2026 Ford F350 Platinum Plus Review at Mark Martin Motors
Welcome to the blog here at Mark Martin Motors. We are conveniently located right on 4126 Oregon Pike in Ephrata, PA 17522. Serving Lancaster County and buyers from up to a four-hour drive away, we specialize in offering the absolute cleanest, hand-picked used trucks available. Today, we are looking at a spectacular, barely driven 2026 F350 Platinum Plus with only 4,700 miles on the odometer. If you want to know why buying a slightly used heavy-duty truck is the smartest financial move you can make right now, read on as we break down exactly what makes this Ford so special.
Price Comparison Analysis: Saving Big on a Heavy Duty Truck
Let us talk about the real numbers and why you should avoid taking a massive depreciation hit. Brand new, this F350 was ordered with almost every possible factory option. The original window sticker landed right around $109,850, meaning it was essentially a hundred and ten thousand dollar truck. Right now on our lot here in Ephrata, we are selling this exact same 2026 model for under $90,000.
That is an immediate twenty thousand dollar savings just by choosing a truck with 4,700 miles on it. Some folks might worry about a pre-owned truck being abused, but with mileage this low, it still looks, feels, and drives like a brand-new vehicle. When you look at the MSRP versus the used market, losing that kind of money driving off the new car lot just does not make sense. You could take that twenty grand in savings and literally buy a reliable commuter car to keep the miles off your new rig.
Incredible Truck Features and Equipment on this F350
The more heavily optioned a big diesel truck is, the more money you tend to save on the pre-owned market. This Platinum Plus has everything you could ask for and a few awesome aftermarket extras. It is equipped with the high-output 6.7-liter Powerstroke diesel motor pushing 500 horsepower and 1,200 pound-feet of torque. The previous owner already added upgraded fuel wheels and 37-inch tires, which means you are looking at over three thousand dollars in upgraded rubber and wheels that we are not even factoring into the base price.
On the exterior, you get LED headlights and paint-matched bumpers that give it a sleek, unified look. One of the standout factory additions is the 12,000-pound Warn winch, which is nearly a five thousand dollar option on its own. Walking around the crew cab, you will find the FX4 off-road package, an 8-foot bed, and highly convenient bed steps built into both the rear bumper and the sides. Dropping the tailgate reveals a factory spray-in bedliner, a fifth-wheel gooseneck prep package complete with all your necessary plugs, and the incredible Pro Power Onboard generator built right into the bed.
Experience True Interior Luxury and Comfort
Opening the doors to this Platinum Plus reveals a cabin that rivals high-end luxury cars. It features premium Venetian leather and Ford's highly sought-after max recline seats. The seat bottom raises up to meet the top, allowing the entire seat to lay completely flat so you can take a nap in the cab just as comfortably as you would in your own bed.
The luxury continues with massaging seats, heated and air-conditioned seats, a heated steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, and a premium suede headliner. It also features adaptive cruise control to make those long highway drives across Pennsylvania completely effortless.
Break-in Benefits and Final Summary
Beyond the massive financial savings and the interior comfort, buying this truck used comes with a massive practical advantage: the break-in period is already completely done. Ford recommends a strict break-in period for the first 1,000 miles on these heavy-duty trucks. During that time, you are not supposed to do any heavy braking, high-speed running, or heavy towing.
By purchasing this F350 with 4,700 miles, that restrictive period is entirely behind you. You can hook up your fifth-wheel trailer and get straight to work the very same day you take it home. Furthermore, if there were any minor factory bugs that sometimes pop up on new vehicles like a finicky Apple CarPlay connection or a cooled seat needing a quick software update, the first owner already took care of it at the dealership.
If you are within a four-hour drive of our dealership in Ephrata, PA, and you are in the market for a heavy-duty diesel, buying this used F350 is a no-brainer. Save your hard-earned money and get a fully loaded rig that is ready to hit the road today.
