Buying trucks is fun and tricky all at the same time.
As a general rule, I try to avoid first year models of anything. The 2017 F350 would qualify since it was an entirely new truck starting that year. It takes a year or two for kinks to be worked out.
Now, if its a 6.7 diesel, those are pretty good and I wouldn't be too concerned. The engine and trans are quite reliable. I love the 6.7 in mine.
Compare the payloads on both. Its possible, because of various trim and options, the payload on the 2019 F250 could be nearly close to the F350 (but also potentially much lower). Ford's option list and how the payload is calculated is mind boggling. So just compare the yellow stickers and see what's what.
If both are clean inside and out (check everything, even the headliner), it comes down to payload. Rarely anyone complains about having too much truck.
