F350 6.0 Diesel 4x4 Lariet 6.5' bed
Have driven Fords for years this is biggest i've owned. for size gets good fuel mileage and its not even broke in yet fit and finish is good haven't found any flaws either being truck driver I love the size. if not use to size i'd think twice about buying this truck takes a lot of room to turn and park hard to see over the back and things can disappear if they get to close to the rear like small sports cars
Owner
My F350 6.0 diesel is a fantastic engine. Pulling power is massive. I pull a 42 foot 5th wheel, no problem. 175000 miles and going strong. The problem most people have is they think they are driving a gas truck that can be driven 100,000 miles without opening the hood. With any diesel you must stay current with oil changes. This 6.0 uses oil pressure to open the fuel injectors.Dirty oil plugs them up making them lean out and run hot. This will damage the infectors, over heat the coolant clogging the EGR cooler. Like a snow ball rolling down hill it just gets worst until it fails. It's best to use the best oil you can buy. ( Full Synthetic ) and always use Ford oil filters and fuel filters. Fuel filter changed every 2nd oil change.

First Deisel - - It's Great
I have driven it less than a 1,000 miles and I am very pleased with the performance and comfort of the vehicle. I am looking forward to pulling our 35 foot trailer and seeing how it performs. I have now driven my F-350 about 12,000 miles with most from towing a 35ft RV. I am extreemly pleased with the overall performance. Towing mpg is about 11-12 and non-towing is 20 mpg. The uphill towing is great. I have no complaints except for the engine noise. I have gotten used to it on the highway and don't ever think about the noise. In town, it is louder than most vehicles. I think Ford fixed the noise on the newer models. I hope to keep this gem for several years because I am very happy with it when I am towing the RV. Loaded, the RV weighs about 10,000 lbs. I haven't gone up a grade pulling my RV that I couldn't increase my speed if I wanted to. That's really good. That's not like my previous vehicle because I could floorboard it and lose speed down to 30 mph and have to endure the pokey climb up the slope and still have my engine overheat.

Honest Opinion
I really like this truck, however I continue to have a large number of nagging problems. My steering/brake pump went out at 6000 miles, my auto-locking hubs went out shortly after that, and now it's back in the shop for a massive leak (power steering fluid). The leak may be related to poor workmanship on replacing the pump, but the dealer assured me that the mechanic with 22 years of experience who replaced the pump was the best around. I know vehicles will have minor problems, but when you are in the shop three times in the first 10,000 miles, you begin to wonder.

This is my second F350 I bought my first one last year and traded it in on a new one this year. At first I was told about all the problems with the new 6.0L But I never had any. The only problem I ever had was seeing the chevys and dodges in the mirrors. If you are doing any pulling buy ford they changed me.
