Great Truck
There was no option for the 6.0 Diesel so had to choose the 10cyl. In 4 months the truck has over 40k miles and gets 21.4 mpg using reclaimed oil/diesel mix costing about $0.38/gal.As with our other company trucks the leather is the poorest quality to be found in a vehicle. The sheet metal is so thin that damage occurs just shutting doors. None of our trucks have ever failed to perform with 86 1-ton having 800+k miles. Hope this new engine and trans holds up like Ford's of old. Wish these $45,000 trucks had better metal quailty and interior leather. Oh, the power window on passenger has been replaced 3 times. Noah

Quality policy needs review
I've driven 10,000 miles since I bought my truck. Still get valve noise until engine is hot. Mileage is 13.5 mpg when I try. The steering is very light on- center and is sometimes hard to keep straight on rough roads. I've had to take it back to the dealer four times for engine clatter when cold and for other drive train noise. On the positive side it has the best factory paint I've ever seen and the interior room is great. I have to wonder if the 'thin as water' 5w20 oil the factory says I have to use in the engine contributes to the valve clatter.
You're Out of Your Mind
I was! I sold my Dodge Cummins to buy this pretty Ford that had been babied for its 56,000 mi. After a month I had to replace ball joints and that seemed strange. Then I towed my 5000lb boat, the first time the truck had actually towed anything and it overheated. I go to the dealer and he immediately rattles off $5000 in repairs. I ask how he knows this and he says "These 6.0 engines do this." Since it's out of warranty it's all on me. Ford will do nothing even though they know so many of their trucks are lemons. I never had this problem with a Cummins, so if you want a diesel stick with Dodge.
Go Ford or go Home
Just look around, a Chevy or Dodge can never be found towing anything. You can't tow with those trucks. Ford super duty's come with 4 wheel disc brakes, I can tow a 6 ton trailer, carrying a 10,000 pound skid steer loader. You have to buy what works for real men in the construction and towing industry. Listen, 90 percent of all tow trucks built are Ford, case closed. Ford tough to make money, not to look cool and be comfortable, if you want that, buy a Mercedes.
