Used 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty Crew Cab Consumer Reviews
2005 F-350 Crew- H-D Edition
Too much down time.
F-350 Workhorse Diesel
Having had an F-250 in the past, I wanted to move up to a bit more towing and hauling capacity. New coil spring front suspension and shorter turning radius makes this large truck easy to handle. 6.0L diesel is a fantastic engine. Get over 18mpg riding around. Integrated trailer braking system is FANTASTIC. Stops my 35' , 14,000# travel trailer or my empty flat bed trailer 3500# empty with ease and no operator sdjustments required.Lariat interior is very comfortable. I make regular trips from Maryland to Montana and back. This truck is fun to drive as well as easy to drive with quiet comfortable ride.

2005 Super Duty Evaluation
I bought this truck to replace my 1999 F-350. This 2005 is basically the same truck but with the 2005 upgrades. The 2005 has some extremely nice features and some great safety features: The power sliding back window. The heated seats. The backup sensors. The built in trailer braking system in the Tow Command package (it is everything and more than the ads depict; the best trailer brakes I have ever used). The running light/turn signal on the towing mirrors. The heated/sliding towing mirrors. The lighted vanity mirrors. The speed volume control on the radio. The power passenger seat. The shorter turning radius. The 5 speed automatic transmission. A better drive over all.
David's Review
Far better than the Dodge 3500 in mileage, comfort and towing. Not only used as business vehicle but as family automobile. The room it has is excellent, and the rear seating holds 3 adults well over 6" in height. The turbo allows for passing in small areas. I will never own another truck that is not a Ford!
no need for diesel
Definitely the biggest on my block, and the new 3V 5.4L V8 is all I really need. If you're not regularly towing 10K+ lbs on long trips, don't waste the $5K on the diesel, and stop waking up the neighbors. :) This new 5.4 makes more HP than the old 460, and almost as much torque but is 2 litres smaller. I get 14MPG around town despite the 315/70/17 (35") BFG all terrains I added. The 2.5" RevTek level kit ($215) gives it a perfect stance, and the tough exterior design is the best of the Big 3. I bought the XL because real trucks were meant to have rubber floors and basic options. Ford's chrome, carpet and leather don't really hold up over time especially if you use your truck like a truck.
