Pure junk, the 6.0 will fail !!! not an "IF", but a definite "WILL", they just cant help themselves.
2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty SuperCab Lariat 4dr SuperCab SB (5.4L 8cyl 6M)
I originally bought this vehicle to tow a fifth wheel toy hauler which never materialized. I decided to keep the truck mainly because I enjoy driving it so much. Since its diesel, it actually gets better mileage than an F-150 so it really didnt make a whole lot of sense downsizing. Im really impressed with the fit/finish of this truck and dont have any regrets whatsoever. The only drawback with this truck so far is parking which can be a bear at times.
Tow/haul feature and motorized rear window.
2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty SuperCab Lariat 4dr SuperCab 4WD LB (5.4L 8cyl 6M)
I replaced a 2003 F350 Crew Cab DRW LB 4x2 XLT Lariat with all the bells and whistles. Mileage is about the same as with the '03 7.3L diesel but the 6.0L has more torque and is noticeably quieter. Through 12,000 miles already and no problems to report. My spouse absolutely loves to drive my truck when I'm not using it, which is most of the time though. We are still using the '03 and it has 370,000 miles and still not using oil between changes and plenty of power! Just confirms my opinion that Ford really does build tough trucks.
The integrated trailer brake controller and the heated leather seats are my favorite features. 4WD shift on the fly is a nice convenience too, especially out on the farm or deer lease in lousy weather.
Still wish that they offered a GPS Navigation system at the Lariat trim level since I drive all over the US on business.
2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty SuperCab XLT 4dr SuperCab LB (5.4L 8cyl 6M)
I purchased this truck thinking that I was getting a much improved version of my two past diesels, but got a surprise instead. Had a '99 & '03 SD diesels and got 19 & 23 hwy, 16 & 21 city, 17 & 21 towing a 10k# trailered boat. The new F-350 got only 14 hwy and 12 city avg. The worst I got was 8mpg on three different occasions city going up/down hills. Powerwise, it's equal to the '03 and way better than the 7.3 '99 model but the '99 doesn't sound so busy under the hood. The quieter diesel is appreciated by the neighbors around me! The ride is a lot more harsh than the other two trucks and aftermarket tire/wheel combos are limited and pricey due to the 18" minimum requirement. Overall a good truck.
Love the outfitter switches and factory braking system. Stereo system is good for factory.
Include a security system with "fobs" as standard feature since these trucks are being stolen in higher numbers. Very easy to "hot wire" and drive off without much trouble. Ended up installing an aftermarket alarm to keep bad guys out.

Due to the extra purchase cost I got the gas v8. The diesel is needed for heavy pulling, but the gas V8 will do, just slower. Very happy with the truck overall though it did stall out completely one time for no reason and no code was recorded. The built in trailer brake system is a must for towing, but it does hold up the RPM's at times a bit too long and when coasting it will kick up and you have to tap the gas to get it to shift. But great overall. I can't even feel our 4 horse trailer behind it. The interior is very comfortable and large. The engine is thirsty. 12 MPG normally and 9 MPG towing. Fit and finish all are very good.
Built in trailer brake system.
Gas mileage in this day and age should be better and fine tune the trailer system and transmission linkup. Should work smoother with the gas engine.
