Used 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty Consumer Reviews
feedback
Quieter than my 6.0, but seems to have less torque, fuel mileage is 1-2MPG less than my 6.0, has plenty of power to pull 39' horse trailer and hauling 15 rolls of hay, seats are still not comfortable and have been since 2002 models, sides of front seats push in at the hips and cause discomfort after a few hours of driving, Ford still needs to redesign front seats, vibrates at take off, worse when pulling loads, bumpers are the pits any more on new trucks, they are nothing more than cosmetic like car bumpers, Factort Continental brand tires stink, rubber gets gummy and peals in hot road conditions, they are worn out by 30,000 miles, Ford can do better on a 50,000 truck.
Amazing towing ability!
I recently had so many problems with the 2003 diesel that I traded in for an 08 crew cab Lariat dually. It pulls my 26K trailer with 3 horses like a freight train! Quiet, dependable and fun as hell to drive! Absolutely love this truck and will definitely recommend to friends who are getting rid of their Chevys!

not the only one with a radiator problem
Checked with Edmunds.com and found multiple people with radiator issues. Within one year 2 recalls, (one with the radiator) now they tell me thousands to replace it, not covered by agreement. We had work done months ago they charged us for and when we called Ford found out it was covered and was issued a check. Not feeling warm and fuzzy with you people. Not getting lots of answers from the dealer either. Seems strange with a radiator recall, now we have to replace it. Not happy at all
So far, So good!
This is a great truck so far! The mpg could always be better but it's new and diesels need time to break in and get better mileage.(about 12.5mpg with 2000 miles on the truck) Haven't had any blue smoke like I read from others, also with the new emission regulations the Cummins and the Duramax aren't getting much better mpg compared to the Ford, so blame Washington for that! I pull a 14,000 gvw gooseneck dump trailer and this truck handles it loaded with ease! Like I said this truck is new, with a brand new diesel. I have faith Ford learned it's lesson with the 6.0 and will not shoot itself in the foot with this new 6.4!
08 Ford 6.4L 4X4
2nd Review, Now have 49000 miles on truck. For the first year only in the shop 13 times. 2 Radiators, Turbo controller, P/S idler pulley, A/C repair, Still smimmys when starting from stop. Trans now and again down shifts hard like I got rear ended. Dealer says no problem found. Goes into regen 3 to 5 times a day, sucks fuel while in regen. Dealer says, That is normal. Before computer up date, maybe regens 3 times a week. The truck has power, I am afraid to take off road. Will the radiator leak? Will I start a desert fire from the regen? Will I have to walk 60 miles because the truck broke down? My 2000 Ford f250 4X4 7.3L,(bought new), 268,000 miles in the shop 4 times.
