Used 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty Consumer Reviews
A First Rate Redesign of the F Series
In my 1 week of ownership I have found my new F350 Diesel to be a great vehicle: fast off the mark, looks good, and decent economy for such a large vehicle. The interior seems to have a solid and upmarket feel - no cheap jiggly plastic, or rattles. In a word: car-like. My usage involves light towing, lumber yards, 5 passenger trips, and also some commuting when the car is in for service. This vehicle is huge, but comfy enough to be driven anywhere. Ford had to get this revision of the F series perfect, and I think they have very nearly succeeded. It is a large improvement over my 2003 F250 - which was 2 generations of truck ago in the Ford Super Duty line. I might ditch the car!
The Diesel Mileage is Terrible, warning
I advise you to read this if you are considering the diesel. Love the feel, the drive, the interior and and comfort. Please Ford, take this lemon back! I am getting 8mpg highway - no load! Less than 6MPG with a load. Ford are aware and will do nothing about it. As far as they say, they never claimed better mileage, just better emissions.

Twin Turbo Power!
I just picked up my fully loaded '08 diesel F-350 long bed dual rear wheel beauty one week ago and I have already gotten tons of compliments on it (at least one a day.) The power is amazing, the engine is deadly silent and it handles like a 1/2 ton! I plan to pull around 17,000#'s with a 5th wheel in the future, but for now it pulls around my 7,000# boat like it's not even there. The interior is by far the nicest I have ever seen in a truck. So nice that my wife even likes to ride in it! She has hated all of my other trucks and would only want to take her BMW until now.Thanks Ford!
Super Duty Rules
I have 1200 miles on F-350 Super Duty with 6.4 Power Stroke and I have already seen 15 mpg at constant 65 mph with cruise. I see 12-13mpg in town. Truck tows like a locomotive...rides like a car. Best ride in any dually out. Leather seats are comfortable, cab interior is carlike. Stereo sound is great. My wife likes to drive this truck better than her SUV...speaks volumes about how well it handles. No diesel will give best fuel economy till at least 5000 miles.
Torn
Have 08, Crew, dually two wheel drive. Diesel. Truck pulls great, rides well. Ordered with 4:30 rear to tow heavy, might be mistake. Fuel mileage is mid 11 to low 12. That is empty. Pulled 13000# 5th wheel and mileage held @ low 11. At price of diesel now, I don't know...
