Used 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty Consumer Reviews
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...
F350 King Ranch DRW LB 4X4 6.4 Diesel
I have owned several Ford trucks, and they have all been solid workhorses. My new F350 DRW with the optional 6.4 diesel appears to be of the same cut of cloth. So far, it has met every work task with ease. It rides like a half-ton SUV, pulls like a locomotive and has the looks to turn heads. Some new owners complain about fuel consumption. Granted, it would be great to have all this ability, plus 25 MPG, but that's not what these trucks are designed for. They are built to pull heavy loads, and you have to pay a price for that. Would you expect a draft horse to consume the same amount of feed as a burro? If you need a truck for heavy towing, I suggest you strongly consider the F350.

Update on 2008 Super Duty
I have 08 F-350 Super Duty DRW with 6.4 Power Stroke and 4.10 rear end. Drove truck on 2200 mile trip towing a 6500 LB. boat with a 600 LB. quad in the bed. Avg. mpg was 13.2 for the trip. Mixture of mountain towing and flat lands. Truck performed exceptionally well...great power and brakes. Now that I'm back with 5000 miles on truck I have seen 17 mpg empty. Truck is breaking in well and mpg is climbing. This truck is the best tow vehicle I've ever driven. It has the guts to pull hard on 6% grades with no sweat.
Awesome Dually Diesel
Great truck. I bought the King Ranch Dually Longbed 4x4. I ride is great and everything is awesome except the mileage. No more than 19mpg at 55 mph. If you go faster the mileage drops fast, 11mpg at 75. Looks and comfort are great. Parking is hard, but that's to be expected. Heated seats and stereo are also great. Cabin is very quiet and comfortable on long trips. Interior design is very nice and easy to use. Nice big AC vents
Diesel
I use this to tow my race cars. It does a great job. I replaced my 2001 F150 Supercrew with the F350. I've done a best of 22 mpg at 60 mph on cruise control. Towing I get 13-14 at 65 with a car on a trailer behind me. Around town it's 10 or so unloaded. It's so quiet I barely hear it running. This is unlike any diesel I've ever been in. I will likely drive this truck until it dies.
