Used 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty Consumer Reviews
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.
2008 6.4L Diesel
Mine is a 08 F350 4x4 crew cab LB 6.4L diesel. The power is fantastic. The rest is junk. In one year 29000 miles, It has had 2 radiators, idler pulley, hitch replaced, it has a shimmy when starting off they can not fix, (normal for the truck they say), A/C makes noise in cab. Belt squeels loud when A/C turns on. Tire worn out in 29000 miles. All in all would not buy again

Poor MPG on the diesel
The truck is great for sure. I have owned Ford super duty truck since they started. This 2008 is all around best ford F-350 out there, but I have 8k miles on it now and tody is the 1st time i pulled my 40 fifth wheel. The MPG stinks. I got 7.8 at 65mph. Yes I have the 4.10 rear end. I think as soon as my warranty is up I will pull the exhaust system out and change it. I have been told this will make about a 40% better mpg. When I drive the truck without pulling anything it gets 12.2 mpg at 70, 13.8 at 65 mph, 16.0 at 55mph. I know I bought the truck to haul and yes that part is perfect. My last 350 got 17 mpg at 80 mph, pulling a 40 trailer I got 10.4.
Urban/offroad/towing supreme
08 350 Lariat Supercrew Deisel 4x4 exceeds expectations.... ride, performance, and luxury in a mean looking package.... and friendly emmisions too. Fuel economy so, so but a lot better then the H2. Had the Ford Bluetooth Mobilease installed and it works well, ($625.00cdn). This unit will do almost anything, and I enjoy doing eveything with it. Kids love it and my wife enjoys the beautiful cabin.
Awesome Ride
This is the first diesel I've owned and love it. The truck handles very well for the size and the ride is comfortable. Currently not towing anything until the engine has about 10,000 miles on it, and then will tow 12K 5th wheel on weekend getaways. First tank I averaged 11.5 mpg, second was 13.5, and expect it to get better over time.
