Love my truck, Job 1, Have had it for almost two years and only minor issue, Radiator leaked, Dealer fixed right away. I tow Horses and 5th wheel up to Utah & Northern New Mexico and Colorado with no problems. Love to pass those Chevy's and Dodge's.I love to drive this truck. Pulls better than my 99, 01,(7.3's) 07,(6.0) f-350's I use to have. Mileage could be better but getting better as the motor breaks in. To date getting 14.5 off the hook and 12 on it, Use synthetics and getting better. But this thing is made for pulling and thats what I do with it. If you want a truck to haul Groceries dont buy this truck! if you need to pull loads all the time this is the TRUCK! Overall love this Truck

13Nov2020: I just bought this used for $25K... I don't even have it yet. I should take possession of it in about a week or two. Mine is used with 100K miles on it. I loved that it was in my budget and had all the capability and capacity I wanted and then some. I don't need 20000lbs towing capacity, but WHY NOT? It was not that much more than the other less capable trucks I was looking and and I do hope to one day pull a 5th wheel trailer. I do not intend to put a lot of miles on mine per year. HOWEVER... got home and starting finding consumer reviews of this vehicle.. now I am a bit scared because there are a lot of bad ones and those are the most recent with the longest ownership history. I checked reviews of other vehicles I was looking at. There seems to be an across the board tendency to either have reviews of fanboys who just bought their brand new truck or salty dogs who are mad after a number of years of ownership and are motivated to write. I am neither at this point. I will add more detail to this as I experience things. For now, wish me luck! UPDATE AFTER 3 WEEKS: Well, I got my money back and I never even saw this vehicle. I am feeling pretty good about my decision to stop this purchase. Every diesel mechanic I spoke to warned be off if this vehicle. I now have a 2004 Chevy Silverado and I am much happier with my purchase. There will be no more updates to this review. Sorry! (would just remove it if they gave the option but there still might be useful advice for this)

I have had my F-450 for a year and have had zero problems. I tow a trailer that weighs in at 11,000 lbs empty, and 24,000 + lbs loaded. It handles the loads easy, has plenty of power to keep it moving up big hills (Grape Vine, Pacheco Pass). The Tow Command system is incredible with seemless, smooth braking and downshifting to get you stopped in a hurry. This truck rides excellent, interior is beautiful and comfortable. The sound system is top notch. My fuel mileage started out low; about 7.5- 8.0 mpg towing and 9.5- 10 mpg empty. When I hit 15,000 miles the mileage took a jump to 9.5 mpg towing and 14 mpg empty (driving at 70 mph with 4.88 gears). Bottom line, I love this truck.
Best SD that I own, had 7 from 2003

Owned V-10 F250 and 2006 GMC 3500HD Duramax. This truck is superior to all vice three(3) distinct challenges: mileage/Ford-offered retrofits to resolve&increase mileage ARE NON-EXISTENT, drive-train (transmission/differential)slip especially releasing gas and re- stepping on it to begin acceleration again. Duramax+Allison transmission combo. FAR superior in this regard. 3rd item is moderate bucking caused w/ 43.5ft 5th wheel Toyhauler atch'd and truck headed downhill w/ cruise control on. Thought truck was pulling itself apart on 1,900mile cross- country trip. Glad to date/zero ENGINE problems @ 30,000 miles. Knocking on wood and saying a prayer for 300,00 to 500,000 miles problem- free.
