Very nice looking/Style

Mechanically it is a JOKE. I have have put approx 55K miles on it & have spent $6K in repairs in 2 years. Most have been design flaws that Ford wont own up to/ warrant & I am sick of poor service too. After some research I find I am in the "Norm" catagory - not the Exception. Before this truck, we had 2 Rams/Cummins that we put nearly 500,000 miles on & spent less than half the repair costs on both trucks combined ! I have owned 2 Super Duties & both have been horrible so I'm not buyin' the "You got a bad one", thing.

I think its all realtive.................
After driving a Dodge, I became used to not having a major fix every year - Just maintaining it & driving it. The Super Duty is a pretty truck ! I'm just sick of paying fro those looks through the nose !
If you are OK with shelling out big bucks for repairs periodically, it leaving you on the side of the road, & poor service - Maybe the Super Duty is for you. I know you don't have to accept this & I'm not going to ! I'm done with Ford !

Generally reliable, good towing power, fit and finish is good. I have had very good luck with the dealers. Remarkably good fuel economy for a large vehicle. Consistent service and good grade products are key.

Ford mechanics are very proud of their work and charge accordingly. Factory CD player is pretty junky. Wasn't pleased with Gaudin Ford. Truck wasn't well detailed (dirty) prior to delivery and gave me the run around so many time when I was shopping that I nearly didn't return.

Good solid truck. I have close to 170,000 with minimal problems. I have replaced a water pump, cam position sensor (warranty item), 2 glow-plug relays, and front rotors. Replaced the drive belt when the water pump was replaced. I suspect that the problem with the glow plug relays was related to buying an after market product. I tow a 35 ft 5th wheel which strains the truck a bit when bucking wind and hills but I can live with that. This truck has cold started in -27 degree weather. Fuel economy runs close to 20 mpg in the summer if I drive sensibly. Winter mileage is close to 16 due to longer idling and a switch to winter-grade diesel.
Hauled the ALCAN highway with 3 kids and the 5th wheel and didn't have a bit of mechanical trouble.
The glow plug relay problem has left me stranded a couple of times so I enlisted the services of a pro (instead of DIY)at that point and haven't had a problem since.
Ford recommends Super Duty 10-30W in my climate but it is very difficult to find, other than one jobber and the dealer -who refused to sell in bulk.

Height for off roading, dependibility,pulling power, just great truck. Ford is #1!

That I didn't buy one sooner! Bought this with 50,00 miles on it. Still truckin!

Love this truck, lots of room, very strong engine, high,and reliable so far.
Can pull almost anything. Had other F350 that never ran this smooth. Anyone else had any comments about the 410 limited slip rear end? You can put the truck in "Low four" and it can almost climb trees! Can not say enough about this truck. One of Ford's better Ideas!!!

The trucks are very comfortable and has plenty of power.

The front end of these trucks are sorry and will cost you big bucks to fix them.

I had a 2004 F150 supercrew. Before it had 25,000 miles on it the front end was out of line and it had ruined two tires. Ibought a 2006 model and it did the same thing. This cost 350.00 dollors for a kit in order to align the front end.Plus i had to buy two new tires each time.

Nice Looking.. Nice riding... Good creature comforts.. 6 CD changer... Lots of power...

Previously owned the above mentioned 97 F150.. (probably should have kept it, or gone with a F250 V-10)

With the super chip this truck will boil the tires for 50 ft from a dead idle. Plus pull the world at the same time

Front wheel bearings when the larger tires are used. Gas milage, 9.5 city and 14.2 highway. (staying under 70)

I work on F-350's for a living and love them. The main secret to the transmissions is to use any high quality synthetic oil possible. Ex. lubrication engeniers or AMS OIL are my choise. Since then we go 120K on the trans only servicing them every 30K miles. Mine has 71K with AMS OIL in it and I pull the world with it. Also using the 310HP V-10 engine is great
