Hey, So I just got offered a smokin deal on an 08 Super Duty.. and I think Im going to pull the trigger. I was just wondering how you guys liked yours. I have the 7.3l right now which I like alot, but its just not modern enough to make me happy. Looks like a damn work truck and that wont cut it anymore. Iv driven the 08 alot and I know its well taken care of and has 36k miles. Iv never towed anything with them and thats what concerns me. I never keep a truck longer than 2 years but I want to change that! I atually really want a Duramax but for the price Im having a hard time walking away from these damn Fords!

Ya I have an 08 F250 SD, and I love it. Gas mileage sucks, but it tows fricking awesome. I have a 1985 5th wheel trailer that is close to 7k lbs, and pulls it like nothing.

I would hold out for what you want! There's a reason why ford ditched the 6.4 engine program so quickly!
-
Ya Ford got into it with the company making them, so they brought it in house
-
or was it the fact that ford owed navstar a crap load of money?

oot taht puY

they are still in court over the 6.0

How many miles on the 7.3? Superduty body style?
If its a S/D, probably better off upgrading the front clip ('08+) and Freshen the rest of the truck...that 7.3 will go 500K+ mi. I dont know much about the 6.4's, but the 6.0's don't have a very good track record.
just my .02

My 7.3 runs great and I dont mind the exterior.. Its the interior that bothers me to death. Under 120k miles. I know the 6.0s are junk without the right upgrades but Iv heard good about the 6.4 except the mileage. Never any info on towing though. The Duramax that Id want is over 40k and this Duty would be around half the cost.
