Re: 2008 f350

I had a 2008 F350 and put 160 000km and just traded it off on a 09 F250. The 350 was pretty good work truck, decent power, 12-13 mile/usg empty or about 500km/100L tank (my 250 is about the same) and around 7-8 miles/usg or 350-400/100L tank pulling 4 sleds or my 26' holiday trailer. The ride is pretty good for a one ton and truck handles pretty good as well, they are not as nice as the chevs but that is what you get for a solids front axcel. Reliabilty was pretty good expect they do this stupid cleaning exhaust filter cycle every tank or so it robs you some power and drinks the fuel when it doing that. They start really well in the cold, last Januaury in Valemount she got down to -35C and the old girl fired right up not plugged in (wasen't happy about it but did).

The auto 5 speed tranny handles the trailers nice and shifts down for you when braking and tow/haul is enganged plus the intgrated trailer brake controller works good and is easy to use.

If you are only using it to tow and work I'd say your safe just don't expect wonderful mileage. And if you need to be doing any 4-wheeling make sure you have some weight in the back the front end it very heavy and the back end drives pretty light.

Hope that helps

Re: 2008 f350

no no no junior, its: For Off Road Driving, but i would definitely recommend an 08 f350, the only thing that might dissapoint is the fuel mileage which actually isnt to bad, they get about the same mileage as my dads 7.3l or better

ya i love that truck, today its at 299,834km and have never had any problems and it still has lots of power(cold air intake and 4 inch dynomax turboback exhaust), the mileage is questionable, it gets around 12mpg but hey im 17, tends to get bad mileage the way i drive and dad doesnt drive it much better than me. i think dad is going to wait until late 2010 or early 2011 and try out one of them new 6.7l powerstrokes and it wouldnt surprise me if the 7.3 drives until 2011 with probly another 100 thousand on it
