i've had my new F-350 for 8 months and 16k miles....no problems, i like it very much....i've had a new truck every 15 months or so for over 30 years, all 3 of the usa brands...this truck has a very put together feel and the best puller i've had, including those that were chipped....fuel mileage when pulling is better than anything i've previously had, including dodge with 5.9 and 6.7, 96 duramax, and all engines ford has had for the last 15 years....empty fuel mileage is consistently .5 to 1.2 better than my 5.9 megacab....my main load is a boat, 15.5k, 10.5 wide and 13.5 tall, pulling at 65 mph, i get 10.5 +/- .4, best dodge mileage was 7.5, previous ford 6.4 was 6.5, and 6.0 ford was7.2....never pulled boat with the duramax, but it was about the same as the 5.9 dodge....new ford controlls the weight very well, and stops best of all the trucks to date...hopefully it does as well in the long term, as it has thus far..
