So who's going to step up and be the tester for Fords new Diesel given the history of the 6.0.

They are good looking trucks except the headlights look too small to me in person.

Re: 08' GM dually
 

Wiggler- Truck looks MUCH better in person.

Inside these trucks are really nice, will put the Dodges to shame and IMHO have a "GM" look compared to the FORD look the Super Duty has.

I would not pull 24 k with any Ford, i would go with the GM 4500/5500. That much weigh demands a TRUE Medium duty truck.

Anyone know what a new loaded 08 F450 cost.

Re: 08' GM dually
 

Just warning all!! Read the hitch recomendations for trailer and tongue weight. I looked at all the 3500's and I also am a Chevy fan but all brands had higher tow ratings than the hitch that came with the vehicle. Ford came with a 2.5" reciever but the hitch was stamped 15K pounds with weight distributing. I owe an 07 Chevy 3500 and the hitch was only rated for 12 weight distributing. So either way I had to throw away the hitch and ended up with a Putnam XDR rated at 15K pounds standard ball and hitch and with also with a standard 2" reciever. Its upsetting to see all the manufactures put on cheeper class 4 hitches on thier trucks that are rated for weights needed only in a class 5 hitch. Just my 02

Re: 08' GM dually
 

maybe GM puts smaller tires and wheels on their trucks for a lower center of gravity which may help while towing, just an idea.,..
