I have 1 and I love it! Had 3 Burbs in a row, never had a p/up and I think it is great! I do have a Lariat w/ a 4:30 gear. Turns awesome!!:D

How is the ride compared to the f350 I'm thinking about trading mine on one.

Have you done any upgrades? We have one and it pulls great! However, we travel all over the place and it drinks some fuel! I think we have the same gear. At 70 we turn like 2600RPM, you do the same? Looking at chips and intakes to get more economy. I know economy and F-450 don't go hand in hand, but getting 7-8MPG is a bit tiring.

Have never been in 350 dually, sorry. But, the ride compared 2 my 3/4 Burb w/ helper springs is about the same. I am very impressed w/ the ride(450 dually). A highway run is super comfy!!

I have one with about 14K miles on it and the 4.88 gears. Mileage is improving a little but it still sucks. About 10 if you keep it down to 75 and empty, which I don't do. The ride on the highway is great, however around town it is pretty stiff. Nice truck with lots of creature comforts. Just uses alot of Diesel.
