Well ended up with another Ford. Picked up a 2010 F350 DRW Lariat. Truck is quiet and rides and handles absolutely awesome. Way better than my 2005 F250. Hopefully this will be one of the good ones!! Thanks for everone's input!

Why didn't you wait for the 6.7? They'll be on dealers' lots in Feb.

I needed the truck now and got a GREAT deal. None of the dealers I spoke to could verify they were coming out in February. PLUS, I never buy a first year production engine or vehicle...why wait for something I wouldn't buy anyway??

Found what I think is a good deal on a new F450 to pull the MTI. Below invoice plus $4500 Ford incentives, plus state tax deduction if purchased before 12/31. My F250 just won't cut it anymore. Opinions? First hand experience? Only thing I didn't like was the 8.4 MPG on the test drive. 4.30 gears....is this accurate?
Thanks
Thanks
much more done to it by the 'roll-a-long' company in cali. pm me if you'd like more info. otherwise, there's a pic of it in the classifieds w/ my skater hooked up to it.

it was actually built in '07, but did not get the truck until january 2009. lots of engine/tranny/brake/rear end/air bag etc... work done to it.
hope this helps,

Yesterday I drove about 550 miles in my 08 F350 SD DRW 3.75. At 60 MPH on the NJ tpk (southbound) I got 19.8. At 70 I got 13.5!!!!! I was using the built in Ford computer for the measurements. The only difference I could see was 0 boost at 60 and 15 PSI at 70. I could not believe the difference. I was not carrying a load while I was making these measurements. I am going to have to ask my dealer if you can program the turbo to reduce the boost if you are cruising.

How's this priced? Our dollar is close to 1:1 with yours.
