I had a F250 with the same motor and if your talking SRW then the trucks are almost the same. I towed a 29 fountain and it worked great, no issues with it. But I got rid of it due to operating cost, best MPG I would was about 13. If you get a DRW whether it be a 350 or 450 be prepared to only see about 9-10mpg. Buddy got spartan and the dash says 20mpg which is a lie as others have said, its more like 16-18, which is an improvement, but it also cost about about 2 grand and voids the warranty.

I honeslty think the 4.88's are killing it...and the huge rims and rubber. I dont drive it that much...so I guess I can live with it. And surprisingly enough...I cant keep my foot out of it...lol.

Yea thats what im thinking. Seems like my 6.0 has been a good one ill keep it for another year or 2 then def getting a king ranch dually 6.7 cant really go wrong with them. Seems like the 6.4 is a hit or miss just like the 6.0's but just way more money to fix then the 6.0's.

FORD designed, FORD built, FORD tough.
No more Navistar garbage.
400HP, 800FT-LB Torque from 1,600rpms - 2,800rmps.
And they've been virtually trouble-free and incredibly reliable.

not trying to get into a FORD VS Chevy here, but Chevy is supposed to to be out with its highly anticpated 5th GEN line up soon. I would not have a problem with the Duramax. If I were a betting man chevy would be on top of Ford again with a new design

soldier- I've had corvettes, camaros, s10's, but its just something with the ford diesel trucks that ill prob never buy a chevy truck again. I just feel like the fords are the top of the truck world. I want the best diesel truck for the money and the 6.7 is what i want

To be honest I hear a lot less complaints from duramax owners than ford owners. I have a feeling ford owners at times are willing to accept a lot of issues just because of the Ford name thats on the grill.
I would agree 6.7 over 6.4, BUT I have talked to two 6.7 owners and both claimed no better mpg then my 6.4
