kingranch seats are nice unless you have kids they can get in real bad shape real fast if you dont take care of them because they are real saddle leather thats why i didnt get one of the kingranchs because i have a 2year old daughter and the hole leaky sippies ect well just to set a good example real leather and milk doesnt mix very good my truck has the sunroof touch screen 6disc cd and navigation with sirius its way nice i realy like it i deleated my dpf and installed 6'' stacks the truck still has the cat on it it only has 15000 miles on it the trany seams to be holding up real good i pull a 29ft 5th wheel camp trailer witch weights in at about 16000 lbs and i also pull a 25ft duvtail flat bed rated for 25000lbs with a 1995 580k backhoe at speeds up to 70mph with no problems this is the first automatic i have ever owned and i like it every bit as good as i did my manual trannys but here it is with the dpf delete im getting around 450 miles to the tank on a 2008 f250 crewcab short box so my opinion is every one has to decide for them selvs every one is intitled to their own opinion i like my f250 i wish it was a f350 though

Default not bad- most of the time

Minehas been great, but have suddenly lost turbo or something intermittently while driving at highway speeds into a stiff head wind. The dealers have no clue why and it has 40k on it so diagnostic time is at my expense unless they get the engine light to trip or something. Mileage sucks, but even loaded with construction trailer in tow the power is comparable to my '99 with a superchip in it.

I like my f350 so far only has about 700 miles on it but runs good and personally is the smoothest riding 1ton I have ever riden in the mpg and the whole regen dpf sucks gotta love seeing like 14 mpg then regen and it goes down to 13 mpg I only got the XLT with cloth seats and 6 disc changer nothing super fancy but it fits my lifestyle. does ford frown upon programmers?? I have heard some dont care and some people have said they are program ****'s. one day I am going to just fix the whole dpf thing for good but wanna make surethe truck doesnt fall apart first.

Ford HATES programmers. They do ride very good. There is no in between on these things - people love them or hate them. I love gettin in, startin it up, turnin on the radio, messin with the electic seats, mirriors and sliding back glass. Hell, I even like to put it in reverse and check out the little camera in the rear view mirror. As soon as I put it in drive and start moving I get an eye twitch and want to go to the Ford house and give somebody a superduty enema! My troubles have not been as bad as ol' boy that had all the trouble earlier in the thread but the state of Texas is workin on my buy back for me. Texas don't mess around with the lemon law sh*t at all. I'm happy for all of ya that like theirs and do feel for all of ya that hate yours.

I have an 08 F350. So far I really like it. It rides well, much better than my 2000 f150. I lift this one. and put Bilstein shocks on it which helps the ride. It starts up easy, pulls well. While I would like to get 20mpg I never expected that. It's an 8000 lb truck.

For my driving about 12,000 miles per year it costs me an extra $750/year to dirve a 12mpg truck instead of a 16mpg truck. Its worth it to me.

Yeah The MPG aren't the best, I know I drive fast, but I should get better than 14 MPG ?? My last tank full was only 13.57 MPG hand calculated
