Buyer Beware

Truck has 24,000 miles and has broke down 4 times, all for the same problem, fuel injector. I strongly reccomend not buying this vehicle. If you do, buy the best extended warranty you can or you will be sorry.

It's a good truck

I bought my 2008 F450 used with 30k miles on it 3 months ago. Now it has 41k miles on it. The radiator had to be replaced (job 1 trucks had bad radiators from the supplier) but other than that no problems. The only thing I don't like about the truck is the fuel mileage, but that is partly the goverments fault due to emissions regulations and the manufacturer's deciding to take care of it via a DPF. this really restricts the exhaust and kills mileage. I have heard of 5mpg improvements after removal and reprogramming, but can't say from firsthand experience. It tows like nothing is there and has plenty of power. Ride is not the best, but good for a truck that weighs almost 9000lbs and can tow 24000lbs. When shopping for trucks you can look underneath and see that the Ford is built with much stornger pieces than the Dodge or GM, hence the higher weight and slower acceleration. No, i am not a Ford guy, but I am glad I bought this truck over the others. I only wish I had been able to find it in manual.

TERRIBLE

We haul livestock nationwide. Got a clean 35,000 miles at first then its in the shop for major repares every 10,000 miles since. Not worth the higher expense than the other HD trucks available out there.

This truck can do EVERYTHING!

Absolutly PERFECT! I have no complaints about this truck. Ford really came out with everything they got, on this one. I now will never buy any other brand of truck besides Ford. This truck can do EVERYTHING! It can take the family to church, pull just about anything, and really can keep up on the high way. This car has class, power, speed, and every bell and whisle option that a guy could think of. Honestly, this is a best buy.
