My ford f350 7.3 l is a terrible. The 10 speed transmission won’t last 40000 miles the engine burns through spark plug wires within 10000 miles and ford won’t cover the cost.

I have owned this truck from brand new Oct 2020, I have likely had it in the shop 25-30 times, buzz noise from the day I drove home, it was a leaky vacuum hose, leaky sunroof, 4X4 not working (X3), squeaky front end (also 4wd related, told only to use 4wd when necessary), seat backrest squeaks, seat cover (base) cracked, eazy enter seat function makes a xxxx of a noise, ford pass quit working, backup camera is intermittent, touch screen doesn't work 2 out of 3 starts, less power than it should have especially in lower gears (diesel), transmission jumps between gears up an down when pulling a load it is very violent, hard shifts with no load, squealing alternator or tensioner pully. Currently has 97,000 km and is going to start costing me big money. Sad part is this 2020 F350 Platinum that was pushing $100,000 new has been a million times better than the 2019 F350 Platinum that I traded for it. This isn't a fluke, they are just poorly built. I put 230,000km on my 2011 GMC 3500 pulling 25,000 LBS 3 times a week for 5 years and had it in the shop 4 times all covered by warranty that they extended for the problemed DEF system.

Used to pull travel trailer. Powerful enough to haul big load reliably in nasty weather. 22 mpg when not towing, 9-13 when pulling trailer. Can run easily in cruise under load. Temp range operated in is -30 to 100+ with no problems. The ride is quiet. The 1000+ ft-lbs of torque means you can accelerate in a huge hurry if you need to. This rig is on the road 6-8 months out of the year. You can easily make the run of Houston->Minneapolis in an 18 hour straight shot, it's comfortable and quiet enough. By comfort this means comfy seats yes but more importantly you're not fighting the wheel and getting tired driving in crosswinds. I didn't buy this to impress my neighbours; I bought it to carry and haul, and it does very well doing that.
