Thought Id drop a line to report on my little 08 Superduty with 120k on it. I Just completed my 2nd cross country trip (San Diego to Buffalo, NY) without so much of hiccup.
Admittedly on the first trip I was probably hauling a few thousand pounds more, being it was a full size car, on a heavy double axle trailer. This load was a boat, a couple of motorcycles and a big old tool chest full of tools. I also loaded up the bed with a bunch jerry cans of diesel, as well. I averaged about 18.6 mpg over the entire trip.
I was able to knock of #2 and #5 from this list not to mention ripping through the entire 115 degree Mojave Desert with the A/C freezing my toes.

Im still in love with this truck, even though Fords latest variant (6.7) seems attractive and a good ride, Ive never had an issue with this thing. All I do is change the oil every 3-5k and the fuel filters twice per year. Lastly, this thing loves to pull, more so than my 7.3 or my 12v Cummins and thats saying a lot. Ive still not put my EGR delete on basically in case I have to put the DPF on to smog it for a day.
