Saw a 2013 Ford 350 Supercab Diesel 6.7 4x4 at the dealer today. 3.55 axle ratio. Torqshift 6 speed Auto with O/D. Dealers website says payload is 3900lbs. Towing capacity is 12,300. Does this sound right? This would be my first diesel engine truck. Being a new leftover thinking I could get a pretty good deal on it.
I have a few ?'s
How is the newer Ford 6.7 diesel engines?
What kind of mileages per gallon to you get without towing?
In general does the maintenance cost a lot more than the GMC 6.0 or ford 6.2 over the long run?
How is the reliability of the truck overall?
I understand today when you bring your truck into get serviced there is nothing cheap anymore!
Any information would help a lot . Thanks!

I believe the payload is about 4000, towing capacity 15900, and combined gross is 23500. The 12300 is I think for the gas. I have a 13 supercrew 4x4 diesel and get around 20 on the highway, 18 just running around, 11 to 12 towing a fifth wheel, 12500lbs and 60 to 65 mph. A service cost me about 150, this only needs to be done every 8 to 10000 miles, it does take 13 quarts of oil. The DEF holds 5 gallons and last about 7000 miles. I only have 11000 miles, but am very happy, power is fantastic.
