Alrighty gents... and a few ladies... looking at an 09 F350

Hi all,

I am looking hard at this truck, drove it yesterday. It seems great.

what's the skinny on the 6.4L ?

  • I get about 10 to 12 mpg towing. It's a great engine with no problems after 60k miles. It's a beast pulling my heavy TT.
  • Lots of power but, as Donn noted, very thirsty. Check out Powerstroke.org if you want detailed information.
  • Decent truck if taken care of. The 6.4 has a less than stellar record and is generally noted as a fuel hog. There are better trucks out there for sure. Remember it was a IH motor at the end of the Ford/IH relationship.
