2007 Ford f350? Known issues?
I'm looking at a pretty good deal on this. Runs good, low miles. Any known issues with this model? It's a diesel but I'm not sure the engine size yet, they have to call me back

Well how to answer this. :h
2007 was the last year of the 6.0, likely the more reliable of the 6.0's. I was a true Blue Ford owner for 44 years, had a couple 460 beasts for a drop in camper, and then a 28' 5er, the Gasser just wasn't doing the job, so went looking for a diesel. Our neighbor who ran log trucks, when he went diesel, he got a Cummins, in a Dodge wrapper, because he knew the reliability of the Cummins.
We bought a used 2001 Ram with a Cummins, only 234,000 miles. Truck and engine in great shape. That was four years ago and currently at 288,000 miles, still a great Engine.
Look at the mileage the Ford 6.0 owners are talking about 70,000 miles, 150,000 miles, I am at 288,000 with a small chip, and towing an 11,000# 5er, for a GCW of 19,500# or so.
So while the 2007 may do you good, take Fish's advice and if you really want a Ford, either find a good 7.3, or step up to a 6.7, or go for a Dmax, or Cummins.
