| We need to replace our truck that has 250,000 miles on it and are looking at Fords this time , a 2012 king ranch diesel dually just wondering how everyone is liking them. We stopped driving Fords in 2004 after way to many repairs but I know the newer ones are suppose to be better. Our duramax has been a great truck but it looks like we might need more work than it is worth . Thanks |

Eta: we test drove one and it drives like a Cadillac and turns like a car. That was a big plus for me.

| Thanks for the replies. I had to sit out all summer except for close evens because our truck was overheating so bad and no one could figure out why. So it is going away I am getting to old to waste time watching everyone else have fun. My husband also want to go back to hauling horses a little so need something reliable. |

| I have not heard a single bad thing about the 6.7L engines, though I feel like a majority of them do not have enough miles on them to really see how they hold up, if that makes sense. My boyfriend's dad has two F450 duallies. We use them to haul my trailer occasionally. They haul like a dream and my trailer is not small by any means. They are both entirely stock, at the moment. I have driven one a couple times, and they handle wonderfully. I drive a 4 door long bed 2003 Ford, and it is a total boat. These duallies are even larger, but handle like an SUV. I wouldn't hesitate to have one! |

| Thanks I know they haven't been around long so hoping they hold up well. We bought one today and my husband flies out to Columbus, OH to drive it home. We couldn't find any close to home that didn't have 100,000 miles already. So gulp now I have a truck payment. |

Location: NE Pa-Gods Country | i had a 2011 F350 strait axle ...loved it no problems...13-14 mpg hauling trailer...20 empty...traded for a 2013 F350 dually, and love it even more hauling my 3horse 12 ft LQ...no problems ever. tow haul feature works like a Jake edited to say that only reason we traded in was my trailer was too heavy for the strait axle. more stability with the duals

| Thanks I am liking the feedback. Our other truck has been so good but so wore out now. I can't wait to be able to get down the road again. |

| To cutnrunqhmt, I am sure you'll be thrilled with your choice! I would love to have one someday, just not in the cards right now!
To those of you getting approx. 20 mpg with your 6.7s, is this stock? The ones I use occasionally get about 14 mpg without a trailer, and 10 ish with. They are F450 duallies though, so probably a bit heaver than the rest. Purely curious! |
