Hi everyone. I am new here and I wanted to see if I could get some input from those of you who have had or currently own an 2003 - 2007 F-350.

I am currently in the market for an F-250, which I have found a few. However, today I found a 2005 F-350 with 51,000 (Crew Cab, Extended Bed) miles that is just a great deal. I like everything about it and I am giving it some serious thought about purchasing it.

My question to you guys is, what kind of gas mileage can I expect in the city and highway? Will there be a significant difference between F-350 and the F-250?
Are there any known problems I should look for?

Any input would be much appreciated. By the way, if you are wondering, I am getting such a big truck just to have it. I will not be towing anything bigger than two waverunners or 19 foot boat. I just like the look and feel of the truck.

Thanks

 

What motor is in the truck?
