Anyone out there own a F250 Super Duty Diesel? Looking to see if you're satisfied with that choice in tow vehicle.

Looked at both Dodge and GM trucks but the price tag on those trucks is outrageous. I really like my GMC but its time is coming to a close. The Pennsylvania salt mine roads are taking their toll.
Just pulling your chain but I do love the Ram trucks. The feel they have and the ease of handling on the road especially pulling an RV is what I really like. The other stuff is all just perks to me.Looked at both Dodge and GM trucks but the price tag on those trucks is outrageous. I really like my GMC but its time is coming to a close.

I just traded in my GMC Sierra 2500HD. It was a great truck but the environment was not kind to it. I wanted to get rid of it while it still held a good value. And that it did.I have heard more good on the CHEVY/GMC and less good on the Ford. I don't know to many folks with the Dodges, so, can not say.
Great choice bud. Good luck with it.Well, the deal is done. Picking up the new truck on Saturday. My wife and I just celebrated our 25th anniversary two days ago. I recognition of that we purchased a Silver 2017 F250 Super Duty Diesel. Having the 5er frame rail system installed the middle of next week. I'll be installing the Reese Signature Series 18K hitch adapter myself along with some airbags for ride leveling. Got a big trip planed for next month and not a lot of time to prepare.

This is our 3rd time that we purchased a silver truck for that reason.I love the color of your truck too as it is forgiving with swirl marks and dirt and and just looks good. Had your 2008 developed any rusting around rocker panels, wheel wells or tailgate? The reason I ask is I see that in my area as we use salt like it is going out of style.
Anyhow, some new toys just arrived today. Air bags, hitch adapter and 7 pin wiring harness adapter came today. Tonneau cover arrived yesterday. Husky liners coming tomorrow. And..... The fifth wheel rail system is being installed Friday.

You'll get this whatever vehicle you had bought.I can't help but wonder why so many people would keep buying them then? I mean, if they are such an inferior product and all.
They aren't alone in the DEF government crap. I have heard that they work pretty good if you don't idle a lot. At least on the big truck diesels, but it makes sense on the others. The Def system re-burns the soot and diesels make the most at idle.Only thing I've heard of is engine/DEF issues with ford diesels. Thankfulyl not near as catastrophic as the first gen 6.7 clusterFk
