Just took a NEW 2008 F450 Superduty Home
Hi folks. This is my first post. I have been a lurker for quite awhile.
I just took delivery on a 2008 F450 Superduty Crew cab. It's a black and silver Lariat w/6.4 Power Stroke.
Here are my first impressions:
1. The 6.4L Power stroke is much smoother and makes about half the noise of my old 6.0L in my old 2005 Excurision.
2. Has almost twice the pickup as the old Power Stroke.
3. No initial turbo lag on takeoff.
4. Seems to accelerate much faster than my Excursion.
5. Getting about 12 miles to the gallon in town but I'm sure that will improve as the engine breaks in.
6. Interior is great. Inside size on cab sems to be about the same as the Excurision.
7. Seats and dash look, feel and operate very nicely.
Overall I think Ford did a great job on the truck.
I can't wait to see how it tows the boat.
I'll try to post some pictures latter this weekend.
The the guys at Team Ford in Marritta, GA think mine is one of the first sold in GA.

I saw that ad on the computer, but can't find an actual number. I guess it really don't matter. Do you have an avis stalwart (stolly)? I have been looking for one for saveral years. I found a guy in england that was going to sell me one but jacked the cost of the stolly and shipping almost double after we had a deal.

I am not so familier I guess with different stalwarts. The one I was looking fo is an amphibious troop/equipment hauler. Like the US duck but much nicer looking 6x6. If you know where i can get one please let me know. I need one ready to go. I am a bit mechanical but have no knoledge on these swimmers. I'm good with my commercial mowers, tractors and fast bikes.
I plan to get a 450 but I bought a 6 liter when they first came out and still have it, but went through all the pains of a new upgrade. I think I may wait about 6-8 months to get the bugs out. I hope there are none. Good luck with yours.
