I'm on my 2nd 08. First one was built 1/27/07. Ran good, but terible mpg. My dealer is a *****. He talked me into ordering a 2nd, its a good truck mpg went up about 3. I get 9 in town, 12.5 highway and I have 35 in toyo muds. I like fords but this mpg thing is bs. I 've run a superchips flashpaq on both trucks with a dpf shutoff(my dpf fell off, damn it) It runs like a rocket now.

08 F450 KR CC dually with 4.88's and 6.4, about 11K miles and 7 months ownership. It's my fourth new Ford truck in 4 years (two '03's and one 05).
LOVE the truck - disappointed with the mileage. It's in the dealership for a radiator right now - first problem that I've had with it. Very quiet, nice ride, refined interior.
I've towed at 33K CGVW plus - no issues.
If Ford would come out with 2 or 3 more overdrive ranges to add to the tranny, and a larger factory fuel tank, they'd be hitting a total home run. The suspension can use a small bit of tweaking too (it wanders a bit going down the road).

2008-f250 4door lariat with 5800 miles. by far it is the nicest truck i haved owned but the cons outweigh the pros. been in shop 5 times for a total of 8 weeks. i love it but having to deal with these problems suck. i would love it if ford replaced it. thats all i want. a new 08 that doesn't give me problems

I have an F250 with 10K miles 75% of them towing a toy hauler and for bikes. I love the inside of my truck it's a lariate 4X4 very compy and with no interiour noise.
No warr. issues so far.
What i hate..... The fuel economy... towing I'm getting a tad bit over 6 and driving on the road back and fourth from work (very few times due to MPG) it gets 9...
That real does suck................... plus you can't do anything to the truck to help it, like computer or exhaust because of the warr. issue...
So over all I love it.
Would I do it over again NOT A CHANCE.
No warr. issues so far.
