Looking at a new f-350 crew cab diesel 4x4 and was wondering if any differences between 08-09 worth mentioning or problems that were fixed between the two years. Also I've never had a dually and was wondering any major differences between single and dually in miles per gal and ride etc. also wondering if the dually would be better or worse in the snow than a single rear wheel.
Just for info I'll be towing a 25' gooseneck job trailer full of tools, and a construction trailer weighing approx. 15-16k with tractor occationally.
Thanks

I would avoid the dually for snow- they get stuck way faster and easier than a single rear wheel (trust me on this). Other than that I'm no help.

 

DRW would definately be more ideal for the trailer you plan on pulling. As for '08 vs '09, there is really nothing worth mentioning as far as changes go. Just some additional options/equipment on the 09's such as SYNC...

Snow... My last truck was a 4x4 DRW and I had absolutely no complaints about it in the snow. It was especially good once I put some decent tires on it...
