looking to buy a 09 350 to replace my ex 7.3

[rckrwlr]

hey, Im thinking about getting rid of my ex and getting a 09 350 king ranch. Im just realy conserned about the motor, trany, exaust regen. If I do get it the exaust will be the first thing I replace. I'm liking the spartan so far. But does any one have 50k plus miles on their 09 yet. I tow a very heavy toy box. and I dont want to have any trany/turbo issues. or do i just rebuild my trany in my ex and keep it??????

I just made the change you're thinking about and I'll say this: My trailer is 16,500lbs or so and once I towed with the 08 I don't want to go back. I still have both trucks and I love my 7.3 but the tow and driving in the new one is awesom. Now, there are some issues and they are all in this forum, but for pure nice towing there is more difference than I ever thought there would be.
