Having just returned from a thousand mile trip: this is the most powerful, economical, comfortable, appointed, and easy to drive truck I have ever been in.

Good going guys.

Me either.
I drove an F150 from Colorado Springs to AL in late May and I sure missed my Super Duty.

Here, here!

I agree completely, my friend. It takes a lot of worry out of towing.

I take a 1400 mile round trip every few weeks to MO, and this truck far surpasses the comfort of my 06 FX4 F-150. I would drive it across the country in a heartbeat.

Great to read a more positive thread.

1,750 miles on my truck and I love it. No problems, issues, or concerns and what a ride.

Same here. When I had my 2005 F250 we always drove my wife's Prius on the weekends, around town, and on trips. Now it seems we always have excuses as to why we should take the 2012 F350 instead. We started out with the typical " which car are we taking" . Now we don't ask and just head for the 350!

The 4317 mile trip to South Dakota was a dream in the Super. Even on mile 4000 I still had a smile on my face driving down the road. This truck is much more comfortable than my 05 ever thought about being.

OP keep the miles rolling

Just turned 9410 miles on mine after moving half way across the country.
Gotta say too, way more comfortable than my 06 F250.

Pulled a 11,000 cargo trailer almost like it wasn't there. Pulls our 37 ft. TT like a dream.
