I am looking at a brand new 03 F250 super duty. It is a 4X4 5.4L automatic trans truck. Standard cab, long bed. It has the snow plow prep package and the 4.10 gears and limited slip. How are every one's experiences with these trucks? I really like this one, and I am sreiously considering buying it. Any advice is appreciated.

I really like mine. The 5.4 is a good combo with the 4.10's, plenty of power for me (power is not an issue at all) and the V8 sounds good too.
I ordered mine with the V8 and made a good choice. Average mileage is 13-14.
I will say this though...if I were towing heavy (8-10K) all the time I would most definately skip the V10 and go straight for the PSD.

I just bought my 2003 SD 4x4 5.4 regular cab, long bed, auto, with snow plow prep. I switched tires and wheels to BFG 295/75/16 on 16x8 Mickey Thompson Claasic II's. I have had it for about three months now and so far I love the truck. I had a Dodge Ram 1500 for 36,000 miles and had nothing and I mean nothing but problems!!! Good Luck....

Nice choice. I would definitely buy it!!
I'm looking for one just like that except with a manual tranny and manual t-case.

I would go for the V10, I am getting about 12-13 MPG out of it. Thats a few less MPG than the V8, but a whole lot more HP!!

V10's are nasty anyway...those rigs with the 4.30's are VERY nasty. I think they CAN actually pull a house off the foundation.
