How does the 4x4 superduty 250/350 ride?
-Compared to older 250's/350's?
-compared to a 4x2 SD F350 DRW?

I have driven the F350 Dually a lot, and to me it rides pretty good. Definatly good enough for a one ton truck. It rides better than my Jeep...I just haven't really driven the 4x4 and was wondering if I would notice much difference.

I think it will depend on which engine is in it. PSD's weigh 930lbs. dry:-staun

Wow, I didn't realize the PSD was THAT heavy. So you are saying the truck will ride better or worse with the diesel? I don't need something that rides like a cadilac, just has to be comfortable for everyday driving. (translation- has to ride better than my current vehicle, a lifted Jeep)

No, I go to MSU...

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 01-Apr-02 AT 09:32 PM (EST)]The two trucks listed at the bottom are two examples I have experience with.The 02 rides better especially on rough roads.The 96 in all fairness rides very well on decent roads.
I also test drove a 02,SRW,SD,2wd.,V-10 with the twin I beam front suspension and IMO it didn't ride as well as an 02 350,SRW,diesel,4wd.that I also test drove,and the 02 of mine listed below.It didn't ride bad,it just didn't seem as solid in front.

Just remember,they aint half tons.
