hauling

I have a super duty truck, so Iknow how tuff these trucks are. But good would these trucks hold up to day in day out hauling heavy loads long distances with the proper maintenence. Thinking of getting 450 or 550 to do some hauling. just want to know what you guys think

I think I saw some info on the 2008 F-450, which will be available as a pickup, being rated for up to 24,000#. Since the new trucks will have the new 6.4L engine, there's not a whole lot of "out in the real world" data to be had on that one as of yet....
