What is yours like for power Duncan? I sure do love my 7.3's mileage as it gets 20 on average driving at around 115. But it just turned 200,000 now, so I was thinking about checking out an 08. If I get time I will have to read up more on them i guess.

I know my truck is just getting broke in, but at the same time, i sure do like looking at the odometer and seeing a lower number!
I cant quite remember Morris, how many kms did your PSD have on it when you got it?

Power is outstanding. I took an 04 for a test drive and the power seems to be about the same. Its just a different type of power if that makes sense, than a gasser. The turbos wind up and it just goes. Can't wait to start pulling with it.

It`s my Sunday driver!
The 6.0 is quite different from a gasser, hook up a 10,000 lb trailer on it and you don`t even know it`s behind you.

I dont think the 6.4 has any more power than the 6.0 because its pushing through that particulate filter and that robs any extra power it makes over the 6.0 but its much more refined (actually VERY much more refined). The turbo lag is greatly improved, the truck is so quiet inside, and I think lots of the areas where the 6.0 had problems have been improved upon. I would buy one without hesitation!!
However, the red colored side vent just doesnt seem to match anything so I would replace it with the aftermarket chrome piece. Also, my wish list also included the new truck to be more like the Tonka concept ...... oh well --> they are quite alright the way Ford made 'em.
Like the others have stated - any of the diesels are so very nice to tow with but they are expensive so everyone has to weigh out their priorities.

naa...chuck priorities out the window. you really didn't need a house anyway...
i was chatting with a tradesman in town the other day that has 2 or 3 6.0 litre SD's, and he just loves them. he says his '05 s'crew dually gets in the 18-20 mark, and his '07 ext cab shrt box is in the 15 range and getting better. he had a late '03 with one of the first 6's and never had a hitch with it.

what are the new F150's rated to tow marlon??[/QUOTE]
Mine is rated to pull 8800lbs it would be 9300lbs if I didn't have the optional 18" rims.
There's 5400 klm on my '07 now. My Dad has had his '05 6.0l for just over 2 years now with only 20,000klm on it.
