Input on 08 F350

Hi guys,

I currently have a 01 F250 V10 3.73. Looking at buying a 08 F350 XLT V10 auto with a 4.30 rear end and 30,000 miles. Just looking for some feedback on the good, the bad and ugly that I should consider.

I currently tow a 7000lb trailer. I know the F350 is rated for 16,000lb 5th wheel.

Anything I should specifically look for? It is at a Ford dealer.

Thanks in advance

made sure it has the tow command system and tow mirrors.

Check the reciever to make sure it will mount up to your trailer. I hear some of the recievers were a little close in tolerance and people have trouble getting the ball in the reciever. Not a wide spread issue.

Tow command system means the integrated trailer brake controller.
