I am considering a new business venture which will require me to purchase an F350 truck and I could use some experienced expertise in the form of free advise.

This truck would be used in the vehicle transport business and the model calls for an F250 as a minimum and the F350 as the recommended truck. The recommended trailer would be a Featherlite (or similar) 44' gooseneck enclosed car hauler. The model is based upon transporting two cars at a time.

I am researching equipment now and am looking at a 2008 F350 6.4 diesel 4wd.
extended cab. The truck has less than 20 thousand miles on it.

Information that would be helpful to me would be the reliability record of this engine. Avg. milage under similarly loaded conditions. 2 wheel drive vs 4 wheel drive. etc.

Any information concerning this combination and it's intended purpose would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

a buddy of mine has that engine and has had no problems.

I would always go with a 4 wheel drive over a 2 wheel drive just because the 4x4's are more durable. My truck is a 4x4 never need the 4 wheel drive where I live but I feel the truck is more durable.

I cant help you with the mil per gallon under those condition but i would assume with that much weight it would not be very good.
