Critical Review
I ordered a new 2024 F350 XL, 8' Bed, 4x4, Diesel. It is a nightmare, nothing but problems from the beginning. Truck now has 11,000 miles and it has been back at Ford service 11 times. I bought brand new for one reason, because I needed reliable and didn't have time to deal with problems. This truck has been totally the opposite. Nonstop problems that Ford can't get fixed, I'm back at service over and over costing me down time, lost work, and right now I would be afraid to even drive it out of town or any distance. And there is no accountability from Ford... if this were a TV that didn't work you would return it for your money back, Ford just short of shrugs there shoulders and says "sorry bring it in again". Some of the issues: At only 500 miles the computer/CAN communications seem to crash, truck faulted for everything, logged 30 some codes, some Ford didn't even have info on. Ford reset OBD but never found a resolution. From the beginning driver window intermittently stopped without closing all the way. Ford ignored my complaints until it got so bad Ford got it stuck one day while they had it in service. In the end it was like 6-8 trips back to service and 3 new window modules put in to get that issue resolved. Various rattles and clunks in the front end and steering. Ford found numerous issues including a fender installed wrong, and tie rods that needed to be adjusted. Still problems with the steering that they can't fix because they can't get parts. 7 weeks now and I'm afraid to leave town with the truck. Truck displays "warning, may not start/re-start service immediately" and shuts down the next time you put it in park. After re-start the message is going, no faults or indication as to why, no advice from Ford. Gauge cluster illumination (backlights) turn themselves on randomly when the truck is sitting parked untouched. I seemed impressed at first how smooth the 10-Speed transmission went through the gears. Then I started noticing sometimes it will slip, and then BANG, slam into the gear on an up-shift. When I put the truck in park, start to get out and pull my foot off the brake, it rolls away, to the point you react to jump back in, then the transmission catches. AC sometimes turns itself back on automatically after turning it off. Trailer brake monitoring is flaky, often has messages about trailer light problems when there is not even a trailer connected. That's some of my problems. I totally got ripped off. With accessories I got about $70,000 into a brand new truck I'm afraid to use and costing me time and money taking it back to service nonstop. There is no good solution for me. I can't buy another one. There is no good outcome that won't cost me 10's of thousands of dollars more.

I have a 2024 F350 that has vibrations at highway speeds. The tires have been balanced multiple time and then replaced and the condition still persists. One Service Advisors technical response was that all one ton trucks ride poorly and that I need to add 1,000 lbs to the bed to better align the pinion angle. SMH. This is my 5th Superduty and they have all rode smooth before. I won’t be buying another one

This truck is fantastic. Wanted it for the 7.3 Godzilla with the 10 speed, 4x4, and the hihest capacity on a single rear wheel truck. Was tired of the shorter beds, wanted the 8 foot. Tons of power and plenty of standard features. The standard class V 2 1/2" hitch is awesome. Special ordered with the scales, FX4, 360 camera, and onboard 2000w power. The factory spray in bedliner is the best. The FX4 gives you the bigger tires and skid plates. Payload on this nears 5000 pounds, GVWR is 11,400. Does everything I need a vehicle to do. Typical MPG is just under 15, but I do not do alot of highway.
Heavy-duty, fuel economy, confort
You can park anywhere
