I bought my truck new this past April (2012) and I love it. I have a 6.2 L V8 and I love the engine as a work truck. On a day to day basis the fuel mileage is not that much different than the diesel I had before. The F-350 is a great work truck and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a serious work truck. If you are considering a diesel version, definitely give the gas version a test drive before you buy.
