[hitchup]

Update: we traded the 2008 for a 2010 after 36 mos.

Simple reason, unreliable. Had 3 radiators replaced and it was about to need #4. Blew hose while making the return trip down I-81, dead battery, DPF hole and replacement. You name it, it seemed to have every problem listed on the Ford SD forums.

Didn't buy a 2011 because: 1) being another guinea pig on new engine wsn't appealing 2) wait was too long since they had just begun to manufacture and we were winding up another project 3) 2010's were slightly discounted

Now after 18 mos and well over 37k miles, I think we've had one minor recall and still on original radiator. :-)
