Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

For serious folks who need a serious work truck, the 2008 Ford Super Duty F-350 DRW fits the bill. Available in Regular Cab, SuperCab and Crew Cab configurations, in XL, XLT, FX4, Lariat and King Ranch trim levels, the Super Duty F-350 DRW offers buyers tons of options that are as versatile as its workload capabilities. Engines range from a 5.4-liter V8 to a 7.3-liter Power Stroke V8 Diesel. Due to its axle design, the DRW offers slightly more payload than its near-twin SRW. The F-350 comes nicely equipped with plenty of power accessories and ABS brakes.

Benefits of Driving a 2008 Ford F350 Truck

The 2008 Ford F-250 (three-quarter-ton) and F-350 Super Duty (one-ton) pickups are intended for those who regularly need to tow large trailers or haul heavy loads. When properly equipped, the F-350 can pull up to 19,200 pounds. These Super Duty trucks also have several features not otherwise offered in their class, such as the rearview camera system, and PowerScope mirrors that fold in and telescope.

What's new for 2008?

For 2008, Ford's recently completely redesigned Super Duty F-Series trucks get a few minor changes. F-350 DRW models can now be outfitted with the stronger-duty front suspension from the commercial-duty F-450 trucks, and a rearview camera system is now available, featuring a display mounted in the rearview mirror.

Original Warranty  Original Warranty An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment. The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including: Basic Warranty: Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters. Drivetrain Warranty: This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be. Roadside Assistance: The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car. Corrosion Warranty: This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal. Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.	Miles	Months
Basic	36,000	36
Drivetrain	60,000	60
Corrosion	0	60
Roadside Assistance	60,000	60

Ford Certified Pre-Owned Warranty  Certified Pre-Owned Warranty To be eligible for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) status, vehicles generally must be recent models with relatively low mileage. CPO vehicles must also pass a detailed inspection, outlined by the manufacturer, which is measured by the number of inspected points. Warranty coverage can vary from one manufacturer to the next. While most certified pre-owned programs transfer and extend the existing new car warranty terms, others offer a warranty that simply represents an additional year and mileage value. Always check with the manufacturer for the specific warranties they offer. Common features and benefits of Certified Pre-Owned warranties include: Age/Mileage Eligibility To even be considered for certification, a car must be a recent model year and have limited mileage. The exact requirements are established by individual manufacturers. Lease Term Certified Some manufacturers offer certified pre-owned cars for lease. The length of the lease is often shorter than a new car lease, but it will cost you less. Point Inspection These inspections entail a comprehensive vehicle test to ensure that all parts are in excellent working order. The point inspection list is simply a numbered list of exactly what parts of the car are examined. While many inspections range from a 70- to 150-point checklist, most are very similar and are performed using strict guidelines. Ask your local dealer about specific details. Return/Exchange Program Some manufacturers offer a very limited return or exchange period. Find out if you will get the sales tax and licensing/registration fees back should you return or exchange the car. Roadside Assistance Most certified pre-owned programs offer free roadside service in case your car breaks down while still under warranty. Special Financing Reduced-rate loans are available through many certified pre-owned programs. Manufacturer-backed inspections and warranties help eliminate the risks involved with buying pre-owned, so buyers who qualify can take advantage of the great offers. Transferable Warranty When a new car warranty transfers with the certification of the car and remains eligible for the next owner, it is known as a transferable warranty. Once the original transferable warranty expires, an extended warranty takes effect. Warranty Deductible This is the amount for which you are responsible when repair work is performed under the warranty. Some manufacturers require a deductible while others don't, so always ask.
