Never driven the 08-up but I like the 07 6.0 350 we have. It moves very well, tows extremely well, and has been very reliable since we've owned it (brand new). In like 20-25k miles, the only "issue" was water in the fuel which was a 2 minute fix (just have to drain the separator, not really an issue at all IMO).

If you're going to tow, I would definitely go towards the diesel. Not only is it a more powerful engine, and more tow friendly, it has more potential as far as modding (increase fuel mileage, towing ability, etc) and gets better gas mileage than the gas versions. Our truck is completely stock and I think in the city we get about 15-16mpg and highway is about 17-18. Not bad for such a big vehicle. I haven't done a mpg calculation in a long time with it so it might even be better after break in (the ford people say they gas mileage increases after about 20k or so mi)
