IMO the Ford Super Dutys have the toughest suspension of any pickup I've ever known of, or owned. My 2011 with the 6.2L gasoline engine (power and torque aplenty) was bought new in October of that year. It was bought to be a farm work truck basically. It now has 294,000 miles on it, hard miles mostly, pulling large (1000-1600 gal.) nurse tank trailers and just general everyday field use. There's never been a wrench on the motor except for spark plug replacement and one coil pack, and routine maintenance. The suspension is now needing some attention but it still drives great on the road, with no wandering or "pulling" to one side or the other.
As you can expect it doesn't get great mileage with the kind of usage it gets. The average since the truck was new is a bit under 12 mpg, but the dependability and lack of repairs goes a long way in buying gasoline. I bought another one in 2015, with 23,000 miles on it, from my son. It has the same engine. It now has 170,000 with the same results. They are one tough truck and engine combination.
