i have a 2009 and absolutely love it (minus the 4x4). No issues whatsoever. I've changed the oil and thats about it. 86K HARD miles and it runs like the day i bought it.
too much technology in these trucks. Dang truck things its smarter than your foot. ABS doesnt disengage and freaks out when it gets slippery.

I have a 2008 with the 6.0L and it's the LT model.
Problems:
All my speakers are blown out. I don't have the bose package. A guy at work had the same problem with his 08. Easy fix, but kind of sucks.
Had 2 coil packs go out at 35,000 miles
The body is kind of squeaky if you drive around with the radio off
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the truck.

I have that truck with 145K miles on it and I bought it brand new.
I would say that I am not the guy to ask because I have had a lot of problems with mine but everything was fixed under warranty except for the door locks. 3 out of my 4 automatic door locks have screwed up. I had a cam and lifter job done at 20K miles and was in the shop 10 times for the rear end before they finally got it right. I think I just got a bad truck, but otherwise I love it.
I am thinking about getting a new one, want to buy it.
