"Nice truck. Can pull a house. Heard issues with 6.0 motor....but I have no concerns so far. I really like the styling of the Heavy Duty Fords."

"I've been a diesel truck driver for 40 years and I would say that the O5 is one of the best. It has outstanding power and never fails."

"Have had quality issues from the git-go. Bought the vehicle new and after 100 miles both felt dust seals for the front wheel bearings (4WD) were flopping on the axle. At 27,000 miles, the dealer replaced the turbo as well as the right rear brake caliper. Taking a trip to Fla. this winter, the brakes were squealing something fierce. The Fla. dealer would not warranty anything and I paid $710 plus change for a total brake job on a truck with only 53,411 miles on it!! They said the sliders on the calipers were too rusty. The only thing I ever changed on my 96 F250 were the frontpads and rear shoes after 70K plus miles. Rotors and drums were turned once . I had 211,000 plus miles on it. This truck has always been serviced by the dealer at recommended intervals. To top it all off, the turbo is making noise again. I just hope they fix it under warranty so I can dump this unreliable piece of junk. Am shopping around for a diesel truck that is truly built tough, not in name only."

"I would not recommend the powerstroke motor to anyone. I bought my truck thinking I was getting the quality of the old 7.3. The 6.0 is nothing more than scrap metal as far as Im concerned. Mine has had 3 EGR replacements, oil cooler, oil pump, 9 injectors....yes the truck only has 8 of them...and a laundry list of other items to the tune of 20k in repairs from 60k miles to 125k and it needs thousands more now. I take good care of my trucks, all maintenance is completed on time and and as recommended. I drive mostly highway miles. This motor bares the name and now is destroying the reputation "Powerstroke" once held. I only drive diesel trucks and will NEVER buy another FORD."

"Just spent another $1K in repair of poor design that Ford won't own up to. That's $6K total in the last 2 years/55K miles. This is my second Super Duty so I guess the joke is on me ! Previously had 2 Dodge Rams/Cummins & didn't spend half that repair budget & drove them almost Half A Million Miles !!!! Maybe not as fancy but I'll take the Ram EVERY time."

"The F250s have a 5.4 liter triotn engine in it that likes to tick, and cause problems with lifters, cams, and valves. After 145 thousand miles, the engine blew. I had the oil changed every 6000 miles with synthetic oil, and the darn thing still blew. I bought a 2nd F250, and am having the same problem. I use these trucks for work, and are maintained on schedule, and am still having troubles. If you are looking for a long lasting work tuck, the F250 is not for you. My opinion is - you should run."

"This truck crosses barriers for me. My F15 KRanch was as close to a cadilac ride wise as I believe a truck can or should be. All of the 1 ton models I drove felt like a bobtail truck. The F250 give's the power of the 1 tons and comes very close to the comfort of a 1/2 ton. This makes my wife and I both happy. Thanks Ford"
