"i bought my 2006 ford 250 crew cab new. i drove it for 35,000 mi with no trouble. then i started to experince a problem trying to fill the gas tank, it kept shuting the pump off. on my next oil change i asked the service manager to check it out, he came back with a letter from ford stating that if you drive this truck on dirt roads it will clog up the fuel valve and charcole cannister. they will replace these parts for a mere grand, needless to say i was very unhappy about this. i called ford and they claim it is not there problem i should not drive on dirt roads. i live on a county road. i would not recommed this truck and will do everything to let people know what a dissappoint ford is in handling this problem which i feel is one of ford not so good ideas."

"The 6.0 powerstroke is actually a reliable truck. How many of those that leave a bad review beat the truck, stack chip on chip to the truck, change the oil at 7K plus miles???? No matter what ford, chevy or dodge is going to have issues if you treat it like that. The truck will last but be smart and take care of it. For fuel economy the truck ways more than a honda civic ITS NOT GOING TO GET 30 mpg the trucks way 7,000lbs and more depending on truck. Would buy another one tomorrow hands down..."

"We have had this truck since new. It is a tough workhorse and also classy and comfortable. The negative reviews here must be people trying to put others off these trucks. We have had ours for 4 years without ONE single issue. It rides beautiful and we love love love that diesel engine. SO powerful and the gas mileage is fantastic. Seems to go forever on one tank of gas. If you can get your hands on one with low miles you'll have a great truck."

"We purchased this rig just a year ago and have had nothing but issues, thousands of dollars worth of issues. Check engine light has burned a hole in the dash! Its left my family and I stranded for the last time, We will not sink any more money in a vehicle that has cost this much. The ford dealer wont even take it back on trade! I was told that i was stuck with the truck and they wouldnt be able to sell it on thier lot. They would have to send it to auction. Then they wanted to sell me the extended warranty! Really?"

"I've had my 2006 F250 Diesel for a nice easy 85,000 miles now and no problems. I'm getting 13.3 city and 17.5 hwy, but it's worth it because it tows my toys, it's comfortable front and back, and it has 6 cupholders! Diesel oil changes are $90, but you only have to do it every 7,500 miles on the diesel version. Only real downside it that it's loud and you have to shut it off at drive throughs!"

"These V8's blow water past the heads because of a design flaw. High mileage engines are more prone to the problem, so I thought I would review this particular vehicle due to mileage about 15000 over competitive trucks for sale in the resale market"

"I tow a 5 ton dump trailer, sometimes with a Bobcat in it and other times loaded down with dirt or gravel. I forget that it is behind me. The trailer brake system is outstanding. This is a powerful work vehicle that I would recommend to anyone."
