"This truck is not for small people. I'm 6' tall and from the driver's seat, I can barely see over my shoulder because the head rests are in the way. This makes pulling out of a driveway backwards on a busy street pretty difficult. My version has manual windows and door locks. Again, being 6', I have to completely lean over the front seats just to unlock the passenger door. I cannot access the crew cab door locks without climbing across the seats. Unlocking/locking the doors would be impossible for most people who are short. Besides the inaccesibility, the truck is comfortable, drives well and has plenty of power. The controls are easy to use and the fact that the crew version holds six is really nice. At night, the bed light comes on when the doors are open, which makes unloading much easier. If you plan on any mudding or off roading, I strongly recommend the 4x4 version. Mine is 2x4 and was not able to make it up a small hill (20' tall, maybe 10% grade) when it was muddy. I have driven an Explorer on this same road in muddy conditions in 2WD and it does fine. All in all, this truck is great for hauling things, is comfortable, and really only needs a few major additions. 1. STANDARD Power door locks and windows 2. Lower head rests"

"My Ford F250 is the best truck I have ever driven. My brother in law borowed it and he calls it a Ferrari. Lost of power and very good handling. I have two minor complains. When the truck shifts from lst to second and second to third it is a bit gerky. The other gears are smooth. Ford technicians tell me it's normal. The seat belts are awkward to find when you want to buckle up. The rest of the truck is marvelous."

"bought a new 2012 f250weeks ago. But now very dissapointed. The new seat design for the 2012 cuts off circulation to legs, they have eliminated the forward tilt adjustment to the seat, not allowing the seats to tip on the front edge, only pivots from the rear. my leg and toes go numb. I actually want to sell or return the vehicle. Ford does not offer a solution and states thats their design. Ive driven ford trucks for the past 15 years and currently reverted back to driving my old truck. f150. Ive compared seats with other previous 250s and 150s and they clearly eliminated adjustments. on the new f250s. Peripheral circulation is cut off dont buy this truck because of the seat design being so poor. Other people have driven the truck and without mentioning it to them the noticed the same poor design...Any answers or suggestions?"

"You may hear yourself saying, "what was that?" after you drive over top of a Dodge truck in this behemoth. The F250 Super Duty is a beast...and that's exactly what I was looking for. I can haul it, tow it, out run it, off road it, and even take it out on the town. This beast is also a beauty...everyone loves my truck; especially me."

"I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR ABOUT A MONTH. THE TRUCK PERFORMES VERY WELL. IT RIDES NICE , IT LOOKS GOOD AND IS JUST A GREAT TRUCK TO OWN. I HAVE OWNED OTHER 4X4s AND I CAN SAY THIS ONES THE BEST. IF I COULD CHANGE ONE THING IT WOULD BE TO MAKE IT EAISER TO SHIFT FROM 4X4low TO 4X4 HIGH."

"I just got back from pulling my 28 ft 5th wheel from central California to Oregon ,what a joy this truck was. It was almost like the 5th wheel wasn't there behind me and before that I pulled my 5th wheel over Sonora Pass hwy 108 in California. If you have ever been over this stretch of hwy that has 17% to 26 % grades at 10,000 ft of elevation you would understand how impressive this truck is......This is one bad truck ! Plus I got great fuel economy to boot ! 2012 F-250 Lariat extended/cab 4x4 diesel 8ft bed"

"after 40+ years of buying various vehicles from chevy suburbans 4x4's to ford wagons, volvos and vw's, this 2012 F-250 lariat crew cab/4x4 diesel is by far one of the best vehicles i have ever owned. Fit and finish are supurb and the ride is great--very quiet ( a ton of sound dampening material) and not squeak or rattle one. It has 400hp, tons of torque and good fuel milage (21-22hwy & 18city) & and 17mpg pulling a 6000lb trailer at 65mph hwy speed all for a truck weighing 350lbs shy of 8000lbs."

"Great pulling power, smooth, great ride. Excellent fuel mileage 21 hwy, 16.5 city. The only downside are the emissions systems, they are EPA mandated and if anything in the system malfunctions or you run out of DEF fluid the truck will go into limp (restricted to 50mph) mode and eventually idle only. Leave it to the government to take a fantastic truck and ruin it!"

"So far a great truck. Without a doubt the best I have owned! 6.7 Liter provides ample power and over the road MPG is 20 to 21. In town is around 18 MPG. Seats and dash comfortable and "operator friendly". I have already put 3000 plus miles on this truck with no incidents. Very pleased! Expensive but well worth it!"
