Great truck

Great power pulls anything I need it to. Is a blast to drive. Great for family camping trips. And the AC in it is wonderful for on those hot days.

Love it

I love this truck but we just had our 5th kid and we need the money more than the truck. I will miss it though.

This Truck Will Be Buried With Me!!!

Truck has by far bypassed my needs. Last of the great diesel engines ever put out, outlawed due to "carbon emissions," and they changed bodies. I only have 179,000 miles on it, we've kept up maintenance on it through the years, and I still use it reliably and comfortingly hauling horses to shows in a LQ horse trailer!! Other exhibitors literally try to buy it out from underneath me and GIVE me their much newer and MUCH NICER trucks for the simple fact this truck pulls like a DREAM!! Like I stated above, this truck will be melted down and buried with me when I'm cremated and buried with my "heart" horse in her grave in our back yard!!! And I'm nowhere near close to dying yet!!! ROFL!!!!!

F250 with 7.3L

this is one of most reliable, durable and least expensive Diesel pickup to own. well maybe until you see the price of the new pickups, that cost as much as some small homes. I have owned this pickup 9 years, and put approx 175K miles on the 7.3L . i purchased is with 102K miles on it. pulling a 3400lb cabover and a bass boat behind it, it does exactly what is needs to without complaining.

Super reliable, has character

I love it. It's been a super reliable vehicle for years. Besides grounding issues, nothing will take this thing down.

Very Nice Truck

I just this truck a few years ago for fishing/camping, deer and elk hunting. It has performed beyond my expectations. Everything on it says high quality. Very strong, dependable and reliable. I'd definitely get another Ford F250 if something happened to this one. Heaven forbid!
