I wish I didnt have to sell it

I have had my F-250 for 6 years, and never had a major mechanical issue (189k miles) . I love this truck, it is the most comfortable and dependable vehicle i have had so far, 3 cross country trips and still going strong. Maintenance is expensive as with all big trucks, and dont plan on working on it yourself unless your a legit mechanic, because its a pain.

Most reliable heavy duty I have owned

This was a great truck, regardless of what you will read. I owned this truck and drove it until 165k miles. Never gave me an issue. Biggest regret was selling this truck for a Dodge. As long as you maintain it and "delete" it you'll be good.

Powerful towing, poor gas mileage

Strong engine for towing. Comfortable interior. The ride is a bit stiff. Does everything I need it to do!

Great truck for towing camper

So far super happy with truck other than having issues with fuel gauge not working all the time. Apparently the diesel 6.0 power stroke is a ticking time bomb if not maintained religiously.

Great truck

I bought my Ford F250 in used condition, but have been very happy with it. It exceeds my expectations of the Ford brand.

SuperDuty Diesel 6.0

I bought this to pull my boat because my van with a gasoline engine got poor fuel milage and had problems in a grade. This diesel does not know the boat is behind it. Plenty of power even when going uphill and much better fuel mileage. I spent a lot of money to Bullet Proof, as they say, and put the finest Michelin tires on it for fuel mileage and ease of highway driving. They are smooth and quiet at any speed, these Michelins will go easy 90,000 miles and now have about 10K on them. I bought a house on a lake to settle down in my old age and no longer need this truck to pull my boat. It is defect free and I am selling it at a price below any I can find. Also my screen is misspelled but too late to change or correct.

Fords Disappointment

I bought this truck as my first diesel to haul my 30 ft. trailer. My 5.4 triton strained a little much. It's a F250 superduty crewcab. First I live in the snow belt, and this thing has no weight in the rear it just sits and spins basically without giving any fuel. After buying it used with 93000 miles on it I was driving it home and one injector broke in half, and another went out. I Put weight in the back so I could start to get some traction, and I drive only highway a u joint went out two weeks later. The transmission shifts so that if you are on a somewhat slippery surface you will more than likely break traction,(the severity depends), on the slipperiness. I took it in it's shifting correctly. As for the ride I live in Michigan where they do constant road construction, and not a single road gets fixed, but the ditches look pretty. In other words up here it rides like a tank.
