F%$k this xxx

Don't get a used one.. it was ok for about a year. Then everything breaks. Why is the instrument cluster the control module, intermittently fails, but if I get it very warm in the cab it works. Apparently a small fracture in the circuit. I had to get a new spindle that was non existent in part yard . ( I think I have the only 2wd on earth). Basically it took 2 months to find. And ship it fromai e to Tennessee. Had to get on a waiting list..soon as that is fixed it drove around the block fine, parked and then dead as xxxx.ill hurry it up, but every part is super expensive, hard to find, or real hard to work on. Never in 45 yes paid a mechanic and might have to.. it's ridiculously overly complicated.. like fixing a nuclear submarine.. I wish I had 2 more hands so I can give it 4 thumbs down

Thing is a power horse.

I honestly love this truck. Yeah it has its problems but as long as you know what you’re doing you can fix stuff yourself for a lot less than what a mechanic will charge you.

Best old truck I've ever had

This truck runs like a champ, 210,000 miles I've had it 6 months. its way faster than I ever expected. Very exciting engine. I have 6.0 diesel, I wouldn't trade it for anything but double what I paid.

Awesome truck! It's one of my favorites!

PLENTY OF LEGROOM. Ford has always been good with their legroom. I currently own a F-350, And I wouldn't trade it for the world. The truck I test drove was nothing but peak performance.

Very Reliable, good for hauling.

This car met all my needs and I’m Sure it will do the same for you. Good for towing too. One of the best cars I’ve owned

The 6.0 Diesel gets a bad rap. I still own my 06!

Purchased this new in 06 and she has been great! I still own her 12+ years later. Very little rust and yes, she spent 10 winters in NASTY snow covered Vermont. What ever they placed on the roads there eats vehicles. There have been reports of vehicles going down the road and disappearing!
