Great towing capacity!!

This truck has towed my 5th wheel 4 horse trailer all over the place. It’s been super reliable and never got stuck. It keeps great speed going uphill when towing a full trailer.

What a Lemon!

I bought this truck with 37,000 miles on it. Now, after 8 years and almost 70,000 miles on it I have encountered numerous expenses due to extremely poor durability. Every time I turn around I'm dumping money into this pig.You name it , manifold replacements, yes, more than one,) starter, brake lines, exhaust, two A/C replacements, Oil tube filler(original rusted and broke off), multiple cab switches broke, stereo cd player doesn't work, hands-free buttons don't work and on and on. I can't wait to get rid of it. The worst truck I EVER had! Yes, it's a looker but, that won't get the job done. Avoid this truck like the plague!

Can tow ANYTHING

My 2009 F250 has proven reliable over the years I have owned it. I can trust that it will tow anything I put behind it. If you’re looking for a nice looking truck that’s fast, reliable and powerful, this is your truck.

Same 6.4 failures yet consumer pays for it !

Factory issues with 6.4 with every truck but yet comsumer gets screwed and has to pay for the all the repairs needed . I need a new motor . I think at this point I will install a 12v cummins .Why would I put the same piece of xxxx motor back in truck . Makes no sense to put another motor that will fail . I will not pass it on to some other consumer as the dealer did to me .

Rode like a caddy.

I bought this truck to pull a fifth wheel. Did magnificently, diesel power and I hardly knew anything was behind me. The mirrors I love. The Back-up Camera not helpful in a fifth wheel situation. The truck setup High handled well pulling the 30 foot camper without a glitch. The comfortable the ride front and back, awesome for travelers. I added the spray in and the tonneau cover prior to install of my hitch.

Great truck

I currently own the super cab with long box with the 5.4 engine and it does every thing I want it to within a week of owning it I moved my in laws wood shop from Iowa to Michigan and the truck hauled it without a problem and hooking up was easy thanks to the backup camera that shows where the hitch was at.

Awesome ride! Has a lift kit.

I love the way it rides. It sits high and love that I have to step high to get into truck. It drives smoothly. Truck is for a woman also.

Too many problems

Truck had to many problems and the dealer would only do a cash sale, unfortunately it would cost me too much to have everything fixed.
