2011 Ford F250 - Absolute Garbage

I bought my F250SD about 2.5 years ago. It has been in the shop 6 times for unscheduled maintenance, and each time it has NEVER been fixed the first time. So here is the run down: 1 - Hit unlock on the keyfob. The alarm goes off. I cannot shut the alarm off. Alarm blows out the horn. 2 days in the shop. 2 - Driving to work on a cold day, I activate the mirror heaters. The mirrors defrost, so I turn the heaters off. The alarm goes off. I again can not shut the alarm off without pulling over, shutting off the truck. 2 days in the shop. 3 - Gas milage goes way down. No power. Check engine light comes on. Dealer replaces the entire exhaust system and tells me that if this were not under warranty, it would have cost $1500. 4 - Exactly one week after incident 3, I get a check engine light and the exact same symptoms. I call Ford corporate and they send down an engineer. Turns out that I did not need a brand new exhaust and it was a bad sensor. 5 - When driving over 70 mph or lower if it is a windy day, the driver's side A Pillar grab bad hums intermittently. This is loud enough to drown out the radio. Dealer installs new cushions on a access panel. Driving away, the problem re-occurs. Needed the truck and not a rental, so I will deal with this later. 6 - Less than 1 month after episode 5. Same symptoms as 3 and 4 along with the buzz. Back at the dealer. We will see. I do have another truck. a 2000 GMC sierra with over 176,000 miles on it. (Gas motor) Not a lick of problems. My best advise for anyone considering a Ford: AVOID THE BLUE OVAL!!!! STICK WITH GMC or CHEVY!!!

Baytown Ford

I just bought the 2011 6.7 Diesel in this add and the experience was great. We drove nearly 4 hours to get to Baytown Ford but I would gladly return for another vehicle someday. This experience was MUCH Better then when we bought our new foreign car in Austin 6 months ago. The price on this 2011 4x4 6.7 diesel was real and they gave me a very fair deal for my trade. Even the Financing was very good. This Dealer is really good!

Found On Road Dead

As I sit stranded again waiting for a tow truck because my 2011 F250's computer has decided to shut the truck down (second time in a year), I have decided to write a review of this vehicle. I am a home builder and I drive an average of 200 miles a day. In spring of 2011, I decided to buy the ford mainly because of the interior, particularly the console which is like a mini office. It didn't take long to begin regretting my decision. Alert sensors began going off within the first month telling me to check coolant additive, the DEF, the fuel filter. The gas mileage was the worst of any diesel I ever owned. The truck had various other problems that required three stays at the dealership in the first six months I owned it. Last year the computer alerted that there was engine trouble. When the dealership looked at it, they determined it was not the engine but the unnecessary sensor itself that had a problem. This cost twelve hundred dollars to repair. I will say this, the truck pulls heavy loads very well and it performs well when accelerating on the highway. But I can't wait for the 2015 gmc HD to get here

Worst Truck I ever owned

I have a XLT 250 4x4 with a gas 6.2. I have less than 25K on it. I have had nothing but problems with this truck. Sometimes it makes a LOUD squeaking noise when turning either right or left at any speed. The dealer can not find the problem. They are probably waiting for the factory warranty to run out in 11/13. While cleaning the interior, the drivers side air vent just fell off. Nothing big but very annoying. I have own Chevy's for the last 20 years and my wife talked me into buying this junk. Might as well gave the 35K to charity.

Best truck on the market

Best truck I've driven. You feel like a King! Super strong and it still gets 22 mpg on the Hwy . It is luxurious inside and out. If your in the truck market you don't need to look any farther. If you are unsure with the size the f150 is for you.

Best Truck We have Owned

We have owned a lot of trucks, 2 Rams, a GMC and an earlier Ford. Ford has really hit it out of the park with this 3/4 ton diesel. We have gotten decent mileage, 17 combined consistently when not towing and 14 when towing our ski boat (6,000 lbs) or fully loaded and pulling our 2 quads for elk/deer hunting. We particularly enjoy the ride and have received a lot of compliments from friends riding with us. Love the electronic interface, voice-activation and navigation systems. Very user friendly. Unlike our last RAM, with the Ford you just speak and it will do about anything to control phone, entertainment or find your next destination. Just under 20,000 miles and completely satisfied with reliability and performance. A great truck we highly recommend.

What a truck!

2011 F-250 Lariat 6.7L 4x4 Crew Cab. Extremely comfortable and well thought out by Ford. Lots of power, but very quiet. 17.5mpg on the highway at 70mph, 16.2mpg running around town.

Love my truck

Been great so far, little problem with the heater by the dealer is taking care of that. Lots of power and the traction control is great , don't even have to lock it in when the roads are slick.
