2011 Ford F-250 consumer reviews

This truck is very nice and capable, but just guzzles far too much diesel fuel. I hardly get over 11mpg even when being very gentle with it. This truck seriously needs to incorporate fuel saving technologies, start-stop, cylinder de-activation, aerodynamic features, and even hybrid systems.

I bought this vehicle last spring and it has had a constant tap in the engine and each time I take it back to the shop they say it will go away. The last time they tried to sell me extended warranty! They need to fix this truck!!!! Do not buy this truck---

I've owned my F250 Super Duty for about 6 months now. It's equipped with the 6.2 L gas engine, 6 spd auto tranny, 4x4, and extended cab with 8' bed. At first I was a bit put off by the changes inside the cab. The controls are not as simple and straight forward as they were on my 2005, but I've gotten used to most of them. I still really miss the storage bin in front of my right knee that the '05 had, though. I'm very happy with the performance boost the 6.2L has over the 5.4L V-8 in my 2005. The ride and handling have also improved. The only time I noticed iffy handling was when I had an uneven load in back where the weight was shifted to one side of the bed, but I hauled pallets of seed to the field without issues. Gas mileage hasn't been anything to brag about, but then this is a big work truck, and the laws of physics haven't been repealed! I can get around 14 mpg on highway trips, but my dashboard display seems to settle around 10 MPG average over time. I really like the gear selection display on the dash. It's really nice to be able to glance down and see what gear the truck is running in at the moment. It's interesting that the 2011 trucks start themselves! You just flick the key to the start position, and then you can release it and start fastening your seat belt while the truck starts. Also, the truck seems to change it's responsiveness to how you're driving it. A moderate press of the accelerator seems to give much quicker acceleration if I'm in a hurry and driving rather aggressively as opposed to times when I'm running at a more leisurely pace. (I'm pretty sure it's not just my imagination!) Overall, I'm happy I bought the truck.

I have over 11,000 miles on this truck, many while towing a 10,000 pound fifth wheel. Truck averages about 20mpg at 70 mph on the interstate, 17-18 mph around town, and with fifth wheel in tow I usually try to stay at 60-65 mph and get about 12 mpg. I am very happy with the tow capacity of the diesel truck even with the 3.31 rear end. The truck pulls great and usually in 6th gear even up grades. Love the sync and sat radio with traffic updates on the route. Helped avoid some potential stop and go driving on my recent trip. Truck drives well and has had no issues to date. So fare I have added 8 gallons of DEF for the 11,000 miles, a small price to pay for better fuel economy, power and the environment. All in all this is a very good choice in the truck market.

Hands down the best truck I have owned. Amazing pulling power, awesome transmisson and very comfortable. I have 5000 miles on it and have zero complaints so far. I Pulled a 40' fifthwheel with it, total weight of 24,400 lbs. It pulled great, very little shifting, averaged 9mpg. My last truck was the 6.0 powerstroke, the new truck is a 100% improvment!

The turck is extremely powerful with plenty of extra features. The interior is awesome and the 6.7 is by far the most responsive diesel i have ever owned.

It's a far cry from my 2007. Love the new 6.7 Powerstroke. Luxury and power are outstanding. Tows just like I knew it would.

I used to have a 2006 5.4L V8. Now I got a new XLT Crew Cab with the 6.2L "Boss" V8. The power is a whole lot better than the 5.4L and so is the fuel economy. I have the 6 3/4 bed also. I get anywhere from 14 to 16 mpg in city driving and around 20 mpg on the highway. With my 5.4L I got about 12 city and 16 highway. This truck is a great upgrade from the 5.4L! The rear has AWESOME space for when I need to carry my family or when me and my buddys are working. If you fold the rear seats up, you could LITERALLY sleep on the floor back there!!!! I am not a big fan of the SYNC though and it's something that I don't even use. But I am enjoying the Sirius Satellite Radio. :D No breaking out, the same station for a cross-country trip! I'm looking forward to November when I get to drive the truck to Ohio for a hunting trip. Also, the tailgate step comes in handy too. I could hop in the bed but not everybody can, perhaps your elderly folks or the shorter people. The price on the vehicle was OK but not great. I got 4.9% financing for 60 months at a sale price of $42,345. I reccommend this truck for all heavy-duty buyers in the market.

I really like this truck. It out performs my last diesel truck handsdown. It makes very little noise and you don't have to shut it down everytime you go thru a drive-thru window. I've had so many comments from people who say they are going to look at one soon. Hope it stays this way. My last diesel was a nightmare.
