luv my truck

Over the past 30+ years, I have purchased ~8 different 3/4 ton trucks, mostly diesel fords. The 2017 F250 Platinum has not disappointed, no engine issues and tows like a champ. My only complaint would be the seats are small and the comfort is terrible. You don't really notice it until you drive 5 or 6 hours and you have to stop because your butt and legs are killing you. This was not true with older models where driving across country was a breeze. Ford is not alone in downsizing the seating, even the airlines have done it.

It is a real beauty

This truck meet all the wants and needs we wanted in our vehicle. The only thing is I wish they still made the beds smaller like the 2012 have. Otherwise, it is amazing. Good get up and go and smooth ride.

Horrible experience, probably because of Lithia

It'd be great if it ran...and the dealer hadn't lied about it's origins...like it had been in a flood...and if it didn't take months just to get a part like a sensor. Other than all that...might be good. Wouldn't know. Dealer still has it even though I'm making the payments!

Built Ford Tough

2017 F-250 XLT 6.2L, 4x4, LB, 33K mi, Truck is just what I expected - XLT package offers some upgrades w/o breaking the bank. Basic interior and cloth seats. Purchased to tow 12K LB 5th wheel camper and it does a great job. The long bed came with a 48 gallon gas tank, so less fill-ups. MPG varies 11-12 city and 14 hwy - around 9 MPG towing loaded camper. Upgraded from an F-150, so ride is stiffer but she's a true workhorse. Great looking truck - added Ranch Hand bumpers for camping excursions. Recently had issues with ABS - front wheel sensor had to be replaced. Otherwise still on original tires, a few oil changes and air filters. I think she'd do better with the new 10 speed transmission for hauling and MPG but maybe later.

17 F250 bought used.... heres my issues

First off I'm a ford truck lover. I put 324k miles on my e99 f350 dually. I have 50k on my 2017 plat. 4x4. The sunroof has issues as others I've been seeing. My AC has stopped blowing cold (still diagnosing) no check engine light. Intermittent check due to the Exhaust gas recirculation CA smog. Love the interior and the towing camera 360 system...love it! The 6.7... wow!!! No comparison to the e99 7.3 I had power wise and towing. Theres been problems with both trucks. Overall once you fix fords issues that are widely shared across the board, you'll have one solid truck. Excited to really get more into this truck towing RV across the country!

Cozy, friendly and great location!

This truck will meet all our needs as a farm vehicle that can transport feed and hay, and a truck that will plow out our driveway.

3rd F-250 I’ve owned. Love it!

Great vehicle for towing & just driving, very comfortable. Dependable and reliable. This is the 3rd F-250 I’ve owned. Would definitely buy another when the time comes.
