I brought this truck 2 years old with 30,000 miles on it. Since then I've put 170,000 miles on it without changing anything other than the battery. I haven't even been real good about the maintenance. Tranny fluid changed twice and the oil (only synthetic) every 5-8,000 miles, but I did have dual oil filters on it til the hose burst.

I have had this truck 8 years going on 9. It's been the best vehicle I've ever owned. It never quits. It has so much torque. I haven't found anything I couldn't pull. I plow snow with it and drive it daily. The guys at Ford knew something when they built this model and year. It's a consistent performer. I'm not even close to being bored with it. It continues to surprise me and excite me every time that I drive it.
nice truck

I recently purchased a '95. Its an XLT 4x4 with the 5.8 and a 5 speed. I am very pleased with this truck. It has good road manners, and shines offroad. This truck loves the mud and is at home on the trail. The manual locking hubs are a pain, though they are strong. Overall, this is a great truck. My only gripe is poor(13 mpg) gas mileage, but it's a truck. If I wanted good gas mileage I would have bought a Prius.
Good Work Truck

We purchased our '95 F250 a year or two ago and have been impressed with its performance, even under heavy stress. We normally tow a 16' trailer, and sometimes haul heavy loads like bricks or other building materials. The 460 engine always starts well and has lots of power and torque for being a fairly primitive engine design. Fuel economy is usually anywhere from 9 mpg city/12 mpg highway, depending on the load and wind conditions, so the fuel bill leaves somewhat to be desired! The only trouble it has given us is some rear brake problems, cheap interior plastic parts, and some issues with the clutch linkage. Otherwise, it's been a solid, reliable work truck.

I love my truck even though I've done a lot lot to it. Bought it at 121,000 miles; at 140,000 miles had to rebuild the engine - new Crane cam, pistions, pushrods, lifters, new alternator, new water pump but the alt and water pump lasted 125,000 miles. Factory original 2 sets of tires also put a k&n air filter Only use Rotella T 5-40 full synthetic and platnium plugs, premium wires premium every thing - also have a goose neck hitch and full range of 6 axle trailer brake and all lights, even rv hook ups pushing 270hp and 400 ft pds

I bought my truck w/113k miles and now
it has 165K. I have only put in a new
water pump, powersteering pump (which
was my fault for burning it up) and a
battery, and lots and lots of fuel.
this baby is thirsty.
I love my truck

I have a diesel .... two tanks - can't
beat that.
I've put 200,000 miles on it with no
problems. Only add diesel.
Huge Power & 21MPG!

The 7.3 Powerstroke Turbo Diesel is an
incredible workhorse. I commute 50+
miles a day and wanted the better
mileage of a diesel. I'm getting 21+
MPG driving 70mph with AC on full blast
most of the time. But this pleasing
mileage is not at the expense of power.
This truck will flat out move! The neck-
snapping power puts a big grin on my
face every single day I drive it. Ford
builds the toughest truck on the road
as well. The F250 is an extremely stout
vehicle yet comfortable to drive.
Seating, steering and braking are
outstanding, suspension is fairly stiff
but not back-breaking. Doors shut with
the slightest push. I would buy again
without hesitation.
A great truck

What a work horse. The truck will pull
a house. Very poor turning radius but
this is not a race car either. I love
the truck. A truck is there to work
not drive like a caddy. I recomend it
to everyone that needs a good work
truck.

I purchased this vehicle from a guy in
Alabama last year. This truck is an
awesome ride. I use it to pull a large
covered lawn trailer, and was pulling a
10x8 motocross trailer when I first
bought it. It pulls like crazy, and
will go through anything in the woods.
I have had it in 3 feet of water in a
swamp and you would've thought you were
on I-10. The only thing that I had a
problem with, was the front seal on the
tranny. Other than that the truck has
been 100% reliable.
Nothing short of perfect.

I use this truck for pulling 90% of the
time and it will pull anything. With
it's 351cc. and low end torque it's a
powerhouse!
