I have owned this truck for 11 years and have done very little other than scheduled maintenance. I have hauled trailers up mountains, gone 4 wheeling over very large boulders, driven very long stretches with no problems what- so-ever. I have 198,000 miles on the odometer and have been amazed by the continued reliability of this truck. Ford has my business for life!

This truck does everything well. What's amazing today, 13 years later, is its reliability and it drives new. "Built Ford Tough" is true. This isnt a commercial, just 13 years of ownership. I bet the truck has 13 more years left. Has 120K now and should do 250k. After 1200 miles, always used Mobil1. Replaced shocks and tires normal interval. Oxygen sensor replaced once and just changed the plugs at 120K and engine sounds new and runs out perfect.
good truck

This has been the best pickup truck that I have ever owned. It has done the work of ten trucks.

We bought this truck from a drilling company after it had 155,000 miles on it. Its a tank. The drilling company obviously did not take it easy on it and we have had minimal problems with it. The head gasket blew on it and some minor brake issues. With the 7.5L 460 and a 5 spd it has alot of power. The fuel milage is not the best because of the large v8. The truck is very solid and reliable. Suspension is very strong for hauling and towing. Lots of power and braking control with large trailers.

Bought at 62k, now at 97k. Strongest pickup I have ever owned. Trailer pulling dream. Only has the 4.6 and still pulls like a mule. 100% dependable. Moving into a Super Duty, but sure going to miss this truck.

No major problems (yet). Mine has the small v8 with tow package so it is slow going up hills with a trailer. At 100k miles transmission is starting to have rough shifts when cold. Haven't done much towing or city driving and it has a cooler as part of the tow package. Original Goodyear tires lasted 92k miles! Still on original disk brake pads at 108k miles. Best truck I have owned.

I've enjoyed this truck. It's a work
truck. I've had 4 brake jobs - too
often in my opinion. Other than that
it's been flawless and always ready to
go. Very comfortable, even on 8 hour
drives.

Great truck. I've had a lot of trucks
in my business, many Fords.
My experience has always been a big
truck with a little engine and lots of
gears. Poor power to weight and
constant shifting.
The Navistar DIT diesel is definetly
the way to go with a truck. When the
turbo spools up, there's no catching
it. It'll pull a house off the
foundation and gets good mileage (for a
truck) as well. There are plenty of
chatrooms for Q & A on this setup if
you have a problem, and the guys will
give you lots of responses to keep it
going.

I've had a little trouble with the
capacitor on the diesel. However, Ford
has a 3rd generation capacitor that is
now reliable. I added a leaf all around
to raise the truck, rather than using a
lift kit.Happy with the results. This
truck is extremely reliable and will do
anything and get me anywhere. Put 265
tires on it right away.
Plastic trim on the inside of the XLT
is fragile Rear seat is ok, although
we've had teenagers sit in the back
across the country twice.
If you get a diesel, get the manual
transmission. You get the great
advantage of using engine compression
off-road and in poor road conditions.
This is one tough truck.

This truck is a 3/4 ton ford f-250
light duty. It has a peppy engine good
it's size. This same engine (5.4l) is
not any good for the full size f-250.
This truck has no prblem doing most any
job u dish out.

After driving this truck for snow
plowing, pulling a 30 foot boat, and as
a daily driver I have come to one
conclusion, that this truck can perform
at anytime you want. This is a great
truck for doing anything.
