Review
I own a S/D that only has 73000 miles and have had too replace / rebuild tranny twice now. Not super impressed with Ford's poor excuse of a trany behind the best motor Ford produced. I bought and use my truck for towing. If I could do it over again I would seriously consider a different brand.

Review
We bought the truck new in 2002. I wanted the 7.3 liter diesel with a six speed manual transmission, so we bought this truck before the 6.0 liter engines were introduced. The truck has been trouble free. It was recalled for the cam position sensor. I had the front rotors and brake pads replaced in 2009 because the OEM rotors warped. The new brakes are powerslot rotors with hawks pads, and they are great! The truck has 38K original miles, and is garage kept. I do not use the truck for a daily driver. It has been used to pull a 36 foot 5th wheel camper, and a enclosed race car trailer with a vintage car. We are planning on keeping the truck as long as it has servicable life left in it.

Really like this truck. Pulled 10k pounds of hay easily and now pull a toy hauler/front deck, so 1400# on the tongue. Put on a Reese Class V Titan hitch and air bags. No sweat. Mileage could be better, and my '86 F250 6.9, while a smoker, is much quieter and it has the dimmer switch on the floor where they belong. Wish Ford still made the 7.3. Not perfect but sure beats a Chev or Fiat Ram imho!

I have the V10, six speed off-road package. This is an excellent truck. The only problems I have experienced were a throw-out bearing and brakes. I bought it used and there is a gooseneck hitch already installed. Obviously someone had been using it for heavy hauling and to only have these problems is great. On numerous occassions, I've hauled gravel, dirt, and block, all with no problem! The ride is a little rough unloaded and I average 11.5 mpg, but you shouldn't buy a super-duty to go grocery shopping or to take your kids to soccer practice. Loaded, it rides like a Lincoln. This is one tough truck. If you mean business, buy a Ford Super-Duty!

Review
This truck, with a little money for upgrades can pull trailers with ease. Some or these trailers exceed 20,000 pounds and holds speeds up steep hills with ease. With an exhaust brake the down hills are safe and enjoyable. The only downside is the transmission will eventually fail to handle all the power from the engine. When doing extreme towing be prepared for a transmission upgrade. Once done this truck is a beast.

Outstanding durability! This truck pulls what ever I need, where ever I need it. I have owned Dodge, Chevy and Ford, and this is by far the best built truck I have ever owned.

Review
My truck has the 7.3 diesel that
averages 16 mpg. I drive it rather hard
and have had no porblems with it. The
auto trans shifts a bit hard, though
acceptably. Build quality is good, not
up to Lexus/Acura/Infinity standards
though. Without Cummins, Dodge wouldn't
sell a single HD truck. Cummins is an
awesome engine, but resides in a piece
of junk "truck". I don't even need to
speak about Chevy, all their trucks do
is look good in ads and showrooms. Ford
is the best HD truck around, just look
at tow trucks, construction sites and
ambulances...all Ford 1 ton vehicles!

Transmision not what it should be with
the 7.3 power stroke. No warning, just
smoked and the temp gauge did not show
any heat problem, was in normal
range .In shop in Cordele, Ga. Had to
leave travel trailer and will have to
travel back to pickup when repaired.
Rented rental vehicle to travel home
550 miles. Will be replacing at 118,000
miles. I had '95 and replaced
transmission at 210,00.

After own a 1995 F-350 the 2002 was a
complete surprise. They have improved
so many of its features espically the
ride and cab room it beats both the
Chevy's/GMC's and the Dodges without a
doubt.
