Dangerous Defect

I have only 3,000 miles on my truck and have had unintended acceleration four times. One of the four occured when the dealer tech was servicing. No engine lights or indicators to warn of computer listed errors. Motor revs from idle to 3,000 rpm without warning.

Very nice to drive, very comfortable on long-distance treks. Great stereo, great performance from the motor. I have owned many trucks; this one has a real "truck" feel to it, (which is why I bought it), but is much more comfortable than any I have had before it.

Pleasure to drive

I upgraded to from a '04 2wd F-250 to my '05 4wd. What a difference in ride and turning radius night and day. The 6.0 International Powerstroke is a pleasure to drive. I can get 21 highway and 16 city. I seldom go anywhere that someone doesn't comment on what a good looking truck it is. I do not really haul anything or use it as a work truck, inside job, except for normal homeowner or occasional fire wood work but I have always wanted a 4wd diesel 4 door truck and this one will satisfy that desire for a long time.

My F 250 King Ranch Truck

I found this vehicle excellent on the highway, comfort and acceleration is very good. I also found the truck to handle very nicely in town. Parking in a lot is a little difficult, but to be expected for a big truck. I have heard that Ford has a problem with this engine but this was not my experience. I am somewhat skeptical of buying another one because of the "lemon" factor. BUT mine has been very good. I have driven the new 2007 King Ranch version like mine, very little difference.

Almost bought a 2004 F 250 in May. Waited for the 2005 due to the changes that were to be made. I had ordered my truck at the end of July. A week before my truck arrived at the dealership, I had test drove one to see how I would like it. The 2005 model is in a class of it's own. Like Day and Night from any former F-250 model before. The new front suspension is much better than before. The truck turns much tighter and rides much smoother than earlier models. I was amazed at the 6 liter diesel as to how much power and snap it had compared to a 7.3 liter diesel I had in my 1999 Ford F-250. If you test a 2004 and a 2005, you will notice the improvements to the
