Used 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty Consumer Reviews
Superduty disappointment
Purchased a 2011 F-250 with the new 6.2V8, and 3.73 gears (has a 5th wheel towing capacity of 12,000 lbs). Truck was awesome until I pinned onto my 5th wheel! The vehicle is way underpowered to handle a 10,000 lb trailer. It would shift constantly between 5th and 2nd speed to maintain highway speeds (40 to 55 mph) reaching 5000 rpm at times. Dealer tried the truck himself, and could not believe the lack of torque & HP. He was most helpful by taking the truck back, and ordering a new one with the 4.30 gears. I am hoping it will pull, but am afraid it will be thirsty!
It"s Pretty Good, But
It's a diesel with 6600 miles already on it and I think its a pretty good truck. Mileage isn't quite as good as I thought it would be, about 14 in town and 18 on the highway. It's 4wd with the 3.55 rear-end, wish it had the 3.31, mileage would be better. It came with the Ultimate Lariat package which makes it the nicest truck I've ever driven. There is a bit of an issue with the key/remote, it seems to work when it wants to. Took it on a trip Houston to Dayton, OH and back and it drove great. At 5500 I had to add some DEF, found it a a truck stop, 2.5 gallon container with a spout for about $15.00. There was some towing in the first 5500 miles.

Wow!
It's really early in the game to call this thing a success yet, but wow! This truck has incredible power, interior is better than any out there. My biggest concern was powertrain reliability and fuel economy. The latter is showing around 19 on the highway, city driving around 16. I'll have to wait to see how she holds up. So far, awesome!
Great truck!!
Just bought the King Ranch f250 a couple days ago, and it's an incredible truck. I haven't had the chance to tow with it yet, but every element is great so far. My truck was fully loaded at an msrp of $65k, and I don't regret a single penny of it. The ride quality is great, and the vehicle rides very smooth, even when it's unloaded. My fiance is able to drive it easily and loves the interior features. I'm looking forward to hooking up a trailer and taking it on a road trip to the lake.
Quiet power
Nearly 1000 mi so far with no issues. Great mileage > 20 mpg. Tows nicely a 10K 5th wheel. Everyone notices how quiet it is with no smell. Bed is better with tie downs and built in hitch to frame. Older 1997 had fold down back seat to flat floor, this model has poor room in the super cab since seats do not fold down-thank the Feds for that. Outside is nice enough and the suspension and drive feel are more car-like than truck. Towing with new exhaust brake is excellent and as long as you don't push it up hills, it is great on mpg. Only neg is $$$$$ for what you get, needs splash guards. The new display screen is nice with instant mpg, miles to empty etc. Dodge is less exp. for similar.
