Used 2014 Ford F-250 Super Duty Consumer Reviews
The Cadillac truck
The F-250 extra cab long bed is not your ordinary family run around every day kind of ride. That's only because the mpg would deter most families. But if you need to haul, go camping, tow something or just feel safe, this is the truck. The ride and handling is superb. The tech stuff i.e. Bluetooth, phone syn & nav works well to enhance the overall enjoyment of this Cadillac truck.

6.2 f250 4k miles
I took a 1k trip last weekend empty. Set the cruise on 75 and got 15.5 which I'm thinking is a good start since not everything is flat here. On the way back I ran 80+ mph and got into the 13mpg range but can't expect much at that speed. When pulling my 15,000, 4 slide 5th wheel I use the manual shift option and that eliminates any up and down shifting unless I want to and I'm able to maintain a nice power range keeping the tach in the 2200 - 2800 area or wherever I need it. Very satisfied so far. Had a 2005 6.o before.

2011 F-250 Lariat CrewCab Long bed
I have 6,000 miles on this truck and have had to replace the turbo, oil cooler and fuel pump. It has a vibration in the engine around 40mph that Ford has been trying to fix for 6 months. This is the best looking truck on the market, the worst reliability and I would never own another one. The regen mode for the emissions is a pain in the neck and the biggest fuel burner. Once going into the Regen mode my mileage drops from 14 mpg to 11mpg in town. Ford is very little help when problems occur.

2011 Ford 250 Supercab First to go was the windshield. A month old the windshield just shattered while parked overnight. I live in a very rural area so it wasn't vandalism. Second was the chrome peeling off the running boards. Third is the lock on the "cable add on" needed replacement. Fourth was the peeling of the Ford logo on the tailgate. Fifth was the paper thin rear bumper that dents as if it was paper thin. Sixth was the frozen front brake caliper at 30,000 miles. This required caliper replacement, turning the rotors, and replacing all brake pads. It happened after 36 months so Ford refused to cover it. Cost $800+. Dealer was kind enough to refund cost of the caliper. Then I was told I needed a $100 annual brake cleaning and lubing service to prevent this from happening again. Seventh is the malfunction of the passenger side rear view mirror. It stopped folding in automatically when the switch was pressed. Replacement cost of $1738. Eighth, with only 31,287 miles on it, the rear tire pressure sensor malfunctioned and had to be replaced. Cost $149. Last is rust. Everything under the car was rusty after the truck was a few weeks old. It requires constant undercoating and maintenance with somewhat costly Eastwood rust encapsulator. Ford Corporate Customer Service always treated me as though I was the enemy. I had to argue for almost every concession or coverage. By contrast, the dealer was always helpful and worked with me to resolve issues. I've owned Toyota 4Runners and Camrys most of my adult life and never experienced anything as poorly made as my Ford. The only reason I didn't buy a Tundra was because they didn't offer the Supercab configuration with a full 8' bed. Think twice about buying or leasing that Ford. Update 10/18 at 40,000 miles. Brakes started to chatter while coming to a stop. Ford dealership said I need new rotors on all wheels and pads need to be shaved or replaced. This is after 2 annual brake services since new caliper and cutting rotors 10,000 milers earlier. Cost estimate $984.00. Bought higher quality after market slotted rotors and pads and having them installed locally for $756.00 including new pads which were not in the Ford estimate.

2011 Update
Well it's now been 6 months with my new diesel and it's been great! The only thing I took the truck in for was an update to flash the truck to 400 hp, 800 ft. lb of torque. This new diesel has been a major success so far, don't believe some of the negative reviews as they are probably being submitted by competitors. Ford seems to really be on top of this diesel and wants feedback from its customers.
