Used 2014 Ford F-250 Super Duty Consumer Reviews
Powerful 6.7 diesel but rides like a train!
I hope I can write a review to help somebody out as I am a fan of reading reviews. I’ve owned my share of heavy-duty trucks And this one by far has the best drive train. This powestroke is quite impressive, great pulling power, great acceleration and is quiet. The transmission holds gear and shifts very smooth. On the flipside this has got to be one of the poorest riding heavy duty trucks I’ve owned since the 90s . If you’re on a smooth road its fine but if you’re on a bumpy Michigan Road where I live it’s nauseating. A long ride can make you feel beat up. It Rides a little better when hauling or towing but still not good. Fuel economy is not great. if I’m on highway only and not towing I can get 15 mpg which I believe it should be better since my old excursion 7.3 could get 17 with a lousy four-speed transmission 15 years ago . My truck is a 6.7 diesel super cab 8ft bed with xl package and 4 x 4. Cloth seats are comfortable enough for cheap seats and I like the rubber floor. The radio sounds good but the LED burned out as well as the FM/a.m. button quit working. I tow over 12,000 pounds regularly and it does it’s job. Overall it’s not a bad truck but my next truck I’ll probably go back to either dodge or Chevy. Honestly the only reason I Purchased a ford was because in the used market it was way cheaper than its competitors .

2011 F250 (6.7 diesel) Tow Control
Overall the truck seems fantastic. Comfortable, powerful, quiet, and functional. Glad to have it. A couple of concerns. Went from a 1999 Crew SWB to this 2011 Super Cab LWB. Was counting on using all the space behind the drivers seat, but was surprised to find the woofer for the stereo under the back drivers side seat. Second issue is that the truck has been unable to move coming out of uphill parking lots, under heavy load (large horse trailer). Seems to be a tow control issue. Have to put the truck in park, shutdown, turn back on to get moving. Ford is looking into the issue, as it is easy to duplicate. It is stuck in 3rd according to Ford during this failure state.

Front Seat Problems
Anyone having trouble with the middle seat? It doesn't go back but sits almost straight up. Though it folds down and becomes a central console with a place for cups, when it's up, it only has one position, and that's almost straight up. Who could sit like that? I would like to remove it or be able to tilt it back. It's called a 40/20/40 seat.
Great Power Stroke!

Not Tough Enough
I ours he'd this track and know I have found out that I can not put a snow plow on this truck? it's not strong enough that what Ford says. i have plowed snow in SE VA for 20 years now and do it with 2WD 3/4ton pick ups all the time. I purchased what I thought was a heavy duty truck that could do work not just go get a 6pack. I have tried to contact Ford and it's a joke. I Manage a fleet of 45 trucks and vans. I will not be purchasing any more fords.
