Buyer Beware
I’ve had the know Death Wobble since 30,000 miles and after several visits to the dealer, it still happens. $50,000 and we are scared to drive it.

Buyer be aware
I've been a f250 owner for the past 15 years, owned 5 of them. I currently have 2017 that has the famous death wobble. The truck has been to Ford of Clermont dealership 3 different times for a total of 8 days. They replaced the steering linkage/damper twice with no success to fixing the problem. The leadership at the dealership has taken no accountability to provide to solution. I reported the issue with a case number to corporate, surprise no follow up from and no solutions. My current status of the truck is very dangerous to drive. Ford is being sued in a class action lawsuit for selling these super duty trucks fully knowing they're having this wide spread problem. I'm in the process of shopping the competition, but my brand loyalty is changing after after so many years. My only hope is enough unhappy owners will spread the word and avoid the problems I'm experiencing with Ford Motor Company.

Owned them all and you know why Ford is king!
Let us be clear on two things: 1) I have owned every manufacturers truck, save the imports, so I can speak to Fords' edge from a point of real world experience. 2) These are trucks! They do not drive like cars, have fuel economy like cars and cost is HUGE! Mine is the 6.7 Powerstroke, no option to select that above and I have logged less than 500 miles so far, so reliability is based on my previous experience with 7.3, 6.0, 6.4 diesels and the chassis they were in. Once you get out of your Chevy and sit in a Ford, the reason they have been on top for all these years is apparent. Ford does trucks like no one else period. The interior is well thought out, the controls easy to use, once you get around all the technology, and the build quality exceptional. The materials are top notch and the fitment is great. At this price point, sticker of $73K, one expects that and should settle for nothing less. It has more gadgets, some useful some not, then the latest phone loaded with Apps. Equipped with the FX4 package the ride is firm and you will know when you hit a pothole, but for a 3/4 ton pick-up I am amazed at how smooth it is. The latest generation of the 6.7 is responsive and extremely quiet. Real world MPG without towing combined are in the high 17's, just two mpg off my gas powered 1/2 ton Silverado! That is impressive for a truck this large. People who complain about fuel economy need to get a reality check. I remember the days of a straight six in a F-100 averaging 13 on a good day cruising the highway. If there is one definitive about driving it, my wife thought it was easier to drive then the Silverado or the Ram! For someone who drives a mid-size SUV which could just about ride in the bed, that says allot. Update after a year and half: Well, I have been driving it for a year and half now, taking it on vacation pulling our fifth wheel and still cannot find anything to really complain about. The towing ability is fantastic and the fuel economy is still in the 18’s driving around town; towing is different matter but considering we fought headwinds whole pulling 33’ of fifth wheel I guess I cannot complain. The only issue it has had was with the sunroof sticking which the dealer repaired. I stand by the statement made in my initial review; Ford is king when it comes to these trucks for overall build quality and performance.

They keep making them better and better
Before I buy new 3/4 ton - many since 1974, I always test drive a Ford, Chevy, GMC and Dodge to see which one is best for ride, hauling, appearance inside and out, mpg information, noise level and overall feel. The Ford F250 or F350 has always been my 1st choice. Dodges rust out far o fast. Chevy always come in a close 2nd mainly because of small appearance issues for me. I pull a boat and a 30' camper from Spring thru November. The Ford F250 Lariat 6.2, 4x4, 430 rear end, super cab continues to be my best choice. Lots of complements. Yes the diesel would pull me up the mountains faster and give me a little better fuel mileage, but in my opinion the diesel is not worth the extra cost to get to the top of the hill first. Ride comfort and handling is great and continues to improve over the years. My only problems over the many years of ownership of many F250's, is the Quick Service personal occasionally do not do exactly what they have been paid to do. All the vehicles seem to have a few recalls, so this has not been a problem for me. The aluminum body is nice and no rust where I have chipped the paint a few times. I would and will buy another new F250 or F350 in the future.
Snow blind
I have the plow package with an 8 ft fisher plow straight blade , however when I operate the plow the heater will shut off the radio will shut off and the hands free phone will not work. I cannot run the defrost and get heat on my feet at the same time the fan won't come on . This is the V 8 gas job. Very frustrating and the dealership keeps telling me they're working on it , I bought it december 2016. Be aware
