Used 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty Crew Cab Consumer Reviews
This is a great truck for towing an RV
Bought this truck to replace my older RAM 1500 HD MegaCab with Hemi. Nothing wrong with the Ram other than it has 180K and I did not want to take it on long trips with my 31' 9800lb Travel Trailer. I looked at the RAM 2500 and the Ford F250, both gas powered trucks and each had it pro's and cons. What landed me on the Ford was a slightly better fit and finish and the price of the Ford for a comparatively equipped RAM was lower! I have had the truck for 11 Months now and I have 21K miles on the odometer. Other than regular maintenance, I have not had any issues with the truck. NEVER needed to go back to the dealer for warranty work. On the highway at or slightly above posted highway speeds I average about 16MPG. Towing my travel trailer is averages 11-10MPG on flat terrain and about 8-9 in the mountains. I travel a lot in the mountains of NC and the truck has no issue pulling my trailer through the grades (Saluda grade for instance) generally settling in at 4th gear (6 speed trans) and 3400 RPM...my older RAM would be in 3rd gear and 4200. Braking is great and I always feel under control. Because of my older truck, I have a weight distribution hitch, but I really do not need it since the F250 has the capacity with out it. Interior is roomy, quite and even though I got the premium XLT package overall accompaniments are very nice. Two downside issues. Seats are hard and I actually have a seat cushion that I use for longer trips. The ride is stiff when the truck is empty. With the trailer on it rides great but not loaded the suspension is hard...If Ford worked on more comfortable seating and empty load ride characteristics, this would be a perfect truck! This truck is highly recommended!

Best new truck I have ever had. The roar the power of the 6.2L is more than enough for me. This truck can pull like a train.

STX F-250
I went with the STX instead of the XLT it was about 5k cheaper and still had plenty of options. The 6.2L engine was my choice I pull a 7k pound travel trailer and it’s plenty for my application. I love it it rides really nice for a very large truck. I drove a Dodge 2500 and I was not impressed with the ride and the interior was not as nice as the Ford. I know there is no review here for the STX but think of it as a fully loaded XL. I also have the sync 3 and the ultimate tow camera both incredible options for towing and long trips. It’s a great truck!

Death wobble at 12,000 miles
I bought my 2019 F250 new, and I experienced the death wobble at 12,000 miles. I was doing 60 miles per hour and went over a small bump in the freeway. The truck started shaking so violently I could not steer it. The truck shot across 2 lanes of traffic and went down into the grass median. Thank goodness there was nobody in those lanes. It did not stop shaking until I was almost stopped. The vehicle behind me pulled over to see if I was ok. He said the truck was shaking so bad that the right rear wheel was bouncing off the pavement into the air, and the truck was twisting like a pretzel between the bed and cab. The dealer fixed it under the warranty. They had to completely rebuild the front end. It would have been a $9000 bill if it had been out of warranty. The mechanic told me to get rid of it because there is no telling what parts in the diesel engine were loosened up or weakened by all that shaking. I'm lucky to have escaped the experience without wrecking the truck.

Good and dependable
Great, reliable truck. Long bed makes it easy to carry about anything. Xl base model came without power locks or power windows. I would get those options next time.
