Review

I brought this truck 2 years old with 30,000 miles on it. Since then I've put 170,000 miles on it without changing anything other than the battery. I haven't even been real good about the maintenance. Tranny fluid changed twice and the oil (only synthetic) every 5-8,000 miles, but I did have dual oil filters on it til the hose burst.

Best Features

Turn the key and it starts every time.

Worst Features

Gas mileage is poor, gets worse with age.

Review

We purchased our '95 F250 a year or two ago and have been impressed with its performance, even under heavy stress. We normally tow a 16' trailer, and sometimes haul heavy loads like bricks or other building materials. The 460 engine always starts well and has lots of power and torque for being a fairly primitive engine design. Fuel economy is usually anywhere from 9 mpg city/12 mpg highway, depending on the load and wind conditions, so the fuel bill leaves somewhat to be desired! The only trouble it has given us is some rear brake problems, cheap interior plastic parts, and some issues with the clutch linkage. Otherwise, it's been a solid, reliable work truck.

Best Features

Big engine, plenty of ground clearance, nice strong springs, axles and suspension parts. We've actually overloaded it several times and it's handled it well. ;)

Worst Features

Better fuel economy, redesign clutch linkage for more reliability, thicken up the plastic interior parts, improve metallurgy for less rust.

I bought my truck w/113k miles and now
it has 165K. I have only put in a new
water pump, powersteering pump (which
was my fault for burning it up) and a
battery, and lots and lots of fuel.
this baby is thirsty.

I have a diesel .... two tanks - can't
beat that.

I've put 200,000 miles on it with no
problems. Only add diesel.

Review

The 7.3 Powerstroke Turbo Diesel is an
incredible workhorse. I commute 50+
miles a day and wanted the better
mileage of a diesel. I'm getting 21+
MPG driving 70mph with AC on full blast
most of the time. But this pleasing
mileage is not at the expense of power.
This truck will flat out move! The neck-
snapping power puts a big grin on my
face every single day I drive it. Ford
builds the toughest truck on the road
as well. The F250 is an extremely stout
vehicle yet comfortable to drive.
Seating, steering and braking are
outstanding, suspension is fairly stiff
but not back-breaking. Doors shut with
the slightest push. I would buy again
without hesitation.

Best Features

Powerstroke! Why get a gasoline engine that will get half the mileage and have half the power?

Worst Features

The factory dual-mass flywheel fails early and often, is horrifically expensive ($1,200 for parts alone), and requires two men and a boy to push the clutch pedal to the floor.
