This truck is a 3/4 ton ford f-250 light duty. It has a peppy engine good it's size. This same engine (5.4l) is not any good for the full size f-250. This truck has no prblem doing most any job u dish out.

No major problems (yet). Mine has the small v8 with tow package so it is slow going up hills with a trailer. At 100k miles transmission is starting to have rough shifts when cold. Haven't done much towing or city driving and it has a cooler as part of the tow package. Original Goodyear tires lasted 92k miles! Still on original disk brake pads at 108k miles. Best truck I have owned.

I have owned this truck for 26 years and every time I drive her, I fall in love even more. From the fin windows( why did those ever go away?) to the throaty roar of the 7.3 diesel there is nothing I don’t love. It’s comfortable to drive, powerful enough to pull a 4 horse head to head trailer, has the extended cab w/ an 8’ bed and people are always asking me if I want to sell her. The answer is always no!

Bought at 62k, now at 97k. Strongest pickup I have ever owned. Trailer pulling dream. Only has the 4.6 and still pulls like a mule. 100% dependable. Moving into a Super Duty, but sure going to miss this truck.
