Used 2000 Ford F-350 Super Duty Consumer Reviews
Awesome
I must say that this is by far the BEST vehicle I have ever owned. I have read the other reviews and it seems they got "friday trucks". Mine is absolutely awesome. 81000 miles and still as strong as ever. On a regular basis I haul 15 to 21 THOUSAND LBS. I have replaced Brake pads, the driver's lumbar assembly, tires and oil. I have meticulously maintained this vehicle and cant wait to get my new one in January. By the way, I am running a power chip,K&N airfilter and a Propane kit. My truck has DYNO'd at just under 400 HP and 750FT/LBS of torque. AWESOME is all I can say. Funny thing is I used to be die hard chevy and you could'nt GIVE me a ford.
My F-350 4WD CrewCab Dually LB
I love the size and towing capacity of this truck. It is a pleasure to drive very long distances, and the Powerstroke diesel engine runs and pulls flawlessly. I was unhappy with the number of warranty repair items that were required. Overall I am very pleased with the truck.
I'll never buy another.
Had trouble with truck since day one. First with an engine skip "clogged injector". First snowfall, found out 4 wheel drive didn't work. Shortly after 36k warranty expired electrical problems began, lots of $$$ to repair and still lots of problems. Leaky steering/brakes power assist unit. I called ford to ask for help with these problems, they told me that they were sorry but no vehicle is perfect.
Simply the Best!!
I said I'd never own a Ford product...but here I am, owning a Ford F350 dually with a powerstroke diesel to tow equipment and hay. This is the finest truck I've driven, and I've driven a lot of them. A Dodge 3500 with a Cummins diesel was nice, but it didn't have the power the Ford does. The quality of workmanship is much better on the Ford than the Dodge, nor did I care for the workmanship on the Chevrolet. Fuel mileage so far on the diesel is around 14 combined city/highway driving. I would expect around 10 mpg or so when towing around 8,000 lbs.
One tough truck
I tow 4500# and carry 3000# camper. I have the 6.8L V-10 with no problems. I have camped at over 11,000ft. Climbing rocky roads (rocks over 12in. diameter with camper in the bed. I pulled a 18,000# motorhome out of ditch this last winter in low-4, very easy. I carry camper and tow snowmobiles in the winter. I will buy a new one next spring with the new 6l PowerStroke. I did put in dynamat insulation in the cab so that road noise is kept to a minimum. I put in cat back exhaust and K&N filter system. I get approx 15mpg in town with these mods. Great truck!
