Used 2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty Consumer Reviews
Much better than my old Z 71
After replacing the transmission 3 times, I bought this F 350. Move over Z71. When I pull my camper, there is no stopping me, execpt when I want to. Every thing is easy to use and easy to reach. I get 33 percent better fuel mileage than with my Z71 and I have a lot more room for my family. Long trips are very easy for us now. I have owned chevy's for 25 yrs, I will stick with my Ford.
The Best Dam Truck Bar None
This is the best truck I've owned or operated. The large mirrors and the extensive glass makes the visibility in this truck wonderful. The XLT/Lariat trim and deisel are well worth the money. Either trim ungrade improves comfort on long trips. The deisel power is super. I can cruise at 75mph and truck will not lose 2mph pulling a 5500 lb trailer up hills. In the ballooning business, the Ford out number the other brands 2:1. The truck has been in the shop twice in 2 3/4 yrs and was fixed the same day. That's pretty good for a Ford. The A/C lacks in city traffic on 100+ deg days. Maneuvering a 25 ft vechicle in and out of parking lots can be challenging.

Got Power!
I have had my powerstroke for 1 year and I can say that I have loved every miniute of it. The mpg is a little bad. I average 10 to 12. For a diesel that is a little low, but the power is real. No problem getting up and going even with a load on. I can keep up too. Added an air lift to improve the load handling, works great, makes it softer like a Chevy. Watch out for the bolts in the turbo. They wiggle out. Replace or check after every 50k miles, change oil, and keep up on maintance and you shouldn't have a problem keeping it out of the shop except for the minor things. K&N filter, edge, bigger exaust, and cool air intake. They make a big difference.
ford you can do better
the f 350 simple cab is a very strong work truck comparetivly considering its got leafs front and back fuel consuption is high with the diesel considering other truck are better like the new gmc duramax and a lot quieter. the standard seat sucks big time when your are plowing snow your back feels like you just did 18 rounds with mike tyson the dash looks like a lego set.come on ford you can do a lot better
unreliable pig
My truck came incorectly equiped from the factory. After 18 months, Ford still continues to refuse to install the missing option OR give me a refund for the missing item! Truck is used to transport five children to/from school in rural Montana. Truck has been used in snow and dirt. Rear brakes unable to withstand resulting in failure of $450 rear rotor. Cam sensor failed leaving me stalled on the road in sub zero temps in the middle of nowhere. Two injectors failed. Did I mention it gets 8.5 MPG? All this in the first 36K miles! I found the vehicle unreliable and expensive to operate. Found Ford customer service to be terrible.
