Used 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty Consumer Reviews
It's 3 YR / 36,000, not 36,001 or 36,002!
This weekend I heard some grinding noise on the front of my 2013 F350 DRW KR. Took to Brighton Ford on Monday and first thing out of their mouth when looking at the mangled rotor was that brakes are considered a wear item. Guess I've been riding the right front brake pedal a bit hard lately! Diagnosed as a frozen caliper I'm told they "might" be able to get me some assistance, I told them I'd pay nothing. The vehicle is in it's 30th month and has 37,500 miles on it. If 1,500 miles is what it takes to split us when I've purchased 8 new vehicles from them since 1999 I guess we're done. Tried getting with Crystal from Diesel Stop Forum and she referred my case to Jessica Johnson, Regional Customer Service Manager. Jessica says she'll get back to me after the holidays (6th), until then I guess I should hitchhike, walk, bike or something else...but not drive my $65K pickup. Jessica did make it clear that Ford doesn't pick up the tab, they may offer some assistance. Don't need it thank you. I've been a loyal Ford owner from my first car on, with one Audi snuck in, but I can assure you I won't sign papers in another Ford dealership again. This is a simple issue with a known problem that many others have had and they're gonna stick it in my ear over 1,500 miles. Good luck Ford! Case: CAS-8489426-G6Q2G1

2014 Ford F350 XL SRW 4x4 6.2L Reg. Cab w/ 4.30s
The truck has been good and reliable. The only thing I don't like about my truck is it's brakes. The truck has had a soft brake pedal since new, and the brakes under perform. I even took the truck back to the dealer, under warranty, to try to make the brake feel and perform better. Also, the emergency brake never worked good since new, as well, even with proper adjustments. Lastly, even though my truck was sold as a flex fuel vehicle, E-85 gas will mess-up the O2 sensors to the point to where my truck won't start. Needless to say, I no longer use E-85 in my truck.

F-350 Nightmare
Bought brand new F-350 diesel, "Dooley" double cab long bed 4x4 Platinum. Nearly every option available. Truly top of the line. After 6 mo./6400 miles, started operating at reduced capacity and Ford advised me to get it off of the road. That is where it has been since. The dealership could not repair because no available parts. FMC assigned case manager and even case supervisor. But neither would ever contact me, let alone find a solution. Finally sold off the carcass at a great loss. Do yourself a favor. Steer away from FMC at all costs. If you choose to do business with this company, you do so at your own risk, and you are truly on your own.
Worn out after 11 years
I got this truck new and has been a daily work vehicle and used to tow heavy loads with gooseneck. The towing power is poor and the transmission does not hold back any on steep slopes. It is not ideal for towing. It has had a significant shake at 45 mph since new that never went away. Had to replace the computer and not sure how many times the exhaust manifold needed repair. Front axles just went out at 140000. It is so rough to drive I have significant back pain at the end of the week. It was ok when new but is now completely worn out. Busted a brake line the other day and when they jacked it up they noticed all the cross members under the frame have rusted out. It has seen hard use but I have done all scheduled maintenance, it is just done after 11 years.

Switched to Ford
I have driven 4 different GM vehicles since 1997. Last vehicle was a 2007 GMC Sierra HD SLT iwth a duramax engine. All these vehicles. have been reliable and I have had few issues. I finally bit the bullet and bought a F350 King Ranch with diesel due to numerous features FORD offers. I am pleased with the ride, driving amenities and the fuel mileage. It is very comfortable to sit in and is easier to manouerve in spite of being a longer vehicle. The engine is definitely quieter and smoother. Very pleased with the switch
