Ford f-250 lariat, a spacious, comfortable ride.
Top notch ford quality with great to I. Towing capacity. We've had it for a little bit over six months and haven't had an issue. There is plenty of room in the cabin to keep your whole family comfortable. It is very quiet on long journeys and had fairly decent gas mileage.

Great power, a little bit expensive to maintain. But overall a great truck.
Had two recalls. Heated seat on drivers side went out. They haven't been able to repair it. Performance is outstanding. Went to Galveston TX with a 35 foot fifth wheel and it pulled like a champ. Be aware that oil changes and fuel filter replacements are expensive. The ride it gives you do not realize that your in a 3/4 ton vehicle. It is very smooth.

Luxury vehicle many features.
It has heated/cooling leather seats, if your brights are on it automatically adjust if a car is coming, it has a 360 backup car that definitely comes in handy when you park because the truck is super long. It also has added features such as massaging chairs and the ability to change the lighting color in your car. It is Bluetooth compatible and it warns you if you are unable to switch lanes.

Great truck has preformed beyond expectations!
It’s impressive size and looks! Needed to jump 2 tire sizes because the wheel wells looked empty with the standard tire sizes! Gas mileage lacking even with the lighter aluminum body compared to my 2014 F250 steel body! Plus the aluminum body does get dings more readily than the steel body no matter what was advertised!

New f250 6.7l powerstroke.
No problems so far, enjoying my truck everyday I turn the engine over. The 6.7l has enough power to handle my everyday tasks without fault. The interior is spacious and uptodate on current technology placing you in a comfortable cab while driving. Go out and buy you one!

Fantastic truck for ranch or city.
This truck has been extremely reliable. It handles great on both highway and rough ranch roads. The king ranch package makes the long drives a little less taxing because the seats are so comfortable. Surprisingly, the miles per gallon is actually quite good on this three quarter ton truck, even when hauling large trailers or boats. The only issue we have ever had with our truck is that the computer/sensors sometimes throws codes that are not accurate. For example, if you change altitudes from mountain to flat country, the tire sensors will show a low tire pressure.

Negative Owner Reviews

Purchased new and planning to trade soon.
There have been multiple recalls on the vehicle, has had the radio replaced once, water collects in the back passenger door due to faulty seal. Tailgate opens randomly (claimed to be repaired) have personally experienced the (death shake) in front end.
accountCircle Melissa C
Blue, extended, 4x4 super duty with high clearance.
Great for a work truck. Has a well performing towing capacity. Also has high clearance for hard to get at places. Has been overall a reliable vehicle. Have had to have a core replaced. A good amount of extra room in the back for seating or storage. Front seating in fairly comfortable for trips of any distance. Uneconomical fuel wise. Has a nice hands free set up options for communicating purposes. Overall is a tough truck with some good features.

Great running vehicle, love it.
My truck is very reliable. It has run very well since I owed it (for the last 7 months) haven't had any problems. There is however a glitch that when you start traveling the tire pressure reads wrong for a short period of time and prompts a message but after you hit ok on your steering wheel it reads correctly.
accountCircle Justin A on April 17, 2021
Heated and cooled seats along with heated steering wheel.
Great vehicle rides and drives perfect, the comfort is outstanding. Heated and cooled seats sunroof opens all the way. Tons of power will tow anything. Extended pickup bed for hauling whatever you need also gets 21 mpg on the highway. Navigation and sound system incredible.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Sklyor W.

The pros of driving a ford f250 are as followed. I really enjoy how spacious the entire truck is. The bed is long enough for hauling large items and the backseat has plenty of legroom. As for the interior and exterior, the truck has a clean look to it and the brand lives up to their name. The leather seats are nice quality and the accent of fake wood is nice as well.

likeFilled Jessica O.

This truck is very safe. It is reliable, has a large truck bed to haul/move things, great in snow, 4WD, can pull/tow, extra big interior. The price is great for a truck like this. Though this is more of a work vehicle for my husband, I consider it a good family car as well because of the room in the cabin as well as the height and weight of the truck makes us feel safer in it than the other cars we own.

likeFilled Megan M.

The look of the truck is amazing. The bluetooth works great. The seats are incredibly comfortable. The memory settings changes the steering wheel, seat and pedals. The tailgate is a push button, no grip. The options to set each front seat driver for comfort is fantastic.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Sklyor W.

The cons of the ford f250 are not really drastic. I would like to see better sound systems in the lariat and a heated steering wheel. I think it would also be nice to see new colors added to the trucks in 2021 and maybe a lift already on the truck.

dislikeFilled Jessica O.

There is not much that we've had issues with. The one main gripe we have is that the computer system on the truck is starting to malfunction and it is only three years old and therefore should not be happening. However, the truck is still covered under warranty so some stuff we do not have to pay for.

dislikeFilled Megan M.

The seat heaters went out after only a few uses. The traction control light on the dash keeps kicking on. I wish that the memory setting would change the mirror and the seat belt as the seat belt is hard to change due to the location and the seat.

Is The 2017 Ford Super Duty F-250 A Good Car?

We have loved this vehicle. Its is large interior room, sporty exterior and powerful towing capacity.
Terri R.
Sort of. It pulls our trailer well. It has a great backseat. Tons of legroom.. If it wasn't for the 'death wobble' I would say absolutely.

Yes! It tows great. We bought it to pull our 25' travel trailer and it works like a dream. We have 4 wheel drive which I highly recommend. We have used it when in the pasture or off road. Our only... Read More

How Reliable Is The 2017 Ford Super Duty F-250?

Our truck has been in the shop 4 different times to fix the 'death wobble' this is a known problem and should be a recalled repair.
Terri R.
It is reliable except for the 'death wobble' that ford is aware of and tries to either deny blame it on ridiculous things. It has been a problem for gears.
Jacqueline R.
It has been very reliable except for the famous 'death wobble'. It was an easy fix at the dealer. The replacement had to do with the trac bar. Otherwise we have just had to have general maintenance... Read More

Is The 2017 Ford Super Duty F-250 A Good Value?

Ours cost around $54,000 new. It is very nice with nice finishes and great towing capacity but that is still a lot to pay for a vehicle.
Terri R.
$50,000. Except for the death wobble, yes it is a good value. It contains just the right features for the money.
Jacqueline R.
We paid right around $50,000 for ours. I guess it is a fairly good value taking into consideration the cost of other vehicles. In the same class. We priced Chevrolet, but all they had on the lot... Read More
