That I have not done anything but routine maintenance on it since I bought it.
It runs great. It can pull anything out of anything in 4 wheel drive. It can take me almost anywhere. It is a workhorse.
accountCircle Brian S
I can haul a lot and it is diesel I really like that. And it has lots of room
I would really like to get the battery light to stay off . Instead of coming on and off all the time .

The power and roominess of my beast.
I don't any issues with this beast of a truck. It is rather large but easy to handle. Comfortable to ride in, with a lot of legroom front and back. My passengers don't even bump elbows. I am a country girl so I love my trucks. It has the power to pull whatever it needs to. Go mudding and just flip the 4x4 switch and you're ready to play. Take it through the carwash and your ready to drive it to church. Love my truck.

Crew cab long box ford f350 dually 6.0 diesel
I initially had to spend a lot of money on the vehicle which I knew from market research before the purchase. After the initial purchase and work was done I would now trust to take this truck anywhere in the country on a whim.

Beautiful interior and exterior. Diesel engine purrs like a cat.
The problems I have had are normal wear and tear on my truck... Sensors, alternator, brakes, etc. Mine is 6.0 diesel that still runs great. Engine has 245,000 miles. The body and interior are tip top shape. The seats are saddle leather and hold up really well. The room is expensive. Lots of leg and arm room.

2004 Ford F-250 6.0 lariat
I'm in love with my super duty, it's got plenty of torque and power to do anything I've ever needed it to. It's been super reliable. Other than regular maintenance, and preventative actions to the motor the trucks been amazing. I couldn't be more happy.
accountCircle Chris B
It's an awesome, sturdy truck that will treat you well if you do the same to it
I love the look of it and the way it handles unsafe driving conditions. I wish it had better gas efficiency and didn't need maintenance as often.

Ford 6.0 Diesel aka the 6.UhOh
Ford 6.0 Diesel has nothing but problems and should have been fully recalled. FICM, HPOP, Turbo, and EGR cooler all fail.
accountCircle Bronwyn B
Good truck for the first 10 years of its life. After that, just trade it in.
Good truck overall; but due to Northern Rust worm, crappy brake system and ridiculously feeble tailgate, we need to replace our sooner than later.
accountCircle Alyssa L
It is great for pulling heavy loads and easy to have the turbo upgraded.
It is a roomy vehicle. The backseat has plenty of room. It was upgraded when we bought it. It had an aftermarket turbo added to it for easier pulling. We have had nothing but issues out of the turbo. The air bag sensor has also went out, which is very annoying due to the 7 beeps every few minutes. There really haven't been any major issues with the truck as far as issues from the factory.
accountCircle J F
Its heavy duty and can haul heavy loads. It also uses a lot of diesel fuel.
Older vehicle and parts are starting to fail on it. Other than that, it's been very reliable and an efficient work truck.
accountCircle Jacob S
Gas mileage is horrible. The towing capacity is great.
I like the towing capabilities of the truck. I like the styling of the truck. I dislike the miles per gallon.
accountCircle Sarah F
Its mine and no one can touch it without my permission.
The truck does not get good mileage there for we spend a lot of money in gas for it. The drive side window does not roll down. It is nice for hauling things.
accountCircle Robert C
It's paid off and still looks good.
It's been a good means of transportation. It's payed off . No major dents or problems.
accountCircle Leslie S
Super Duty Compartment Truck
Runs well and I haven't had any trouble out of it so far. There are 6 lockable compartments on the back of the truck and a bench, leather front seat. The only bad thing is it doesn't handle bumpy roads well.

Still love my truck after 14 years
We bought this truck in 2007 with under 30K miles on it. 14 years later she's still going strong. No major issues, just routine maintenance. The gas mileage is terrible, but then that's not really the point of buying a Super Duty. If I had one complaint it would be that she is a battery drainer. I've put in 5 batteries over the past 14 years. But that being the only problem is pretty great for such a massive vehicle. The ride is very comfortable and I love that it doesn't feel top heavy when going around corners (no lean). Overall, love this truck!
