Amazing but almost broken down truck.
Check engine lights on, barely make enough money for my bills and rent and truck is very expressive to fix might end up not being able to fix it at all.

Best truck I've ever owned. I'm amazed at the towing capabilities with the ouch button "Tow/haul feature which allows the Allison transmission and the 6.0 diesel to work in conjunction with the conditions. Great feature.
The F350 super duty is one incredible truck. We live full time in our 5th wheel. We move around about every 2 weeks and this truck has no problem with towing. We've taken the RV up and down many steep roadway and this truck has no problem towing around 24000 lbs.. It is very reliable, no breakdowns With no mechanical issues.

It is bigger than yours so do not try to push us.
Love the diesel engine and gas mileage. Love the spacious cab. Love the factory lift. Dislike the cost to fill the tank.

She's massive. But gets the work done. We never have to worry if our truck will be able to haul hay or the cattle trailer.
It's huge. So it's hard to park. Otherwise, I love how roomy it is in the cabin. The Diesel works fantastic and we can haul our cattle.

Great diesel truck with plenty of room!
Haven't had any problems from this truck, it is really a great diesel truck. Plenty of room for four people and does great pulling a camper. Plenty of room in the bed of the truck for picking up all those items you need from home depot from home improvement to gardening items.

6.0 has a lot of issues in 2006 model, earlier models like 2004 and before and 2010 and above don't share the same issues.
It has 6.0 turbo Diesel and it's caused me over 10,000 in repairs in the passed year..
accountCircle Tom B
The truck is very powerful I pull trailers all the time
6.0 diesel engine has had nothing but mechanical problems ford won't do a thing about it. 2006 F-250 is the worst truck they ever built it's also starting to rot around the wheel wells

Issues to watch out for in a Ford truck.
Not the best truck to have. It has a habit of blowing it is oil cooler fairly early and is quite loud with it is turbo. It can work if it is all you can get but I would suggest getting a Ford truck made before 2003. Engine works better and lasts almost forever.
accountCircle Matthew S
It is safe and useful and can fit the whole family and some friends.
It is can tow most anything. The motor is not the most reliable. It seats the whole family. It is good for going into the woods.
accountCircle Darcy S
Good gas mileage for this size vehicle.
I like that the inside has a lot of room we've had to do a lot of work on the motor, and I am sure we'll have more.

FORD IS A GREAT DEPENDABLE BRAND. THE SUPERDUTY IS A GREAT TRUCK
MY FORD IS SUPER RELIABLE AND IT TOWS GREAT. IT HAS NO PROBLEMS. THE TRUCK IS USED TO TOW A CAMPER AND A BOAT.

2006 f 250 four wheel drive extended cab.
It's got a 5. 4 v8 about 12 miles to the gallon. I wish it had more power and better mileage but it does the job. The exhaust manifolds are a pain to do when they leak and they will leak. It is not the smoothest riding vehicle but its a truck so it's to be expected. It's fairly confinable on long rides good leg room. Power seats windows doors automatic transmission 4x4. It tows nice and can take the weight just fine.
