The truck has plenty of room.
We had just recently got the vehicle and the only complaint is that the sunroof can leak at times but we got that fixed. Also we purchased it at the Keller brothers which we 100% recommended. The truck is a diesel and is actually very good on gas. We wouldn't change it for the world.

No problem here tons of pulling power.
It is been super reliable I have kept up regular maintenance as well it will pull whatever I need what her it he a camper or a trailer... I have a property in the mountains and it pulls my trailer just fine up the canyon I can't say I have once single complaint... Zero not one.

Great vehicle. Will always own ford trucks.
Very comfortable vehicle. Pull a variety of trailers and has proved to be a reliable vehicle. The backup camera is a added plus in helping hitch the trailers. Would always recommend ford trucks. Wish I had purchased the diesel engine the gas motor has all the power I need but do not like the fuel mileage.

Powerful and luxurious at the same time.
It is the most comfortable vehicle I have ever had. Pulls my 6 horse trailer so well I sometimes forget it is back there. The majority of horse trainers have either the f250 or f350. It is rare that I see other makes in my industry. Ford is obviously doing something right.

Ford f-250 is one of the best trucks I have ever driven.
I have only owned my 2016 f250 for a short period of time but I know a lot about fords and have never had a bad experience with one. If you are looking for a reliable work vehicle, ford is for you. If you are looking for something luxurious, you may want to look elsewhere. They are a bit rough in the suspension but are good for tough jobs, like pulling trailers and doing ranch work.

Heavy duty truck review f -250 2016.
Truck overall is great, but goes through battles because of all the electronics, also the def system issue with the burn box causing check engine light. Hard on tires and have to be rotated regularly. Oil changes start at 79.99 and go up from there, an usually always are over 100.00.

I love it my truck and will drive a ford for love.
Bought the truck with 95000 miles on it. Had it since January of 2017. I am very pleased with it. Only had one major with it. One of the file pumps went out on it and had to have it replaced. I love diesels. And would never drive anything else other than a ford.
accountCircle Hannah M
Hauls well. Has a lot of room in the cab. A decent daily driver.
I use my ford f250 to haul a 12 horse trailer with 6 horses inside. The only thing it really needs to do that is airbags but otherwise it hauls well for only being a 250! It drives well too, easy to get around with and very spacious in the back seat.

Short lived reliability
So I have always had Ford vans for the reliability and high mileage potential. This F350 super crew with a long bed gave 3 years of impressive towing capability, nothing super heavy but within its rated capacity. After 4 years and 55,000 miles, the truck began to sound as if I was carrying ladders on a rack when driving down the road. The front axles had far too much play and needed axle seals redone. It helped a little but the sound only improved slightly, I think the rear axles may have the same issue. On the way in to work last week, I thought I had grenaded the turbo. As it turned out, only the plastic intake hose from the inter cooler blew apart and separated from the intake. Losing all boost I limped it to our repair shop and the part is on back order. Being a diesel shop, they’re attempting to find a suitable replacement hose. This was very unusual to see the issues developing after only 55k and regular maintenance. These super duty trucks are not built Ford tough like they used to be.

2016 ford f-250 lariat 6.7l.
My 2016 ford f-250 has been very reliable it is now at over 200k+ miles and as long as you keep up with the maintenance you will only have minor repair issues no major repairs have had to be performed up to this point would definitely recommend a ford super duty very reliable.
