Is the Ford F-250 a good truck?

My dream truck is the more modern Ford F-250 Super Duty Lariat. Would you recommend on owning and driving one for many years or decades?

It's as good as any vehicle made by Ford…

If you can afford the gas that guzzler drinks.

Oh, it can handle it. But if you're not going to take advantage of its extra capacity the F-150 is big enough and (slightly) easier to park.

We get 22 mpg with our 1992 Cummins D250. What'll your Ford get?

The F-250 is an icon. That's all you need to know.

WHY? Do you actually NEED a heavy truck that will only get 12-14 miles per gallon of gasoline just to haul your stupid but to school and back? A small Toyota or Nissan can do the same job for a lot less money!

Yes it's a good truck. People have put several hundred thousand miles on those trucks towing boats, rv's etc no problem. Generally diesel will be more reliable but the 6.2l gas is a decent engine and has received good reviews for towing power.

One engine to avoid is the 6.0l diesel, it had a lot of issues early on.

Hi sadly these old icons have lost that once prestige appeal now as they lasted too long in the past.

12 mpg. It is a good truck if you can afford the fuel.
