MY DREAM TRUCK

Unless you work in construction or own a horse farm, this is excessive to say the least.

IDK ================== GAS HOGGER

A little too big for my purposes. An F-150? Now we're talking.

love a good truck

Smelly, noisy, oversized...really who needs one in the city unless you have a horse ranch lol.

What a great vehicle for out in the country. I don't know how practical it would be in a city.

Another vehicle that is absolutely great if you need a heavy duty truck, but that many people drive for no good reason.

Just to have one no, they are bulky gas hogs. However this is a popular truck with people who show horses because you can get a comfortable classy interior and have plenty of power for hauling. And though most Fords are not reliable, their pick ups do pretty well.

Hmm... bad mileage, Ford quality *snickers*, yeah... I'll pass.

I see way too many of these things clogging up the roads in San Francisco. Maybe they're handy in the country, but these things are so outrageously large that they usually end up clogging up intersections or taking two parking spots in the city.

7.3L is the best, the new 6.0 isnt woth a shit for the engine. looks great when lifted. But all my buddies have problems with them

99 F-350 diesel with 190000k on it and it still runs and looks great. I have had the high pressure oil pump o-rings replaced twice but I do tow a large living quarters horse trailer with this truck. Replaced the water pump at 95k, other than that this truck has been awesome. No doubt this truck will go 200k plus with no major repairs. our 2002 450 has had rear end issues since 18k, 5 times in the shop still not fixed. At 90k at feel that it is ready to implode! Other than that it has been solid. I'll still buy Ford.

after the factory recall on injectors this has been a great truck with hard use.

allmen who like truck welcome to the band,am all for this truck.

I have a 2000 F350 7.3L diesel crew cab with SRW. The truck is a dream, wonderful to drive and was the love of my life. However, for a vehicle to meet my standards it should not have mechanical problems early in its life nor often. I did not tow any trailers and only hauled a 3000lbs cabover camper for a total of about 2000 miles when my torque converter failed and took out the transmission and the transmission cooler as well. There were only about 45000 miles on the vehicle. The manual recommends you change tranmission fluid every 40000 miles, so my tranny barely lasted one transmission fluid change. Obviously this is faulty design or parts. Since I did not spend an extra $2000 - $4000 to purchase on extended warranty, I had to pay the $5000 it cost to repair all the damage. The mistake I made was having Ford do the repair (or install the new tranny) because the pump failed in less than a year so I had to have them fix this (while I was stranded with the P.O.S. out of state no less). I've had problems with sensors, turbos, water fuel separators, etc. Since my truck has less the 100,000 miles on it, but I purchased it over 6 years ago, I get shafted every time something happens and have to pay big money for its repair. It is funny how I can have a major repair done on it and within 18 miles have another failure of a different, supposedly unrelated item and have to pay for an additional big repair.
*** I will never own a Ford again.***
Since buying this piece of junk, I have seen that Consumer Reports states that Fords have on average around 70 problems per 100 vehicles by the 5 year checkup. This is 11th on the listed vehicle manufacturers. I guess that wouldn't be too bad if Ford would step up to the plate and pay for their faulty designs and parts instead of shafting the customer with it.

what a piece of crap! Tranney out at 60000mi ,repair 3000.00, thenthe rearend blew.Air cond. went out,Idler pulley repaced at 32000mi and then again at 50000mi.Front suspension always loosening up.Leather went to crap even though cond. religously every 3 months and on and on. Finally traded it off at 65000mi.Needless to say i could understand why the trucks value had dropped like a rock.And i babied this truck it never saw 4wheel drive and had all services done when sched and most done before required. To bad i was always a loyal ford guy bu not anymore

2002 Diesel Dually 4x4 crew cab. 30K miles on it with nary a problem. Smooth running and comfortable.

7.3 power stroke diesel. 1997 f-350 is a nice truck, But runs through the gears strangely but strong. Can anyone give advise on this?

With the powerstroke or the new 6.0 diesel it has to be the best truck ever built

Awsome truck. nice and big too. Although, i dont like the mirors on them.

My parents are stranded in NC on their way to TX to visit us. Their new F-350 6.0 L truck just broke down *again* last week. At 800 miles it broke down with the oil in the gas problem and they waited for a week to get the truck fixed. Now at 2500 miles, it started the not running at stoplight problem and eventually stopped working again and is once again at the shop. It *again* has the oil in the gas problem! The Dealer doesn't know how to fix the problem and says Ford doesn't either. They have spoken to some customer rep on a hotline and that has been no help. The Tech rep for the region cannot be reached. The dealer believes all the injectors need to be replaced and after reviewing various technician reports on the internet I agree. However, FORD won't let them! Its one at a time and so what if the customer is inconvenienced.

Ford sucks! I don't Know why they even produce them anymore.If you want to be a Man Get a Chevy!!!

grandfather owns a 94 F-350 daulie, and that truck has been throu hell and still runs great. It's a beast.

doesnt matter which f-*** you drive the newer models a/c just plain sucks get a life and get the ROCK !!!!

Beast of all Beasts... I would have to say its great! Massive truck..

Looks good but rides horrible and not as nice interior as chevy. In 2001 chevy will also have higher payload and more powerful gas and diesel engines.
