After nearly 14 years, this F250 Superduty with 182,000 miles is running as smoothly as the day I picked it up. Hard to believe? Of course it is; but it's true. It's why I've enjoyed this truck more than any other vehicle I've ever owned. The powertrain has held up like a tank. The V10 makes this 4+ ton vehicle move like a sports car. Not a peep of trouble from the transmission. The exhaust system was replaced just once in all that time, at ~100K miles. Brakes last forever, or 60K miles, which ever comes first. A truly built Ford tough truck! I am still impressed. Been from Detroit to Denver and Sault Ste. Marie to Santa Fe, and it's been a pleasure to drive. Whether it's pulling the scout trailer through the Rockies, or the open plains of Oklahoma it's been a smooth and comfortable ride. The back seat of this crew cab is like a living room, spacious and comfortable. We have a tendency to treat vehicles we like as personal companions. When the day comes, I'm going to miss this one.

This particular model is well desired for its powerhouse Diesel 7.3L V8 engine and its overall design as a truck, weather 250 or 350 DRW.

Starts and runs in below zero temps without a block heater, reliable, great power and very comfortable to take long trips. Even kids in car seats can see out of the windows and towing 10k does not phase the power or ride.

This is a great truck with an incredible powertrain. She is getting older and longer in the tooth. But, she still runs great. It will be a sad day when I finally replace her with something a little more economical for the family.

Accelaration, braking and handling are great even after 12 years. Had to replace a water pump and a few things here and there. Only real complaint is the turning radius and driver side power window is giving me grief. Truck still looks great inside and out. Maintenance on any diesel engine is pricey but it's well worth it. For how big the truck is it gets pretty good gas mileage; about 16 miles per gallon on the highway. I wouldn't trade this truck in for anything besides maybe a 2012 Super Duty.
