2006 Ford F250 Super Duty Super Cab Consumer Reviews

I am a very practical buyer and started out reviewing a truck that could easily tow a Fifth Wheel RV around the country for work. I tested out the Chevy's,Dodges and the Ford. It seemed that all three had their strengths and weaknesses on paper, kind of balancing each other out. The strength of the Ford is the drivetrain. I have had no issues with the 6L powerstroke as it has endured my daily torture tests for years without so much as a hiccup. Some complain about the reliability, those are the same fools buying the programmers to get another 100 horsepower, then want to cry about losing reliability. I have added a turbo-back exhaust (MBRP) to get a burlier sound and arguably better fuel economy. Back on track, I bought it because it was a practical choice, but found it to be a joy to drive. Comfort is a 10/10, never had a vehicle that did not absolutely kill me on 12+ hour drives. I am still fresh when parking this truck. Value for me should be a 10/10, it's worth more private party than I paid for it as a 3rd owner, but that will depend on negotiating skills. Reliability, no issues there, 9/10. Quality, had a rattle in the back seat after I figured out it comes out, no real room behind it so might want to leave it alone( I just put an old tshirt behind it, problem solved!)The Ford Hood (on the grill) emblems seem to fade out fairly fast, it doesn't bother me enough to change though. THIS IS ONE TOUGH TRUCK! Driving Dynamics were 8/10 because it's not a sports car, it will haul in a straight line, but what do you expect in the corners for a curb weight of 10,000 lb's? It actually does fairly well when you do consider the weight, it definately sticks to the road and has minimum roll. 500 mile range on 32 gallon tank and 4 wheel drive makes it pretty darn dynamic. Design 9/10, love the look of the exterior, get yourself some slightly oversized mud tires and you won't notice a difference in anything but it will look much better. Interior is satisfactory, much better than the Chevy or the Dodge, Chevy's don't redesign very often and the Dodge is plain compared to the well thought out Ford(IMHO).Comfort, You will love sitting up high, legs don't ache, back is well supported with plenty of lumbar range, best road trip vehicle I've owned. Overall, the reliability is a non-issue if you treat this truck like any other(don't go hog wild on the aftermarkets) which was my main concern before purchasing. Just use common sense, and this will be the best truck you have ever owned.
