2001 Ford F250 XL review from North America

"The best and worst truck I ever owned"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

At 1200 miles the cam sensor blew out, causing the truck to truck to shut down. This would happen at any time, pulling up to a stop or traveling at highway speeds.

At 32000 miles the glow plug relays blew out.

At 36800 the transmission blew out.

The only failure that left us stranded was the transmission and fortunately it blew in front of the house.

This truck was not used at anything near it potential as I live one block from work and the only time it really gets used is to take trips pulling a 20 X 7 foot box trailer with a couple of ATV's in it.

General comments?

If not for my dealer, Ace Ford in Woodbury, NJ I would have gotten rid of this truck a long time ago. They have the best Service department that I have ever delt with. They also have given me many fair deals.

Love everyting about the truck except the engine package (7.3 diesel).

I have a Crew Cab and it is by far the most comfortable interior on the market.

The on the fly four wheel drive works flawlessly.

The truck rides very smoothly, 8 food bed, however the turning radius could be improved.

I have had enough with the engine package. I am trading it in on a new F250 with a 5.4 gas engine. The only down side will be the fuel mileage, was getting 18 mpg all the time and up to 23 mpg on one trip, I expect that I might see 12 to 16 mpg out of the gas engine.
