2000 Ford F250 Arizona review from North America
"This is by far the best truck on the road. Highly recommend it over dodge and chevy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have never had this truck in the shop. I have owned this truck for a year and a half and never had the slightest problem.
General comments?
This is a truck that I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a truck for serious work or play.
The solid front axle allows for a more rugged suspension which allows for a cheaper long term maintenance cost.
The gas mileage is awesome. Living in Phoenix, AZ, I get 18.5mpg to 19.5mpg in rush-hour traffic. The worst gas mileage I have experienced (not towing) was 16.5mpg. The best overall gas mileage experienced was 23.3mpg. Typically I get 20.5 to 21.0 on the roads and through the mountains.
Diesel power is tremendous. Why drive a gas guzzler when you can have more torque and speed than a V10! The performance is very nice.
The only negative (if you can call this negative) thing, is the rougher ride than you would typically get in a independent suspension vehicle. I don't mind only because the vehicle is very solid and maintenance free.
