"An overpriced heap of junk"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

From the point I got it the brake system has not been the best. There was only a half a pedal there.

The clutch cylinders were leaking after 10 000 km.

The bull bar and tow bar has been cheaply put together. I ended up fixing it myself.

After 20 000 km I had to replace the coolant system.

I just hasn't had the power I expected it to have.

General comments?

After all that money I spent on it it hasn't re payed me anything.

I'd rather have my old Toyota.

I have owned a new f 250 for a year now and it is the best truck you could by. it has heaps of power and tows like a dream. This person does not now what he is talking about.

I don't know how you could possibly expect a 4.2 litre diesel engine to feel "powerful" in a 2.5 tonne truck. The 7.3 and 6.0l PowerStroke diesels have a proven track record, almost double the power of the 4.2 and are considered to be very reliable. I have not owned one, but from all the owners I have spoken to with the high capacity diesel engines they are all very pleased with their trucks. I assume this is the case with the 900,000+ Americans who buy new F-series each year also.

I would like to hook up to your Toyota bumper and have a pull out with you. I would rip your Toyota in half, and the back end of your Toyota would circle the earth about three times, making you wonder what happened LOL.

You must have got one of the few lemons. Haven't had any problems with my 2000 Ford Powerstroke (7.3). As a matter of fact it's the best Ford truck I have ever owned!

I liked the older gas fords, but the newer diesel are nice too. About two times the power of the old 390's and the 460's.
