This vehicle was purchased to be a third truck in our Ford "lineup." We were putting too many miles on our two newer trucks and decided to go for an older, trusted model. It was in great working condition but was not at all pretty when we bought it. It was three colors, and there wasn't a headliner or carpet. But it ran like a top and got the same mileage as our other trucks. It was just what we needed with just a regular cab just big enough for the two of us.

I’ve been loyal to Dodge Ram for years. It used to be “The Truck” for me until last year when I had to buy a new truck as an emergency to replace our Dodge that stopped working and no mechanic would save it for less than a couple of thousands of dollars. For lack of time, options and enough money, I ended up buying a used 2016 Ford F-150 Super Crew for the first time. What a great truck! It absolutely exceeded my expectations! The bed is slightly smaller than in the Dodge, but all the other features make it irrelevant. Very powerful engine with impressive towing capabilities (my husband and I have been pulling pretty heavy stuff like our 20’f boat and a camper), great space in the cab, not to mention how much of fuel economy we got with the 2.7 EcoBoost. Except for my first Apple MacBook, I honestly have never been more pleased with a purchase.

The 2005 F-250's styling is such that it still looks good on the road nine years later. It's an attractive truck, very comfortable (as far as pick ups go), and has plenty of room in the cabin and bed. There is a small blind spot, but nothing out of the ordinary. I haven't taken my truck in for many repairs at all. Gas mileage is high, due to the type of vehicle it is. Repair costs are fair and easy to come by. The truck is fine to drive, I don't know if I would consider it "fun". It handles well. I definitely feel safe and in control while driving it, as it is a larger vehicle.
