1996 Ford F-250 - Tough, reliable, and simple

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.

Story

So this isn't so fun but funny in hindsight. We were driving it the first summer. We had it in the Buffalo area and started to hear this awful grinding and thumping noise. We expected the worst and thought we'd be replacing all sorts of parts so we parked it for almost a month until we could take a good look at it. Turns out the lugnuts were loose on the front wheel. We parked it for no reason... (more)

Pros

The motor is the best part. The 7.3 L Diesel engine runs as good as it did 21 years ago. It is a very reliable motor and easy to find parts for if needed. Also, the simple body style was what we wanted. We were so used to our other trucks with fancy body lines and full crew cabs and leather and all the bells and whistles. Also the eight-foot bed was a perk because our beds are smaller on the other trucks. We can haul a lot more in the bed than the other two and still tow a good amount of weight as well.

Cons

We had to put a lot of money into this vehicle to get it looking how we wanted it. It ran and worked great but needed a lot of TLC in the form of money. We had to paint it and find several parts that needed replacing from twenty years of wear and tear. The biggest frustration when we got the truck was that we had a problem with the shifter not staying in gear. It started to roll away from me once in the driveway. Turns out there was just a screw loose, but it took a mechanic to figure it out.

2012 Ford F-250 - Ford F150

I love my truck. It's a 2012 Ford F150. It has a bright red color that really grabs your attention. It sits kind of high to give the affect of a lift kit, but it is a stock version. It's V8 engine has plenty of get up and go. The automatic transmission shifts very smooth to the point that I hardly notice as it shifts through each gear. It is a four door version that provides plenty of room for various functions. When I have my daughter and her friends have an activity it provides a comfortable setting to transport them from point A to B, but when I have a work related activity then I am absolutely satisfied with the space it gives me for cargo related to the project. The bed of the truck is obviously a great addition and the reason I bought the truck. I am easily able to load ... (more)

Story

It will forever be burned into my memory driving my daughter around in my truck while she was very young and still in her car sit. As we stopped at red lights and I would check on her in my rear view mirror it would swell in my heart to look up and see her smiling giggling face.

Pros

I love the V8 engine and how well it responds to my expression to the gas petal. It is very roomy and provides more than enough space for everything in my life. There's room for kids, music gear, or tools.

Cons

Even though I love the color, sometimes I think it grabs the attention of people in a negative way. I have been told that police focus on brighter colors and after owning a bright red truck, I believe I would agree with this statement.

2011 Ford F-250 - Great

We bought our pickup because we had a house and needed something to haul stuff. We traded a Subaru Tribeca for it and it has been great. With having two kids in car seats the Tribeca left us no room for anyone else and not a lot of room for luggage. The pickup we got is the full bed and extended cab. We have room now not only for our two kids and car seats with the extended cab but also for two other people or our dog. Having the space has been amazing. The vehicle is also very comfortable to ride in. A great thing about the pickup is you can move the pedals towards you so it helps me not have to be so close to the steering wheel. A downside to the vehicle is the gas mileage. We did get the eco friendly pickup so that helps but with it being such a large truck, the gas mileage is not g... (more)

Story

When we mo dew had the vehicle packed with stuff. We had two adults, two kids, a cat and a dog all in the cab for a two day drive and space was not too tight.

Pros

Very roomy Very dependable Great features for short people.

Cons

Big and hard to park Gas mileage is not great
