Il meglio:Nice Strong running pickup. Hauled My 32ft Titian Stock Trailer thousands of miles with no issue. Never had a problem with it starting in the cold. (MT) My truck had an after marker turbo and exhust manifold and a heavy duty after market complete front end. But other then that it was all stock with orginal parts. Def system still intacked. Never did any work on the transmission.
Il peggio:Had the usual Turbo and exhaust manifold issues. Comman in 2012s and the Typical front end issues but replaced everthing with after market parts and havent had an issue since.
Il meglio:Interior space is great and it drives great.
Il peggio:This truck has the dreaded 6.8l V10 and I wish I had not bought it with that engine, the engine didn't even last 145k miles, it's currently not running because a chain tensioner gave out and jumped timing taking out all the valves on the passenger side of the engine. The truck suffers bad engineering, because to get the engine out the cab must be lifted off the frame. So along with the bad engineering and short life engine it also gets lousy mpg, best ever was 9.2mpg. Why do I keep it? Because the way it sits it's not worth anything so I'm going to fix it and sell it, then buy a Chevy! Or an older Ford with the 460.
Il meglio:After initial build I was 100% blown away by power,versatility and the ability to eat 5.0,7.3
Il peggio:The straight F#@kery with working on theses trucks is the biggest pain in my life,not kids,not wife,NO,this GD engine compartment,w/cab on,just straight SUCKS!
Il peggio:FORDS WORST DIESEL EVER MADE.MOST PEOPLE & DEALER SHIPS ARE IN THE DARK ABOUT REPAIRING IGNITION SYSTEM. KNOW TO HAVE HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS. THE PRICE YOUPAY FOR THEM & THE SERVICE IT GIVES YOU. WILL GIVE YOU NIGHTMARES AS LONG AS YOU OWE ONE.
Il meglio:This coach has the features I sought in a RV.
Il peggio:Because it was an Estate sale after it sat for 4 years, critters had made themselves very comfortable in every nook possible. No wiring was damaged, but the climate control vacuum lines were damaged.
Il peggio:Always in the shop although was bought during covid but I literally mean this truck will not start like does nothing then there are times it won’t shut off l have to pull the pcm fuse back up camera doesn’t work in reverse but comes on as your driving down the road the list goes on worst ford I’ve ever had still fighting with them as well
Il meglio:Very Reliable B20 Powerstroke plenty of power dosen't lagg at all never really had any issues with this truck pulls my race trailer likes its nothing plows great
