What Owners Say
"Pulls travel trailer with ease, able to pass without hesitation."
Steven M., NC (2003 Ford F-250)"Freat acceleration for a truck its size. Steering could be better, it's very loose. Suspension is what would be expected for a truck without coil over shocks (pretty rough on bad roads)"
Anonymous, WI (2003 Ford F-250)"Truck handles well and has good acceleration."
Craig B., SC (2003 Ford F-250)"The truck is big. It handles and rides a bit rough and its noisey in the cab. After all, it is an older diesel truck. After making minor improvements to boost the 7.3 L diesel's performance, the truck has served us extremely well. My wife will even drive the truck on occasions. She doesn't want me to sell it and that's saying sonething."
Anonymous, KY (2003 Ford F-250)"It accelerates like it isn't pulling 15,000 pounds up a hill/in mountains. It handles great on the highway, in town, and off road. Parking is easiest if I back in. It is responsive to the steering wheel-the 'tightness' is just right for me. I also like the brakes-they are not mushy, and engage when I start putting pressure on the pedal. It does have a very wide turning radius that I'm not thrilled with, but work around."
REBEC F., CA (2003 Ford F-250)"It pulls my fifth wheel trailer well and will haul a cord of fire wood easily."
Anonymous, CA (2003 Ford F-250)"good"
DONNIE T., TX (2003 Ford F-250)"This Ford truck is easy for anyone to handle and it's done the job needed for our active life and farm needs."
Kristine D., OR (2003 Ford F-250)"Excellant driver even to win travel trailer"
Steven M., NC (2003 Ford F-250)"We use this vehicle to tow a horse trailer. It has plenty of power and is not affected by passing tractor trailers."
Anonymous, PA (2003 Ford F-250)"The turbocharger works well beyond my expectations and makes it easy to move into traffic while hauling or towing."
Anonymous, NV (2003 Ford F-250)"Extremely dependable. W/o chip it gets 15 mpg and 8-10 mpg when towing a 10,000 lb trailer. Still looks great. Drives and rides like a big truck."

"I installed a performance chip, which helped the fuel mileage and acceleration, especially while pulling a 12,000 pound rv."
