Ford F-250 Change Vehicle

Unlock Ratings
The F-250 Super Duty is based on Ford's commercial truck platform. It's a work truck with moderate payload capacity, great towing capability and little else to recommend it, thanks to a lousy ride and mediocre brakes. Uncomfortable seats detract further from the driving experience. Stability control, full-time four-wheel drive, and curtain airbags are all lacking.

Overall Owner Satisfaction

Consumer Reports’ Annual Owner Satisfaction Survey can improve the chances of finding a compatible car match. How? Our survey data reveals whether, all things considered, owners would buy the same car again. The answer to that question is what determines our owner-satisfaction rating, which is a powerful piece of intel because it predicts how well a particular model will satisfy other owners.

Overall Owner Satisfaction

Owner Satisfaction with:

Driving Experience

Includes acceleration and handling

What Owners Say

"Towing power. I drive in the mountains to go to my cabin and it flies up the steep mountains."

DANIEL M., ID (2008 Ford F-250)

"Acceleration and handling are very good. Only negative is dealing with speed bumps."

GARY D., BC (2008 Ford F-250)

"Fuel pump replacement requires lifting cab off frame or taking apart turbo chargers to access fuel pump"

JAMES A., FL (2008 Ford F-250)

"I purchased this pickup truck with the express purpose of using it for towing a fifth wheel travel trailer. The engine and transmission were the biggest and most powerful at the time and has served me exceptionally well. This vehicle is also more comfortable to ride in for longer periods of time than the sedans most people ride in. The engine and transmission have never failed to respond to whatever is demanded of them even while towing through the Rocky mountains with a 36 foot 5th Wheeler."

CHARLES M., UT (2008 Ford F-250)

Percentage of owners who would definitely purchase that same vehicle again. Owner-satisfaction Ratings are determined by the percentage of those who answered "definitely yes" to the question asked by the Consumer Reports Annual Auto Survey "Considering all factors (price, performance, reliability, comfort, enjoyment, etc.), would you get this car if you had to do it all over again?". If we don’t have sufficient data, a similar model might be used to form the owner-satisfaction score.
