Includes acceleration and handling
What Owners Say
"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)"handling is fairly good - a little sloppy acceleration is kick ass"
John B., WA (2008 Ford F-250)"The ride is rough but it's a large truck made for towing and hauling. Pulls our 41 foot 5th Wheel Camper very well, just doesn't ride smooth."
Joa H., IA (2008 Ford F-250)"quick"
Anonymous, FL (2008 Ford F-250)"WILL TOW 10,000 LBS UP ANY 6% GRADE IN THE COUNTRY AT 63 mph WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. Gas mileage is the pits in town."
William B., AZ (2008 Ford F-250)"Has a lot of torque when needed power to pull a load"
Anonymous, LA (2008 Ford F-250)"Love how this vehicle handles. With twin turbos the acceleration is excellent. It is a workhorse for towing and handles well within it’s given parameters. For such a large vehicle it corners well and has a better than expected turning radius."
Anonymous, MO (2008 Ford F-250)"It is well built for the need that it was purchased to do. Because my car gets better fuel mileage, the pickup truck tends to sit in the garage until it is needed. This has been a great workhorse: it drives and handles well, it has a strong engine capable of good acceleration and towing heavy loads."
Charles M., UT (2008 Ford F-250)"It has the diesel engine, which has great power. I travel in the mountains a lot and it just flies up the steep ones. My only complaint is that diesel fuel costs more than regular gas."
Anonymous, ID (2008 Ford F-250)"Acceleration could be a little bit better, but overall it's not bad. Handles as well as a truck should and is easy to drive. For me, the styling of the front seems to make it difficult to pull into parking spaces on the right side. No trouble going left and back in parking is a breeze."
Anonymous, WI (2008 Ford F-250)"Plenty power"

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