Driving Experience
Includes acceleration and handling
What Owners Say
"The ride is a bit rough, (but it is a truck, after all). Acceleration and handling are as expected. One complaint is the gas milage. I previously had a 2006 F-250 with the same engine and transmission. The gas milage is worse on the 2010"
Leonard M., AZ (2010 Ford F-250)"Excellent driving and handling"
Anonymous, PA (2010 Ford F-250)"I do a lot of highway driving with this truck and it handles well, has plenty of power and is very comfortable for a 3/4 ton truck."
Anonymous, IL (2010 Ford F-250)"An F250 can haul weights far more than 3/4 ton! I carried 3 tons locally without hitting body suspension bottom out rubber .. the shifting was and is not as smooth. Apparently Ford ran out of standard transmissions at factory and had to purchase from a separate supplier. The new transmission not as smooth shifting, it’s from good to poor per differing throws. It was one of 10,000 or less installed. I did not want automatic my choice fully."
Anonymous, MA (2010 Ford F-250)"Plenty of power to pull an 8000 lb boat."
Anonymous, NY (2010 Ford F-250)"Excellent"
Anonymous, NV (2010 Ford F-250)"It has an 8 foot bed, and is a diesel. It drives beautifully and has excellent pick up. It is large though, so it can be bothersome when parking in a grocery lot. Takes up more than one space. But, you get used to it."
Anonymous, FL (2010 Ford F-250)"The acceleration is great even with heavy loads."
Anonymous, DE (2010 Ford F-250)"It handles slow acceleration fine, so long as I know that and don't try for fast acceleration while hauling, all is well. It is a capable truck. haven't gotten stuck with it anywhere."
Anonymous, PA (2010 Ford F-250)"the 5.7 L V8 is an absolute dog even when the truck is lightly loaded. It handles like I expect a large truck to handle"
SALVATORE L., PA (2010 Ford F-250)"We have not had any problems until recently and after a 2nd trip to dealer it was fixed. A sensor in the exhaust system was not cheap to repair. We would absolutely buy another F250."
JEAN S., TX (2010 Ford F-250)"Dives like a large P/U and works like a horse pulling our Travel Trailer all over Texas"
GLORIA E., TX (2010 Ford F-250)"The diesel engine is wonderful when we are traveling with our 30' Antique Boat."
CHARLES M., SC (2010 Ford F-250)"Effortless towing, very good control when pulling a trailer"
WAYNE S., TX (2010 Ford F-250)"Turbo diesel is s great engine. Excellent power & acceleration for a 6600 lb. vehicle. Handles very well in all weather."
Scott M., NY (2010 Ford F-250)"acceleration is OK handling is very good great side view mirrors"
John C., MA (2010 Ford F-250)"Turbo diesel is a lightning quick beast in spite of 7400 lb curb weight. Handling is better than average for a truck this size."
Jen B., MD (2010 Ford F-250)"Handing is great - lots of power and smooth."
Melora J., MS (2010 Ford F-250)
"It drives like a truck. The good is that we use it to pull a 14,000 pound fifth-wheel all over the country, and it pulls it fine over all kinds of terrain, The down is that it rides like a truck. Very good truck, though. Big diesel."
James G., NE (2010 Ford F-250)
