What Owners Say
"Diesel has great power and torque"
Donald S., NC (2015 Ford F-250)"Great acceleration and towing ability from this twin turbo diesel"
Tommy L., TX (2015 Ford F-250)"Lots of acceleration power when needed"
Anonymous, IL (2015 Ford F-250)"Good acceleration, resume on cruise is too quick handling is great"
Anonymous, GA (2015 Ford F-250)"It drive like a dream, again probably better than a Cadillac. Only drawback (necessary evil) is that is is huge, like trying to park a boat."
Gainer J., FL (2015 Ford F-250)"Excellent acceleration"
Frank G., FL (2015 Ford F-250)"My F-250 has more than adequate power to pull our 32 ft fifth wheel RV. Tows perfectly in my opinion."
Anonymous, TX (2015 Ford F-250)"Hot rod level, accelaration, handling, stopping"
Anonymous, TX (2015 Ford F-250)"The 6.7 has lots of power and is very quiet. Cruse control is a must because it's hard to know how fast your going without always looking at your speed control."
Steven F., NC (2015 Ford F-250)"It is always responsive and tows recreational vehicles very well."
Anonymous, AZ (2015 Ford F-250)"Was able to pull a 5th wheel no problem while maintaining speeds, no jerking or delays. Smooth ride."
Anonymous, OR (2015 Ford F-250)"The acceleration is fantastic. Towing a 10,000lbs trailer is a breeze. I am always able to merge with traffic safely and maintain highway speeds on any hill. The handling is a little lazy. Quick maneuvering is not to be expected with this vehicle. Spirited driving while empty reveals a heavy lumbering vehicle with plenty of understeer. The vehicle is more at home while towing. The vehicle overload springs are welcomed when carrying a heavy load but can contribute to unsettling of the rear of the truck if your load is not quite heavy enough to make contact in a static position but does make contact when hitting bumps in the road. The heavy duty overload springs increase spring rate significantly when engaged which does make for a rougher ride. The front suspension on this vehicle feels a little disconnected from the driver and the shifting weight of the front differential can be felt on rough roads (2wd vehicles likely do not have this same issue). The stability management works very well. The off-road capabilities are what you would expect from a truck this heavy. The locking rear differential is a very welcomed feature."
James H., AL (2015 Ford F-250)"I use this truck to tow a 14,000 pound fifth wheel trailer. The horsepower and torque that the diesel puts out makes towing a heavy load a breeze. I get about 9 miles per gallon towing this heavy load which is very respectable."
Stanley H., CO (2015 Ford F-250)"Horrible turning ratio. Bad sightlines many blind spots particularly bad sightlines forward over hood. Difficult to judge distance of objects of low height in front of vehicle."
Anonymous, FL (2015 Ford F-250)"We have driven diesel trucks before and the acceleration has been doggy. This one moves when you hit the gas, very peppy!!"
Anonymous, KS (2015 Ford F-250)"It's a 6.7 liter diesel. Once it is warmed up, there is plenty of power an excellent acceleration. It tows my 9000 pound trailer like it isn't there. I very much like the tow/haul mode which changes the gear ratios and employs down hill engine braking."
Anonymous, VA (2015 Ford F-250)"Occasional acceleration lag due to exhaust cleaning"
WILLIAM M., OR (2015 Ford F-250)"Sometimes pulls abruptly to the left when braking & they can't duplicate it."
HUGH C., GA (2015 Ford F-250)"We tow a fifth wheel RV and it drives and handles very well on the road, up hills and in curves."
Anonymous, TX (2015 Ford F-250)"Delayed acceleration when passing vehicles."
Anonymous, TX (2015 Ford F-250)"I get 19 MPG driving on the highway solo. I get 9 MPG pulling a 14,000 pound Fifth Wheel trailer. For a big diesel, I consider this to be excellent."
STANLEY H., CO (2015 Ford F-250)"We use this F250 XLT 4x4 short box crew-cab truck with 6.2L gas engine primarily to tow our 32' OAL bumper-pull travel trailer, 9000 lb loaded. We replaced a very nice 2008 King Ranch F350 Ford 4x4 6.4 diesel with this truck after an unfortunate issue with water in the diesel fuel. We knew the 6.2L would not pull as well as the diesel, but even in the Rocky Mountains where we live with our 8000' mountain passes we are happy with the performance. This truck has the 10,000 lb GVW package, Fires"
GLENN W., ID (2015 Ford F-250)"Electric throttle terrible. In the handling department, it's like driving a big rubber ball."
Anonymous, ME (2015 Ford F-250)"I tow a fifth wheel RV travel trailer and this F-250 pulls it efforlessly."
Anonymous, TX (2015 Ford F-250)"Turbo kicks in rapidly and vehicle has great torque to pull trailers. Handles like a truck."
Robert F., CA (2015 Ford F-250)"We had a Chevrolet truck but our Ford King Ranch had more pickup on acceleration and was easier to drive. The King Ranch package was quieter riding and the truck was more like driving a car."

"It handles the loading and transport of previously mentioned slide in camper flawlessly."
