Well I pulled the trigger on a 2017 F250 a couple months back. I really like this truck. I still have my lbz which I love but ford did a good job. The tech is really nice and the room is great. I almost bought a Denali but after driving them both ford got me.

It’s funny. This seems to be a more and more popular thing happening. Can’t say I blame ya. Them fords look GOOD

But time has proven they don't hold together, I wish you all the best.

Ya just look at Zak he lasted like 2 months in his furd

I have 11 thousand miles on it and no issues yet. My 15 duramax by this time had some fuel issue and a sunroof that leaked 4 times. I love gms but for the money I thought ford offered more

Hopefully you don’t tow. They don’t make it very far on a tank of fuel. But they have power and are nice.

I did a few upgrades. I guess only time will tell

Them headlights tho. Love the silver. Don’t care what anyone says, they’re the best looking truck on the market, and the 6.7s are pretty sweet engines.

Ugliest Ford yet IMO.
Drive them at work. I'd never buy one for a plethora of reasons.

If they are what you are into though then giv'r I guess.

My company truck is a 17 f250. Not a bad truck, has 30k on it with no problems.plenty of power but fuel milage is crap

I'll go look in December when I need to trade again, but last time I did I still went with GM. I just can't bring myself to drive a Ford... Lol...

I drove them both took them both home for a week. I have 3 kids and the 2 and 4 year old can barley reach the back of my seats. Rear vents also. Between that and the cameras sold me. The ride was as close to gm as I could find. The lights are pretty cool in these trucks.


I love these discussions some people hate fords and others don’t. Listen I am the first to say I love a gm product. I have 5 work trucks all gm, but I did buy a ford this year to compare though.

Ive been tempted by them also mostly for the fact that they are still tunable but then I’m reminded how much I hate Ford...
A neighbor has a platinum one and sitting in it just feels very cheaply made
There’s a list of other reasons mechanically why to
Best of luck to you though
If Ram ever got a transmission to hold together I would probably try a Cummins but then I would be a Gay Boy:roflmao:

I do tow a good bit. Fuel consumption isn’t the best for sure. But I’m being realistic my duramax never got better than 11 mpg towing better than 8k.

If I ever sell the lbz on accident I'll be looking into a 6.7 ford. I already stopped and looked at the one at the ford dealer.

I did it a year or so ago and haven't looked back. Best truck I've ever owned. But like others have said it doesn't get the mileage of a Duramax. I average 16.5. With a Duramax driving the same routes I'd get 18 or so.

I have a 100 gallon fuel tank in the bed of mine along with tool boxes and material for jobs. I don't tow anything but average around 10 mpg

I didn't think the delete tunes for the 17+ Ford's were reliable and threw CELs all the time.

Pretty sure that was the "mexico" calibration that ppl were running before actual tuning was available

after well over 100k miles if it holds up I'll admit I was wrong but in the end I still won't buy one I'm diehard Chevy.
