        Ford F250 Lariat Tremor

        by Benny on Monday, July 14, 2025

        Absolutely love everything about this truck! Built to handle anything you throw at it! Packing a 6.7L High Output Diesel with a best-in-class 500 HP & 1200 lb-ft of torque! Drives smooth, able to tow up to 23k lbs, and looks great doing it. Outstanding road manners, both on-road and light off-road. No issues whatsoever on its first 12k Miles & counting. Sound/infotainment system is fast & user friendly. Interior is well mapped out and seats are supportive, yet comfortable. Pano sunroof is a nice touch. Lariat trim is the sweet spot concerning amenities & dollar-for-dollar value.…

        Excellent value for the money

        by Robert on Monday, November 03, 2025

        I was initially looking at an F150 for about 2 years, but with the options I wanted, it was out of my price range. Then I saw the F250 with the majority of options I was looking for plus a few others and it was in my price range ( I paid cash). Sticker price was 63K, I was able to get it for 55K out the door, on New Years Eve. After a test drive I decided this was the truck for me. It has great visibility all around, excellent towing capacity and the 8 foot bed was exactly what I needed. It has the 7.3L gas engine and the 10 speed transmission, plus the upfitter switches enabling to add many other optional items. The other options included were heavy duty front suspension, 360 degre camera, power folding mirrors and a 48 gallon fuel tank that allows me to drive over 700 miles on a tank, and many more items. Has great power to tow almost anything with power to spare. Of course it rides like a truck as expected and the fuel economy is not the greatest (12 city, 18 hwy) without towing; towing a trailer (5000 lbs) mileage was (10 city and 15 hwy), which still isn't bad considering the weight. Overall I'm very satisfied with the truck, only one Con is the turning radius is not great, especially with the 8 foot bed and 176 inch wheelbase.…
