General Comments:
Absolutely by far the best engineered, manufactured, high quality vehicle I have ever owned. I have driven several imports off the lot new (BMW, Lexus, Nissan, Toyota), but the Ford F-250 4x4 Supercab Lariat 7.3, 3.73 gears automatic is the most comfortable and powerful. It tows my 10,000 lb boat no problem. It is now over 10 years old, no rust, (Midatlantic), clear coat is perfect, chrome is good, no leaks, no electric problems, no major mechanicals. 7.3's are said to last many hundred thousands miles. The only caveat to this is the fuel. When I bought it, diesel was less than gas. Now the opposite.
It gets:
14.8 mpg around town
20-22 mpg highway.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I just bought a Ford F250 Super Duty about two weeks ago. The first problem I had was the turbo went out two days after I got it. I bought it from the dealer, so they fixed it without too many hassles.
Gas mileage is a concern of mine, but I did the math and figured about 19.5 mpg 'highway speed', so I think that's pretty good, let's hope for the best.
