Miles Overview
The F-250 is Ford's heavy-duty pickup for that year, the one you step up to when a half-ton isn't enough for the job. It's a big truck that drives like one, with a commanding view over traffic and a ride that settles down once you've got weight in the bed. The cab is genuinely roomy, and even the base XL comes with a practical layout that's easy to live with day to day. Owners of this generation F-250 talk up the long-term durability, especially the diesel motor, though the fuel pump can need attention over time. The XL skips the XLT's chrome trim and carpeting, but gets you the same heavy-duty chassis and drivetrain for less money. Its 7.3L V8 makes 205 horsepower and pairs with four-wheel drive, giving you a truck that pulls a loaded trailer without breaking a sweat. The vinyl floor covering and rubber mats in the XL are easier to hose out than carpet if you actually work the truck.
