This vehicle is exactly what the seller ( Dean Gains ) with TxSurplus said it was. The entire group seller and adminstrators were excellent. They went out of their way to help us when we picked up the unit. We have never been treated so nice at a purchase pickup location. We buy product from all over and from many different agencies. This truck was purchased for my son. He is well pleased. I thank the entire sales group for their help and kindness.

Heard about the fuel economy and the sheer feeling of power from the diesel. Have owned three diesel fishing vessels and this is my first diesel vehicle.
This particular vehicle has an aftermarket four inch magna-flo exhaust installed and that is what has increased the fuel economy to an average of 24 mpg on a level road in cruise control at 55 mph. I had the vehicle delivered by a car carrier to NC from La and all worked out well. The vehicle has 100,000 miles on it, but being a diesel this is really just about broken in. Ford apparently has done a great job of building comfort into their Lariat models. The Captains seats are as comfortable as a fine recliner. Everything works as it should and that is a great plus considering the 100,000 thousand miles on the odometer. Also of importance is the fact that the 2005 F250 is built on the F450 frame. The crank case holds 11 qts. of oil and is available at Wal Mart along with all of the required filters. The recomended oil changes are at 6 month intervals or 7500 miles. This may sound expensive but when you compare with 3000 mile oil changes (5qts) in a gasoline vehicle it comes out about the same dollar value. This truck is as tough as they come yet it can be your sunday go-to-meeting vehicle. I will never go back to a gasoline P/U. again.
I Can't find fault with the vehicle at this time all is good.

King Ranch edition. plenty of power no matter the job great fuel economy 18.5mpg @ 65mph city roughly 10.5 mpg very spacious

Overall I am pleased with the purchase of my 2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4x4. The problem with buying a truck online is that when you go to get it you really don't have the time to notice everything that may be wrong with the purchase. It takes a buyer a week or two to notice most of the issues that may have prevented the purchase in the first place. I looked at my truck in a low lighted building. The truck finish looked great in that environment but when I got it home in the daylight it was a different story. I notice a large amount of scratching, orangepeel, cracking and peeling of the clearcoat, and a poorly painted repair job to the drivers side door. Mechanically the truck needed a new passenger side exhaust manifold and a new rear differential pinion seal. These were covered under an extended warranty the truck came with. If not the repairs would have cost near $1000 dollars. You have to be willing to accept some issues and expense when you buy used, just keep that in mind when offering how much you are willing to pay. If I had the time to really look at this truck I might not have bought it.

Great truck & well built for the long haul! Good looking lines and functionally designed. I wish I would have bought the F250 years ago!

I bought this 2005 f-250 6.0 powerstroke it has lots of power it is very smooth and shifts like a dream drove it 1800 miles home and it ran just perfect. bought it $11,000 off blue book also. :)

I only wish It had captain style fornt seats but over all is an excellent vehicle. There is nothing I dislike about this truck.

The Ford Super Duty is a line of commercial trucks (over 8,500 lb (3,900 kg) GVWR) introduced in 1998 for the 1999 model year. The F-250 to F-550 Super Duties are assembled at the Kentucky Truck Assembly in Louisville, Kentucky. The F-650 & F-750 Super Duties are assembled at the Blue Diamond Truck plant in Mexico.
The Super Duty trucks are larger, heavier built commercial/industrial series pickup trucks with heavier-duty body-on-frame steel ladder frames, axles, springs, brakes, transmissions, more powerful engines, and all other heavier/bigger components (with much higher payload and towing capacities) than the older traditional equivalent F-250, F-250HD (Heavy Duty), & F-350 Ford truck lines. In appearance, the Super Duty line might look a little similar to but does not share any of the design or build characteristics of the F-150. A F-250 Super Duty would surpass the older traditional F-350 in most categories.
Because Ford Motor Company discovered that over 80% of the Super Duties were used for towing heavy trailers on a regular day-to-day basis [2], Ford restyled the line for 2005. Exterior styling was given a minor update with a new front end, however, this generation has major strength improvements.

Major changes over the previous generation of Super Duties includes increased payload (GVWR) & towing (GCWR) capacities, a new taller front grille, new interior, standard locking tailgate, 10-17% thicker partially boxed frame, higher amp alternator, upgraded & larger 4-wheel disc brakes (13.66-in front & 13.39-in rear rotors) with huge twin caliper pistons, upgraded engines, upgraded automatic transmission option, an all new optional built-into-dash Ford TowCommand TBC (Trailer Brake Controller) that is fully integrated with the truck's PCM (Powertrain Control Module) and ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), an all new optional built-into-dash 4 AUX upfitter switches (for adding off road lights, winches, snow plows, etc.), and an optional drivers side glove compartment.

The front suspension on 4x4's use a solid front (monobeam) Dana Super 60 axle, but switched from leaf springs to coils and added a sway bar. On 4x4 models there still is a choice of a BorgWarner manual gear-driven transfer case floor shifter with manual front locking hubs or Electronic-Shift-On-the-Fly (ESOF, a $185 option over the manual) dash knob with vacuum activated automatic & (in case of failure) manual override front hubs. The optional FX4 models are basically a standard 4x4 with an Off Road package that includes a few extras like upgraded heavy duty Rancho shocks, limited-slip rear differential, added skid plates for the fuel tank and transfer case, and two "FX4" decals
