MY father in law has your same truck but a couple years older and it is great truck but 4x4. Has plenty of power and rides great. Every brand of truck will have their issues and small batches will have some major problems. It is how the dealer and manufacture take care of said issues.

I have a 2015 Laramie Mega Cab with 6.4 and notice the there seem to be quite a bit more pep and grunt than his Ford 6.2. Maybe the gearing or something but does seem to have more power. In the end, though, anything I'd tow with my 6.4 he could tow just as easily with his 6.2. If you are happy, that is all that matters.

Mine is a 2016 and I've not had a single problem at 34,000 miles, Still tight and rattle free too.



I pull our TT with it and it does great with it in the hills here in North Arkansas, Plenty of power and it doesn't seem to know the TT is behind it.

Just for perspective, ford sells more pickups than gm and dodge combined.

Nike sells more shoes than anyone else. I don't like Nike, I were Asics. They fit better.

That wasnt quite the point. The point was that there are going to be more problems overall just because there are more owners. If nike sells 50,000 shoes that fall apart within 3 months and asics sells 10,000 that fall apart asics looks better until you follow up with asics built 30,000 shoes to nikes 5 million.

That wasnt meant to bash asics or promote nike. When you wear a 13 4e new balance is just about the only option.

I drove my truck yesterday 100 miles on the highway. Wow, a very nice highway cruiser. I was on I95 so yes, I was driving 75 - 80 mph. This truck cruises super nice. Something my other truck did not do. It was only happy towing or a highway speed of 72mph.

I am still amazed at how nice this 2017 F-250 is. Still solid and no rattles...yet.
