What are the most common problems with the Ford F250?

Does the Ford F250 have a lot of problems? I might invest in one for work, but I don’t want to have to bring it to the shop all the time.

It’s good that you’re researching the F250 before you make an investment! The most common problems with the
Ford F250
include:
  1. Cracked exhaust manifolds
  2. Failing sensors
  3. Bad catalytic converters
  4. A leaky oil pan gasket
  5. Sticky brakes
  6. Issues getting the vehicle to start
Overall, the F250 isn’t very reliable. It received a poor reliability rating due to its poor ownership costs. Since a lot of these common problems are expensive to repair, any issues with your Ford might cost you more than you’d bargained for.
If you’re worried about your Ford needing repairs, you might consider mechanical breakdown insurance. Check out the
