1995 Ford F-250 problems
The Ford Super Duty (also known as the Ford F-Series Super Duty) is a series of heavy-duty pickup trucks produced by the Ford Motor Company since the 1999 model year. Slotted above the consumer-oriented Ford F-150, the Super Duty trucks are an expansion of the Ford F-Series range, from F-250 to the F-600. The F-250 through F-450 are offered as pickup trucks, while the F-350 through F-600 are offered as chassis cabs.
Rather than adapting the lighter-duty F-150 truck for heavier use, Super Duty trucks have been designed as a dedicated variant of the Ford F-Series. The heavier-duty chassis components allow for heavier payloads and towing capabilities. With a GVWR over 8,500 lb (3,900 kg), Super Duty pickups are Class 2 and 3 trucks, while chassis-cab trucks are offered in Classes 3, 4, 5, and 6. The model line also offers Ford Power Stroke V8 diesel engines as an option.
Ford also offers a medium-duty version of the F-Series (F-650 and F-750), which is sometimes branded as the Super Duty, but is another chassis variant. The Super Duty pickup truck also served as the basis for the Ford Excursion full-sized SUV.
The Super Duty trucks and chassis-cabs are assembled at the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Kentucky, and at Ohio Assembly in Avon Lake, Ohio. Prior to 2016, medium-duty trucks were assembled in Mexico under the Blue Diamond Truck joint venture with Navistar International.

Negative 1995 Ford F-250 car reviews
Positive 1995 Ford F-250 car reviews

I really enjoy the power and braking of this vehicle. After adding the Y headers, the engine became even better and more fuel efficient. I get 12 mpg on the freeway and 9 mpg in town. This is my daily driver, but I also use it for towing occasionally (10 mpg while towing) and off-roading on the weekends. The captain's chairs are comfortable, but the armrests are a bit too high for me since I'm a tall guy. I opted for the manual shifted transfer case to avoid any issues with the solenoid failing in the mud (based on my experience working at a dealership). I also installed manual locking 4x4 hubs. I've taken this truck airborne off-roading before and broke the steering box, but I was still able to drive it home and then to work to put in a new one. I've never had any issues with the A/C system, and it still blows cold, although it's not so great in southern California traffic.

I hope you're doing well! I just wanted to share my experience with my diesel car. It has two tanks, which is really convenient. I've driven it for over 200,000 miles and haven't had any issues at all. Plus, it only requires diesel fuel. Thanks for listening!
-
It's great to have this truck! As my friends say, it's the last of the trucks. It pulls my 32ft camper with ease and even handles the beach terrain without any issues. Of course, being a 3/4 ton truck and not a half ton, it's not the most fuel-efficient. Mine has a 351 and has already clocked 166,000 miles, but it's still going strong for now.
-
You've had this truck for 8 years and counting and it's been great! Your truck has the 7.3L turbo diesel with 190 hp@3000rpm and it's been a great companion.

Other years of Ford F-250
Are you having problems with your 1995 Ford F-250?
Al Schoen 2024-10-01
Your '95 F250 has been performing impressively even under heavy stress. We have been using it to tow a 16' trailer and haul heavy loads like bricks or other building materials. The 460 engine always starts well and has lots of power and torque despite being a fairly primitive engine design. Although the fuel economy is usually anywhere from 9 mpg city/12 mpg highway, depending on the load and wind conditions, the truck has been a solid and reliable work truck. The only issues we have encountered are some rear brake problems, cheap interior plastic parts, and some issues with the clutch linkage.
Marlin Carroll 2024-02-18
The truck is great! Although the mileage is not the best, it more than makes up for it with its impressive power and torque.
