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.

Common Ford Super duty problems

Common Problems with Ford Super Duty Cars:

Suspension Issues: Suspension problems can lead to an inability to control the vehicle and may require expensive repairs. The 2006 and 2011 models are particularly susceptible to these issues, with complaints about death wobble, hyper shaking, and shaking and loss of control.

Exhaust and Emissions Issues: The 2012 F-250 had exhaust and emissions issues, with Ford issuing multiple recalls, including one for an exhaust gas temperature sensor problem that might start an engine compartment fire.

Transmission Issues: Transmission problems can lead to shifting difficulties and reduced performance and dependability. The 2012 F-250, in particular, had transmission issues, with some drivers reporting transmission failure due to torque converter and shifting difficulties.

Fuel System Issues: Fuel system problems can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and increased repair costs. The 6.4L Ford Power Stroke diesel engine, for example, suffers from poor fuel mileage while driving in traffic or at slow speeds, mainly because of the diesel particulate filter's need for fuel for regeneration/increasing exhaust-gas temperature during exhaust events.

Fuel in Oil: During regeneration, diesel is injected near the end of the engine's exhaust stroke and mixes with gases to help burn hydrocarbons in the filter. Residual fuel in the oil is the problematic fallout of this process, and it can result in severe internal engine damage.

Poor Piston Design: The 6.4L Ford Power Stroke diesel engine also has issues with cracked pistons due to poor piston design, which can lead to severe internal engine damage.

Radiator Leaks: The radiator tanks in the 6.4L Ford Power Stroke engine are made of plastic and are prone to cracks that lead to coolant leaks. This issue can promote severe engine damage from overheating.

Brake System Recalls: The 2008 F-250 had fuel injector and brake system recalls, which were unresolved and posed safety risks for drivers.

Interior Difficulties: The 2012 F-250 had interior difficulties, including material quality, uncomfortable seats, and antiquated electronics. These issues led to low-reliability ratings from J.D. Power and other reports.

In conclusion, while the Ford F-250 is a popular and powerful vehicle, it has had its share of issues over the years. Engine troubles, suspension issues, exhaust and emissions problems, transmission difficulties, fuel system issues, fuel in oil, poor piston design, radiator leaks, brake system recalls, and interior difficulties are all common problems that have been reported by owners. It is essential to be aware of these issues when considering purchasing a used Ford F-250.

Ford Super duty 1999

Date Of Incident: 2017-11-30
Date Complaint: 2017-12-01
VIN: 1FTNF20L6XE
Components: SEAT BELTS
Summary: I NOTICED THE DRIVER SEAT BELT BUCKLE NOT COMPLETELY LATCHING AND BEING ABLE TO YANK THE BELT OUT OF THE BUCKLE. THERE WAS NOTHING STUCK IN THE BUCKLE, IT WAS JUST BROKEN. LOOKING ONLINE, I SAW A 2001 RECALL FOR WHAT LOOKS LIKE THE EXACT SAME BUCKLE, AND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE BUCKLES BREAKING INTERNALLY. THE LOCAL DEALER (CAPITAL FORD IN HILLSBOROUGH) REFUSED TO REPLACE THE BUCKLE FOR FREE. IF THEY MADE THESE BUCKLES LIKE THE STEEL ONES ON AIRPLANES INSTEAD OF WITH CHEAP CRAP PLASTIC, THEY WOULD NEVER BREAK. FORD CHARGES AROUND $75 JUST FOR THE BUCKLE PART, WHICH IS STILL MADE OF CHEAP PLASTIC. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO.

Ford Super duty 2009

Date Of Incident: 2013-05-20
Date Complaint: 2014-05-21
VIN: 1FTSW21RX9E
Components: WHEELS
Summary: I AM EXPERIENCING A FAILURE IN THE FACTORY WHEELS ON MY 2009 FORD F250. THE CRACKS ARE VERY LARGE, LIKE A SEPARATION IN THE ALLOY, THEY ARE NOT FROM THE EDGES AS MOST CRACKS ARE, AND MEASURE APPROXIMATELY 4-5 INCHES. THIS IS MY THIRD FAILURE IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR. ALL ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL, ALL HAVE HAPPENED ON THE FRONT, AND HAVE HAD NO SIGNS OF IMPACT. IT IS MY STRONG OPINION THAT THIS PARTICULAR WHEEL HAS NOT BEEN ENGINEERED CORRECTLY FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE FRONT END. THIS HAS PUT ME IN A HUGE SAFETY RISK AND I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY FROM THE MANUFACTURER. PLEASE ALLOW ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEND SOME PICTURES. THE FIRST RIM I RETURNED FOR THE CORE CREDIT. I HAVE THE SECOND RIM IN MY POSSESSION, AND IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP WITH THE 3RD CRACK. *TR

Date Of Incident: 2009-07-07
Date Complaint: 2013-12-23
VIN: 1FTWW33P76E
Components: STEERING,SUSPENSION
Summary: TRUCK HIT A BUMP ON BRIDGE AND BEGAN VIOLENTLY SHAKING. I HAD TO BRING THE TRUCK TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING. I WENT SEVERAL TIMES TO FORD DEALERSHIPS TO FIND OUT IF ANY OTHER TRUCKS WHERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. BUT OF COURSE NO ONE ELSE WAS HAVING THIS SERVE PROBLEM. I FINALLY TALKED TO A TIRE SHOP WHO SAID HE HAD HEARD OF THE PROBLEMS WITH FORD TRUCKS SHIMMY. HE SAID FIRST CHECK YOUR AIR PRESSURE. FOUND THE PRESSURE LOW AND ADDED AIR. THIS HELPED WITH THE PROBLEM BUT HAD NOT SOLVED PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT JUST A MILD SHIMMY! THIS IS A DEATH WOBBLE.!!! I ALSO FOUND A PROBLEM WITH BRAKES. WITH ONE WHEEL DRAGGING AND THE OTHER NOT DRAGGING AS MUCH. THE PLASTIC PISTONS IN THE CALIPERS WHERE ALL FROZE UP. HAD TO REPLACE ALL CALIPERS AND ALL PADS. THIS WAS A EXPENSE JOBS WITH A TRUCK WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES. I REPLACED ALL TIRES WITH THE SAME TIRE THAT CAME ON TRUCK. WITH REPLACEMENT OF TIRES, BRAKES, AND RIGHT AIR PRESSURE IT CERTAINLY HAS HELPED WITH THE VIOLENT DEATH WOBBLE. BUT TRUCK STILL SHIMMIES EVERYTIME YOU BRING THE TRUCK TO A STOP. TRUCK STILL DOESN'T HAVE BUT 58,000 ON IT. I HAVE A 2001 GMC 2500HD ALSO AND HAVE NEVER HAD EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE WITH THIS FORD. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD TRUCK. BECAUSE FORD IS TRYING TO PLAY THIS PROBLEM OFF WITH A SHIMMY. INSTEAD OF FIXING THEIR PROBLEMS. I HAVE HEARD THAT REPLACING THE BIG STEERING ARM WILL TAKE CARE OF PROBLEM. WILL TRY THIS NEXT . I CAN'T AFFORD GETTING RID OF TRUCK. *TR

Ford Super duty 2006

Date Of Incident: 2013-10-03
Date Complaint: 2013-10-05
VIN: 1FTSW21P86E
Components: POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE
Summary: I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE DIESEL ENGINE TO START FROM COLD. THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK FOR BETWEEN 6 AND 10 SECONDS BEFORE FINALLY FIRING. IN ADDITION, I HAVE EXPERIENCED ONE TURBO CHARGER OVER BOOST CONDITION WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO LIMP HOME MODE ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN WITH THE BOAT AND SUDDENLY FOUND MY ENGINE RPM LIMITED TO 1500 AND A MAX SPEED OF APPROX. 29MPH. THE DIESEL TECH TOLD ME THAT MY TURBOCHARGER WASN'T EVEN PROVIDING BOOST DUE TO THE VARIABLE GEOMETRY VANES BEING COKED FROM BURNING ENGINE OIL THAT I COULDN'T SEE OR SMELL. THE COMPUTER WASN'T HAPPY WITH THIS AND AS A RESULT ALL BUT SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. AS FOR THE STARTING ISSUE, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE GARAGE ON 10-4-2013 AND NEARLY FELL OVER WHEN THE PHONE CALL CAME BACK. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED $3200.00 IN REPAIRS TO FIX THE FUEL INJECTOR "O" RINGS WHICH ARE LEAKING OIL, THE DOWN PIPES INSIDE THE ENGINE, ASSOCIATED FITTINGS FOR THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL SYSTEM/PUMP, THE TURBO CHARGER VARIABLE GEOMETRY VANES, AND OTHER COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE FUEL INJECTION CONTROL MODULE AND EGR. I AM PAYING TO REBUILD HALF THE ENGINE THAT FORD DIDN'T BUILD RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE SAME PROBLEMS RESULTING IN ALMOST COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILDS UNDER 100,000 MILES. A GOOGLE SEARCH TURNS UP THOUSANDS OF RESULTS FOR THESE SAME PROBLEMS AND THOUSANDS MORE COMPLAINTS THAT FORD KNOWS AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO COMPENSATE CONSUMERS. I'M NOT THE LAWSUIT KIND, BUT I DO EXPECT A PRODUCT I PURCHASE TO LAST WHEN SERVICED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURERS GUIDELINES. ALL RELEVANT SERVICES HAVE BEEN PERFORMED TO DATE BY FORD DEALERS AND I STILL HAVE A DEFECTIVE ENGINE. IT IS MY HOPE THAT ENOUGH OF US CAN GET FORMAL COMPLAINTS ISSUED TO HELP PAY FOR THESE EXPENSES. *TR

Ford Super duty 2006

Date Of Incident: 2010-04-20
Date Complaint: 2010-04-23
VIN: 1FTSX21P86E
Components: VISIBILITY,STRUCTURE
Summary: (A). I SENT AN EMAIL TO FORD HEADQUARTERS STATING "I CONTACTED THE DEALER/BODY SHOP AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY PEOPLE. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS A TSB 07-10-5 ON THIS ISSUE BUT NO RECALL AND MY COST TO REPLACE THE WINDOW BELT MOLDINGS/WINDOWS ON THE DRIVER/PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOORS OF MY TRUCK WOULD BE $300-400. MY QUESTION SINCE THIS IS A FORD ISSUE ON THE DESIGN WHICH CAUSED BOTH MY WINDOWS TO HAVE VERTICAL SCRATCH MARKS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOWS, ESPECIALLY THE PASSENGER SIDE WHICH IS SOMETIMES HARD TO SEE OUT OF, WOULD FORD FIX THIS ISSUE AS A VISIBILITY SAFETY ISSUE, FOR ME, THAT IS REPLACE THE WINDOWS/AND WINDOW BELT MOLDING AS SPECIFIED IN TCP 07-10-5 FREE OF CHARGE? (B). THE FORD MOTOR CO., CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER RESPONDED BACK AND STATED THEY TRIED TO CALL THE DEALER WITHOUT NO SUCCESS AND FOR ME TO CONTACT THEM REGARDING MY ISSUE. (C). I RESPONDED BACK AND STATED READ MY PREVIOUS EMAIL THAT I ALREADY HAD DONE THAT AND THEY (DEALER) STATED IT WOULD BE MY COST TO HAVE IT FIXED. I EXPLAINED ALL I WANTED TO KNOW IF FORD HDQTRS COULD DO ANYTHING FURTHER FOR ME SINCE THE DEALER WON'T UNLESS I PAY. I FIGURED IT WAS A FAULTY FORD DESIGN AND WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. (D). FORD HDQTS RESPONDED BACK AND STATED THE DEALER MADE THEIR DECISION AND THEY APOLOGIZED AND THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER THEY COULD DO. (E). I RESPONDED BACK AND STATED, SINCE IT IS HARD TO SEE OUT OF THE SCRATCHED WINDOWS THAT IF ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN DUE TO VISIBILITY ISSUES THAT I WOULD HOLD FORD RESPONSIBLE IN NOT FIXING THE ISSUE FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT, DUE TO A IMPROPER WINDOW BELT MOLDING INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY WHICH CAUSES THE WINDOW TO GET VERTICAL SCRATCHES. I ALSO EXPLAINED AT TIMES WHEN THE SUNLIGHT HITS THE WINDOWS JUST RIGHT ALL THE SCRATCHES SEEM TO MAGNIFY WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS. I BELIEVE THEY CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD AT LEAST PAY TO HAVE THE MOLDING AND NEW WINDOWS REPLACED IN MY F250 TRUCK AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

Summary: MARCH 2005 AN ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY WITH A REMANUFACTURED ONE WHICH FAILED IN AUGUST 2005 LEAVING ME STRANDED 250 MILES FROM HOME. ON DECEMBER 09,2005 A POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED UNDER THE EXT. WARR. PROGRAM WITH YET AGAIN A REMAN. PUMP. ON DECEMBER 22 IT FAILED LEAVING ME WITH NO BRAKES AND NO STEERING. IT IS A DIESEL IN WHICH THE BRAKE SYSTEM USES THE POWER STEERING PUMP FOR BOOST POWER.

CAN SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT THE USE OF REMANUFACTURED PARTS ON WARR. VEHICLES? I HAVE 44,000 MILES ON A TRUCK THAT IS BUILT TO LAST 300,000 PLUS MILES.
