I used to work for ford. Not the biggest fan. I do however like thier trucks, honest. If I needed bigger than a F250 or F350 it would not be a Ford. I say buy the Freightliner, hands down.
I don’t see any/many F650 F750s on the road either, you’d think there would be more if they were truly great. 5 year warranty is great and all but how many Ford techs at a typicall dealer have even seen one, let alone been in one, have worked on one, have any previous knowledge?
I worked for a ford dealer with a 18 bay shop and 4 truck bays in the back. We sold LOTS of trucks, normal work trucks. Spent a few years there, only saw one of those f650 super cruiser rucks. Only came in the shop for the new car checklist. After that never saw it again. You say good, it doesn’t break(I’ll remind anyone it was too new to break much just yet).
Last I knew they had the same power joke ford invented diesel the 250/350s has, could be wrong about that these days. Ford left international at the turn of the century to make their own motor, mistake not soon forgotten if you ask me. Should have seen all the washed down cylinders and problems in 02/03 they had. What a mess they made, hopefully they’ve made it better.
