2011 Ford F-450 consumer reviews

yes I have the 2011 F450 Guinee pig, as I call it. I have really had min. issues. One time the pressure box for the Turbo blew the ring off at the connection portion of it? Still don't know why, Bad mold? Turbo issue? They fixed it for fee, Now mind you my Truck is low miles owned straight from Factory. I currently have about 76000 miles on it. Not to long ago the engine light came on, I pulled over and looked under the hood. Everything was full, and engine light did not flash what was wrong nor looking at the computer part of the gages told me what was up. I figured I have an extended warranty my husband said drive it home. Drove it up to Ford. They ran their code on it. and the heating element for the DEF tank, was going out. It hadn't completely gone out. But going. That is 1000.00 fix thankfully my extended warranty covered it. with a 100 dollar deductible, July 5 I took it into Ford Quick Lane. had the oil and all the filters changed. I drove it up to Woodland Ca and back. Thankfully what happened yesterday didn't happen on the 10 hour turn around. I had to go get something Big so I pulled my truck up to wash it off. Turned off the hose. I could hear something running like a cow peeing of a flat Rock. I looked and about then it died. as a safety Code went off. I popped the hood, turned on the key aux and fuel was spraying out of the Fuel filter. and the cap seal portion. spraying is an under statement. It was coming out like a high pressure Hose with no end. Dumped a tank a fuel in a matter of seconds. Had it towed up to Ford. and They tried to give this spill of we had to order a part, and we will have to take off the manifold to get to a hose which is ran under the manifold. Ya they have plastic manifolds. Big Job as they said. I said well my truck better not have any issues after this. You guys messing with things under my hood. Oh it will be fine! No Fine isn't good enough. I want the engine compartment Degreased as well as the undercarriage. I better not have any issues with wiring components, Or any other damage due to the diesel spraying all over! So will see. I have not had but three things happen on this truck. Since 2011

Have a F450 V10 Triton Class C and it fulfills all that I need for self-contained living. I travel across country yearly and it is an extremely stable, economical and reliable performer.

This truck has surpassed all my expectations and more. It performs like new and it handles like a dream car. The ride is fantastic and as for work I couldn't ask for better. Maintenance has been very low cost do to it's dependability.

Excellent all around review however Ford failed greatly in the Exhaust braking department. I highly recommend Ford Engineers riding in 1 of their competitors trucks and feeling the difference in the exhaust brake systems. A button to activate the system at the drivers discretion is also the way to go vs. Ford's integrated system. Sorry boy's Im trading for the newly designed 2013 Ram 3500. .....

Too many good things to say about this truck to mention all, however Ford is still severly lacking in there exhaust brake system.

Monster of a truck. Best I have ever driven. More power than I will ever need. Blew the doors off a Duramax already. Dodge is next. Don't hesitate, buy this truck or any Ford for that matter.

I have purchased a 2011 F 450 Lariet with all the goodies. It is a pulling beast. I have several heavy duty trucks and I pull trailers loaded with farm tractors, livestock, hay and my 32 ft 5th wheel and the F450 has no problems. Stable and plenty of pulling power. Good stopping capibility and that is key for me with large loads. This super duty has a very smooth ride, much better than my older 3500 dully. The truck was a little pricey but time and continued performace will determine if the price was justified. I recommend the F450 if you haul and want some comfort.
