The newest vehicle I have owned is my 1999 Ford F250 super duty. As far as vehicles go its well built and has been very reliable.
But the triton V10 is underpowered and a horrible fuel pig!
I like the ride and the interior layout is stylish and nicely done. The new Fords look like crap on the inside. For years Chevy had a super interior layout and very stylish design, plus I loved their seats too! WTF happened to that? Oh ya never mind!
My 99 is one of the last years Ford had a good interior design and a decent body design that appeals to me.
It has had a few electrical bugs though. The main wire that supplies power to the ignition coils went bad and caused a fair amount of problems for a few weeks but when I converted it to propane I found a way to bypass and back feed that circuit without having to dissect a wire bundle the size of my arm.
It also has a bad habit of having the auto locking hubs freeze up and not engage when you need them. SO its get out and manually lock them in with a pliers just like the old system.
Still, providing a little old lady does not take the front off this one I will likely keep it to the end of its life.
However once the loan is paid in full that V10 comes out and my far more efficient V8 460 torque monster is going in!
It could power 8000 pounds of overloaded pickup pulling 12000 pounds of trailer at 75 MPH in overdrive and still get the same fuel mileage the V10 gets with an empty pickup and no trailer.
