Vehicle Description
2017 Ford F250 4x4 FX4 Crew Cab Long Bed
"We have well documented love for the F-series. We're borderline
obsessed with the hyper capable F-150 Raptor, and the F-150 line
earned our recent 10 Best Trucks and SUVs full size-pickup award.
Meanwhile, the Super Duty has drastically improved upon every
selling point that Ford was going after when it first debuted,
reasserting its position on the heavy duty throne.". This little
tidbit is part of Car and Driver's rave review of the 2017 F250,
and the internet is replete with similar high praise.
For consignment, a 2017 Ford F250 FX4 4x4 Crew Cab long bed, with
all of the bells and whistles including a locking tonneau cover,
lift kit, and Mickey Thompson tires. The tow rating exceeds 10,000
pounds with this beast so whether you need a work truck or family
adventure vehicle that can take a sizable trailer, look no further
than this black beauty.
Exterior
No fancy name for the color. This truck is black on black, but
there's plenty of chrome around to break up the inky sea. Take the
massive front fascia, a virtual freight train of a truck, with wide
bands of plastic chrome on the grille and a gaping chrome bumper.
Smoked headlights create a slightly sinister look and enormous tow
hooks poke their shiny curves out next to the fog lights. 20-inch
chrome wheels carry 35x12.5R20LT tires and several inches are added
to the height on top of these big wheels and thankfully, a running
board assists in the entry and exit. The tires carry a late 2020
date code, so that's an expense you won't have to incur for a time.
A panoramic sunroof is behind a row of roof lights, required for
trucks more than 80 inches wide. A keyless entry pad lines the
door, a sliding window is on the back, and wide towing mirrors
extend the width of the truck. Imperfections include some
scratches, dings, and heat damage on the bed cover and a repaired
gouge on the cladding.
Interior
Chunky molded plastic door panels include big hand pulls, big
storage bins, ample armrest real estate, and a faux wood panel for
a touch of class. All the door panels are in great shape and serve
as the entry way into the big cab, with the help of A-pillar
handles. Inside, perforated black leather bucket seats split
between a massive center console. Are you seeing a theme here? The
back seats are accessed with their own full sized doors, and the
bench has seating for three. At least, that's how many seat belts
are equipped in the back where you could probably fit an entire
kindergarten class, and they'll have access to their own vents and
cup holders. The seats show minimal wear and the low pile black
carpet and mats that cover the floor also look great. The molded
plastic dash surrounds a pair of gauge and center info screen
displaying pertinent information while a large screen in the center
stack monitors the AM/FM radio with XM, Sync, and Bluetooth
capabilities and the screen also controls navigation and a number
of other functionalities. Illuminated USB ports are on the center
console along with cupholders, storage bins, and the large center
armrest that serves as the lid to a large storage unit. There are a
lot of controls on the overhead console as well, which sits in
front of the big sunroof. Please note that while the air
conditioning was working at the time of our drive report, we cannot
guarantee this system will continue proper operation in the
future.
Drivetrain
The F250 is equipped with a 6.7 liter Powerstroke Diesel with 440
horses and 925 pound feet of torque. Driving it all is the 6R140
TorqShift Automatic 6-speed transmission. There's a Dana M275 in
the rear differential and a Dana 60 up front. Naturally, power disc
brakes are on all four wheels.
Undercarriage
The big frame rails are clean while other parts of the underside
indicate use but not wear. It's generally clean and dry underneath
and we don't need a lift to point that out! Radius arm and coil
springs are up front while leaf springs are in back and the truck
has a Ready Lift Kit installed. The single exhaust flows through an
original equipment muffler then exits via a splitter tip behind the
right rear wheel.
Drive-Ability
Fellow 4x4 owner here so I'm no stranger to height and this thing
is way up there! The powerful diesel moves along with power
underfoot. The cab is surprisingly quiet and even the noise from
knobby tires on asphalt doesn't penetrate the control center.
Surefooted and comfortable, this big F250 instills confidence. As a
relatively new vehicle, all functions worked as expected.
Go ahead, make all the jokes you want about overcompensating. They
hate us, cause they ain't us, am I right, fellas? Who wouldn't want
a big capable ride that can do just about anything in every kind of
weather or road conditions. Yeah, we'll overcompensate by pulling
your Prius out of a ditch on an icy day, and bring the family along
to watch. If you need a solid work truck or family/boat/trailer
hauler, stop in or call about this long bed today.
