* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.
- Reliability (2)The 6.4L Power Stroke engine is historically problematic, frequently plagued by DPF issues, cooling system leaks, and expensive fuel system failures.
- Maintenance (2)Service costs are high due to specialized diesel components, and the 'cab-off' requirement for many engine repairs significantly inflates labor charges.
- Technology (2)Features like the integrated trailer brake controller were ahead of their time, but the basic infotainment and lack of modern connectivity feel very dated today.
- Comfort (4)The Lariat trim provides a surprisingly quiet cabin with spacious leather seating and dual-zone climate control that holds up well for long-distance hauls.
- Dynamics (3)While it offers immense towing capacity and stability under load, the unladen ride is predictably stiff and the 6.4L diesel engine suffers from significant turbo lag.
