Ford F-250
Model Overview
The Ford F-Series is a household name in Canada, and not just for the light-duty F-150. The F-250 is the entry point to the Super Duty line of Ford pickups, whose reputation is built on next-level capabilities. To better stand apart visually, the F-250 gets bolder styling than the F-150, but it's available with a similar range of upscale features to turn a hard-working truck into a luxury vehicle.

Overall Score
If you are looking for a hard working reliable truck, this is it! Clean lines and smooth ride make this workhorse a pleasant driving experience. The 6.2l gas engine provides great power but is not exactly easy on fuel. then again it is a truck.

Notification Type:
Compliance Mfr
Certain decorative chrome door handle covers, sold as aftermarket accessories through Ford dealers, may affect compliance to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 206 – Door Lock and Door Retention Components. These accessories may cause the door handles to fail to conform to the inertial load requirements of the standard. A door handle fitted with a chrome cover could unlatch due to inertial loads during a side impact crash if the door were unlocked, which would increase the risk of injury. Correction: Covers will be removed from vehicles and owners will be reimbursed for parts and labour.

Notification Type:
Compliance Mfr
Certain vehicles equipped with 6.2L gasoline engines and 6R100 transmissions may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 102 - Transmission Control Functions and CMVSS 114 - Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention. The park rod actuating plate may have been damaged during manufacturing, which could inhibit transmission parking pawl engagement. If the operator were to move the shift lever to park, the transmission may not achieve mechanical park, which if the parking brake is not applied, could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect the park rod actuating plate and replace as necessary. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to use the parking brake whenever the transmission shift lever is in the Park position until the vehicle is repaired.

Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
On certain vehicles equipped with diesel engines, service replacement steering gears, installed after June 30, 2014, may not properly mount to the frame rail due to insufficient clearance. This could result in insufficient clamp load on the joints, which over time may cause fatigue of one or more of the steering gear retention bolts. If the steering gear bolts were to fatigue, one or more of the bolts could fracture, which could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install spacers between the gear and the frame rail to add clearance and ensure adequate clamp load to the joints.
