Hello my fellow 6.7 fans. Just wanted everyone to know that the car issue of Consumer Reports magazine is out. I didn't read anything other than the 2013 F-250 rating. It rated poor in reliability (don't know why) and rated outstanding customer satisfaction.
PS I did doughnuts in a field after bow shooting this weekend. My truck is a mess.
I do agree with the general sentiment here about consumer reports. I’ve owned Lawn Equipment and Coffee makers where they rated them best and had issues with both. I don’t believe anything that they have to say about anything.
I think of the super duty differently than other vehicles. Call me old school but you can barely find a vehicle with metal bumpers. I will never drive a small compact car (despite reliability) and sacrifice safety. I'd be just as happy in a rebuilt Bronco.
The shear arrogance in their writing turned me off years ago as well. Their system of rating stuff does not account for the "it fits, it ships" mentality of truck users.....
I'm almost positive it's because they get worked,beat on,etc. Just look at the guys here that post blown out trans,etc. with such low mileage. Tuners,Huge lift kits,Oversize tires,etc.. And because of that they suffer damage. If they were just daily drivers they'd rate higher.
