There is still a transferable engine warranty with 75,000 miles or 3 1/2 years left on rebuilt engine. Tires are 1 1/2 years old. Larger transmission oil pan. New twin turbos, new fuel pumps, new oil pumps, new water pump, new injectors, new air filter and system.

We absolutely love this truck. It is the perfect vehicle to tow a fifth wheel and is ready to roll! It ties perfectly!! We chose the gas engine because we only drove it about 7000 miles each year and mostly to tow our fifth wheel. With a supplemental gas tank it’s range between refueling is over 600 miles. This is a perfect vehicle for someone wanting to get into the fifth wheel RV world!!!

This van is build with simplicity and lots of thought; an RV that doesn't look like an RV from the outside. Two can travel and live in it with great drive ability,power and gas mileage and comfort ability. Great van for surfers and bicyclists also. I have both and there's room for both. Has trailer hitch also I had installed and never used . I also have motor cycle trailer for two available,Room for two motor cycles or multiple bicycles and huge place between to tow extra goodies, Great reviews from people that have seen it but its not your $100000-$200000 Class B. Great bang for the buck. Great slumber 2-3 ; food storing and cooking, concealed toilet, Rinse station with shower head for bathing and curtain set up..solar generator runs TV for up to 4 hours. Lots of clothing and do dad storage

Superb towing vehicle. The Powerstroke diesel is powerful, quiet and efficient, averaging 18-19 overall MPG, and 12 MPG towing a 6,500 lb Imagine conventional travel trailer. In addition to speeding up hills while towing, a big plus of the Ford diesel is the engine brake which controls downhill speed like a champ, saving on brakes and nerves. Towing features on our Lariat model are an integrated trailer brake controller, large, extendable towing mirrors, tow/haul transmission mode, extra heavy duty alternator, 3” hitch receiver, and a 10,000lb GVWR, allowing us to carry a lot of weight in the bed and not worry about exceeding any truck capacity. We opted for the 3/4 ton diesel over the half ton because we knew we’d be towing in remote areas with the trailer fully loaded with water, food etc. While half ton truck makers advertise massive maximum towing capacities, those numbers drop rapidly when you factor in tongue weight, people and cargo in the truck against the truck’s GVWR and maximum weight ratings for the front and rear axles and P-rated tires. The only areas for improvement on this truck are it’s wide turning radius (true for F-150 as well) and somewhat stiff ride when unladen. Livability and Floor Plan ratings are not applicable.

52,581 original miles, before I sold my 2014 Leisure Serenity motor home I towed this Ford Escape from Oregon City to Sun River area and back again. Johnson RV installs both the motor home hitch and installed all parts on the Escape. I chose the Escape after contacting Ford Service where I got the go ahead to use the Escape as a tow vehicle.

This F250 Super Duty Diesel Truck is equipped perfect for towing this Keystone 5th Wheel. B&W Companion, Firestone Air Bags, Rear Camera to hook up and another Rear Camera to watch behind the 5th wheel while towing.

You may have reviewed comments on the ‘reputation’ of this truck. I’m here to tell you there is at least ONE exception to to that reputation—and it is this truck. It has been our RV tow vehicle for the past six years, (second owners). We have pulled from 27’ to 32’ without any problems at all! Initially,we worried about it’s reputation so purchased an extended warranty for 5 years/100,000 miles. The five years is up and it has yet to reach 100,000 miles! Never had occasion to use the warranty! We did have an engine light come on but Imler Diesel in Sacramento resolved that to a manifold sensor to the EGR valve. The truck has had regular maintence including transmission and radiator service at Independent Automotive in Dixon, Ca. I just completed a round trip to Arizona and this truck averaged 18.8 mpg for the 1500 mile trip!

We are the original owners of this vehicle. It has been very dependable.

This is the first truck I have owned. I have already loaded up a quad in the back gone out in the bush and had zero issues. Looking forward to driving it around more.
