Well Im posting this because I am sad to say that my fathers Ford F-250 "Craptor" has died. Its a 2004 F250 with the 6.8l Triton V10 and I can officially say it has to be one of the most reliable american made truck ever.
It has 339,710 miles of which were extremely hard driving. This truck has been through a lot and never once broke down until this last friday.
Here is the only pic I have of it.
It died when we were turning a corner. Not sure exactly what happened but it blew a valve or something of that sort because it was "knocking" and idling rough and had no power. Other than regular maintenance we have not done anything mechanically to it. Were taking it to the dealer to see what the problem but if it is anything more than a couple grand we will give it back to my fathers company and get another work truck. It was a great truck and we will see what happens. Definitely the amount of reliability that this truck had would make someone buy another ford.
