Worst Ford Models (Too Expensive to Repair)

The Ford F-250 is a durable vehicle, but even it comes with a range of issues for its owners. The main problems are related to the transmission, often requiring a complete rebuild or full replacement. Unfortunately, serious engine issues are also common. While it shares many components with the reliable F-150, the F-250 hauls heavier loads, putting extra strain on the engine and leading to breakdowns.

Electrical issues are also unavoidable. The alternator, starter, and vehicle control system can make it difficult to operate. Owners report suspension and body problems, including a tailgate that won’t close, rattling bushings, and failing struts.
