The Good, The Bad After 50,000 Miles: 2017 Ford F250 Super Duty Lariat PowerStroke Diesel FX4 Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Here is a 50,000 mile review of my 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty Powerstroke 6.7L Diesel Lariat Crew Cab FX4 SWB Truck. This loaded Ford F250 truck review will cover the best and worst features included plus features I wish I would have added. You'll see some of the highlights including the panoramic sunroof, 360 degree cameras, ambient lighting, power telescoping & power folding mirrors, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and even a built-in safe!
A couple of the custom items I've added are the Lund trifold soft tonneau cover and BF Goodrich T/A2 tires. Other than that, this truck is stock!
This truck is used for my business and to transport my family. Hauling tractors to and from customers is a primary function and it has a bumper pull trailer on it most of the time. I do plan to add a gooseneck trailer this year. If you're in the market for a tractor, then please shop www.goodworkstr.... Thanks for watching and SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL!

My 2017 F-350 is exactly like yours except for being a 1 ton and long bed. We use it to tow a 12,000 lb 29 foot 5th wheel. A year ago we did a 14,000 mile five month trip to Alaska and Canada without any trouble save a broken windshield. I have had trucks all my life, this is the best , and since I am 70, my last. I doubt I will ever outlive this truck. Nice review, I agree with all you said. These are wonderful and powerful trucks.
I have a 2017 F250 FX4, 6.7 diesel, crew cab short bed and i love the truck. One of the most reliable, dependable vechikes I've owned, even more reliable than my POS '04 Toyota 4 Runner. Powerful, great road trip machine, invincible in cross winds, head winds, steep mountain passes, quiet, and roomy.
Honestly the Michelin stocks I’ve run 9hrs in freezing rain coming across Canada no issues I love em
you forgot about under the back seat...it locks and can hold a rifle. Great job.
Great description details - well described - good pace and very good video
Thank you Michel! I appreciate the feedback!
The button is to keep the interior lights off when you open the doors and also if you pull out on the 4x4 shift knob it locks the rear differential just fyi. I have an f250 2017 6.7 platinum and absolutely love it !
Love this truck I have f250 2017 king Rancher it’s very nice handles great drives very smooth..man I just love Massage seats in all its must have its best order one from Ford. Turn ratio is awesome..
I never take the keys out of my ignition, I lock them in and use the code to lock and unlock the truck. I love it
Haha, I do use the keyless entry fairly often as well. Especially when I'm out hunting.
Factory gooseneck 5th wheel prep is worth the money as well.
We have almost identical trucks, same color inside and out Lariats and almost the exact same spec. The only difference between our trucks is mine's a 2018, I personally tune it myself, and i have BLIS but not adaptive cruise. You have Adaptive cruise but no BLIS. Everything else is the same even down to non heated rear seats. I love the 360* cam system it's saved my butt a few times! I wish like you said, we had LEDS! I also want Adaptive cruise, and heated rear seats. My uncle who is a GM of sales at a Vision Ford said "when do you ever sit in the back seats?" True sales man lol! I will say I love the BLIS! It works great even with a trailer! Little cars can easily hide sometimes and It extends it's range for your trailer, up to 32ft of trailer if i remember correctly. When ever you are looking for a new truck give me a shout, my uncle can get you a great deal.
hello fellow Michigander. I just bought my first F250, a used 2019 XLT. So far I love it, not all the bells and whistles that you have but it pulls my 7,000lb trailer well.
Awesome! Stay healthy!
Thomas Moore have you had an issue with your inverter? I plugged in my labtop and getting a flashing yellow light, my inverted fuse is good under the hood , too
The botton allows you to open the doors without the dome lights to come on. Good video btw
Love how you keep your cash in the consul tray and your hat in the locking safe......lol.... I just bought a 2017 lariat 350 the other day ....I love it....
I most the time after a 12 hr shift have a soar back, heated seats are nice for back issues
I agree! I've turned mine on specifically for that reason!
You need to update your Sync 3 software. They have updated it, so that the heated steering wheel button is now located on the main homescreen right under your phone info.
That’s really a nice truck Courtney! Good review of it! Glad you got it back. Are you happy with the repairs made on it. Have a good weekend.
were looking for another diesel ram 1500
Yes, I love this truck Jason. A few little options I wish it had, but it's pretty well loaded up and never short for power. I am happy with the repairs, Gerber Collision did a good job on it. Hope you have a good weekend too!
I traded in a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel towards this truck. I enjoyed the EcoDiesel and it got great mileage, but it lacks severely for towing power. If I recall, somewhere around 8,000 lbs? If it weren't for that, I'd probably still have it. Thanks for watching!
Love the power extend feature on mirrors!
Cool auto open tailgate! Never seen that before! Cool safe! Wasnt aware of that option. That's sick.
The safe is super cool! Really, all those features are. I'm spoiled.
@@GoodWorksTractors
Me too... :)

I'm sure someone's already said it, but I don't feel like scouring the comments, lol. Anyway, the lock by your license plate is to remove the cover for your spare crank to lower your spare tire, should you get a flat. Prevents people from stealing it. As for the extra features; one I recommend looking at after-market for (regardless what brand vehicle you buy) is auto-start. The auto-starts that come in vehicles from dealers are about as cheap of an auto-start package as you can get, so they typically have terrible range and reliability, but make sure you can get one that will work with it, first. Had an after-market installed in my 2004 F150 and I can start my truck from over a mile away, or more useful for me; I can start it from my station at work, which is inside a metal sided building. With the factory one I'd have to be standing within 50 feet with nothing between me and the truck except maybe a window. I also get a confirmation that it received the signal and started or not. Just be sure to confirm that there are compatible ones for the vehicle, and I believe you have to get the vehicle without a stock one, as the stock system interferes with the after-market ones, I've heard. I would recommend the radio receiver, as well, but I don't know of any that support all of the extra features. Love the after-market stereo I installed in my 2004, though. Way more responsive than my dad's 2015 stock one.
Mine will start my 2018 6.7 from inside my office building and 250+ yards away (deer hunter's yardage estimate). I didn't bother to activate the web service.
On the 4x4 nob you can pull on it and it locks the differential
I have the same truck, but a 2016 version. Same color and all. My first diesel. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. LOVE it. My dream truck. How tall is your garage door? Eventually, I’ll want to upgrade to the newer body style. I hear it’s taller though and I’m also concerned about it being garaged. No way I’m parking a $70k truck outside every day.
getting my first diesel tomorrow how is it holding up especially with the presidential change…
The lock thing on the back is you unlocking with your ingintion key to lower your spare tire under your truck.
the key lock on the back is access to the spair tire drop beautiful truck I have the same in blue jean metallic
Thanks Joshua!
The button on the top is for the light under your door that shows up at night when you open your door.that button is to turn it on and off
good video, in the market for a f250 or f350 crew cab, love the truck, FYI that button you didn't know what it was on the roof of your truck when you were playing with the lights was to shut off your interior lights when you open the doors
You should wait for the 2020 since a new more redesign engine is coming out.
My excursion has temp and fan blower controls in steering wheel. Love it.
That's interesting and convenient!
Don't know if you have it but supplemental cab heat is a must have for cold weather states. Another ford only feature.
Yes sir, good call! I forgot to mention that, but I do have it! Fortunately, mine stays in a heated garage, but for the times when it's been sitting oustide for awhile, you definitely notice it!
The lock on the rear number is the lock did your spare tire so it won’t get stolen.
Great vid. I am shopping for a used 2017 Lariat or KR and this helps a lot. Better than trial & error in front of a used sales guy who knows little. So many bells and whistles - choosing ambient light colors in a 3/4 ton 6.7l diesel? I won't show my truck friends that!
great video and love the truck waiting to pick my up as we speak .....lol can't wait
Great video, thanks for taking the time to explaining things.
I have 60 000 on my 2017 f 350, what an awesome truck ever.my only regret is I would buy every option avaliable next time .no problems so far .
You have a Super Duty, run Deere and support the 2nd amendment. Man after my own heart.
Amen, brother.
Love your tractor reviews and Ford SD also. That key hole to the right of your lisence plate is a spare tire cap, removes to access your spare tire connection. I would change the oil at the 5k interval's or manufacturer recommendation. Crusial on diesel fuel injection systems. Great video 👌
Random comment, the Bluetooth technology is changing frequently it is hard for the automotive manufacturers to keep up
Nice review. Yeah, I can’t believe they sell the new Super Duty trucks without the quad beams...like other have said, the lock on the back bumper is for your spare tire. Also the button you weren’t sure about is to cancel the interior lights while doors are open. The truck color is Magnetic. Also...I learned this on a 2016 F350, don’t go cheap on your bed cover. That is why it catches the tailgate occasionally...
That lock is to access the hole for lowering your spare tire.
If you dont want to spend the few grand to put the quad beam LED head lights in then you could always go the inexpensive route and get LED lights to replace the halogen bulbs
The reason why the passenger side mirror folds and unfolds quicker is because it doesn’t swing out as much as the passenger. If you stand in front of the truck and look at both mirrors at the same time you will see the difference.
Had no idea, but I'll take a look!
What was your thoughts on the cummins/ram you had in comparison to the ford
That button keeps the lights off when you open the doors.
Same truck only 2011 and 214,000 miles. No problems, only consumables like tires, brakes, batteries, fluids etc.
That "button" cancels out the interior lights when you open the doors...
Great looking truck. Did you do a leveling kit on the front, or is is factory height?
factory
I just bought a 2018 with 10,122 miles I'm retiring out the military in 2 months this was my retirement present to myself.
What size tires did you put on?
I'm not replacing the rim's but these stock tires must go!
Congratulations, happy retirement.
Congrats! Same size as stock. Larger would rub without a lift. These rub my mud flaps when turning.
Diesel truck and concealed carry. My man!
Nice review and beautiful truck sir! Also everyone says those stock Michelins throw rocks like no other. So great upgrade with the all terrains.
Thanks Josh! There wasn't much to like about those Michelin's unfortunately.
11:45 just let the ol tailgate slam like the good days 13:45 I wouldn’t want it so when it’s really cold in the winter when the truck is older I can crank on it to get it started or if I had to do fuel lines it wouldn’t just spin over for a little bit then stop. Manual turning keys just give the operator more control over the machine and I prefer that
Hmmm, Bluetooth, eh? Maybe that's why my 2015 Platinum F150 won't allow my phone's speaker to work on truck's speakers. It connects, can dial, but only phone speaker. I check. Yeah, GM always seems soft to me. Good trucks, but different. What is it with still using long antennas? Even my 2006 Camry doesn't have that mess. Don't we just love trucks? That's all I want. A truck. Heck, I'll take two. Couple ridiculous things: heated steering wheel thing like you said, and USB ports stuck way down inside so hand cannae fit to plug in!
That lock in the back should be for your spare tire. Ps the reason why I know I have a Ford also lol
Josh Riddle It’s not should be, it is for the spare tire, and PS I own a Ford SD too
My 2015 f250 6.7 diesel with 67000 miles on it , why don’t you ask me if I would buy it again and that’s a big fat no !. Had to replace the Water pump, radiator, had major oil leaks, Def tank heater been went out , in the shop 4 times , lucky it was under warranty because each repair would have been in the many thousands 🤷🏾♂️.
Now the warranty is over and I don’t really trust the truck.
2017 and newer are totally different from your generation. I still have my 2017 without any issues, had a 2018 that I just traded on a 2021 as well. Love the Super Duty's. Been very reliable for me overall.
Nice truck! I just became a first time truck owner with a used Ford Ranger mostly for weekend hauling. Been curious about the larger trucks for down the road. This in depth review provided a lot of information and things to consider. I also love the integrated safe. Never knew of such a feature. Especially useful for conceal carry for those of us in restrictive states as you pointed out with the IL example. After market options for that purpose just don’t seem to work as well as what the Super Duty provides built in.
Thanks David! Congrats on getting into the truck world. You'll start to have your friends and family asking for help moving stuff around now, haha!
The safe is super cool. I lucked into my local dealer having a truck on the lot with that option. Doesn't seem like many of them do. Thanks for watching!
The Sirius doesn’t go through the antenna on your hood that’s just for am fm
To hell with paying all that money for 2 1/2 gallon def. Just go to the truck stop and fill up. IT's a whole lot cheaper than those containers. Or just delete it if you can. Some states have serious checkpoints for that.
Hey thanks for the great video I also own an F-350 with a 6-inch Lift Lariat and I am loving it so far I just noticed I am having troubles with my Bluetooth what is it that they do to repair it please thank you
You could put a true Air ride suspension on your truck to get a little more door clearance from Kelderman mfg. Have them add a dump valve to lower your truck. Check aftermarket for led headlights. You can fill up at Truck Stops most have a second pump at the fuel Island for DEF. I think that switch you don't know what it does cuts off your dome lights with the doors open.
Some great ideas. Thanks for sharing them with me!
@@GoodWorksTractors I have spinal injuries I have been looking at getting a Super Duty with Air Ride Suspension. They actually remove the current springs and replace them with Airbags on the front on the rear it is a little more work. It ends up looking like the same suspension that is on a over the road semi truck.
You can get the side step line x looks good and super grippy I have it on my Tacoma
2017 block heater recall no fix from the company yet
Amazing truck the 2020 one coming out with redesign engine and new 10 speed transmission as well as the put led lights in the back and redid the front ones. You should check it out.
I went for a test ride in a 2017 Ford F 250, a bit rough of a ride and it was funny when dealer went also and bounced out his seat as I came into a bumpy parking lot. A few things why I didn't buy was it didn't have step in the tailgate. They only offered me 15,000.bucks for my 2008 Chevy 1500 LTZ with less than 60,000 miles. So back to a 2018 Chevrolet 2500 HD 4x4 and couldn't be happier
I can't recall a Ford I've looked at in quite awhile that didn't have the integrated tailgate step. Most do unless maybe it's a real plain jane model. Doesn't seem like that's what you were looking at though. Maybe just an odd one.
No doubt they have a stiff ride. GM rides much smoother. Thanks for watching!
Very nice truck and excellent overview! Do you have a feel for the "real" depreciation of your F250 if you were to trade it in on a new 2019 or sell it outright?
When I purchased mine, it was with almost no discounts, maybe $1,500. I now see some advertised (if I'm willing to travel) up to $10,000 or more. So, that hurt me. I think they are holding their value as I've been shopping for used and new for a second truck. I just didn't buy it at a good price to begin with being they were so new and didn't need to offer any incentives for customers to buy when I did.
@@GoodWorksTractors Yeah, there were no discounts back then. Hell, you had to look hard to find a truck available. I had to go to dealers and look for trucks that had just come in and had not been prepped. I commend your color choice. I peeled the FX4 stickers off, though (yech!). Glad it kept you safe during the accident.
That key in the back bumper releases your spare tire .
My brother in law just bought a 2017 XLT white Super Duty crew cab Fx4 with 74k miles m, super nice 4:22
Great video. It would have been a bit better of a viewing experience without the graphic in the upper left hand corner though.
Sorry to hear about your accident I was rear ended in a 2018 transit van 350 power stroke turbo diesel I am fine also I was by myself and I went to the hospital and I got about 6500 to repair it but mine wasn’t anything that I repaired I kept the money but my little brother some stuff by myself a Dodge truck the weatherstripping issue I wonder if you couldn’t take the weatherstripping off your garage and put it on the floor where it meets the garage door
That's a good idea, wonder how it would work in the real world?
Beautiful truck ..Semper Fi
I’m new to the channel, do you ever film these hunts you talk about?
Haha, no, but I have good intentions of doing so!
Reference your center console safe when not in Michigan, I believe if you have a firearm in it, the law states that you have to have your weapon in a locked compartment yes, but it also has to be "UNLOADED and Not Accessible" to the driver. Illinois does NOT recognize conceal and carry from ANY state. Just an FYI brother.
Nice truck bro, good choice in the color as well.
Nice truck new to the channel like the video's I've seen thanks
Thanks for following along Benjamin!
I'm very annoyed that I just bought a 2017 platinum and did not come with 360 camera. Would've been a nice feature for me since I have 3 kids and always gotta be extremely careful when backing up. Always thought the platinums came with every option out there. Great video btw
Super Duty, Super Nice. I like it.👍👍👍
Me too, thanks for watching Dean!
Good job
Awesome review of your big rig!
I bet that lock is for your spare tire! I love my 02 excursion with a 7.3.
It's smart you mentioned that you are 6'3" after you invited everyone to call April - LOL.
They replaced my def tank as recall and I have the 10 gallon tank
They also replaced my fuel tank from a 25 gallon tank to a 35 gallon but the fuel gauge is not rite
The key is for your spar tire
Is yours a 2017 F250 also?
It’s a 2017 350 platinum
Michigan! Heck ya. Ann Arbor area here
Go Blue!!!
I have the weather tech floor liners and the rear ones don’t fit that good. The liner seems to be a 1/4 inch to wide between center console and the under seat storage.
Get the Husky X Act Contour floor liners they have a super nice soft and grippy rubbery feel to them and the fit and finish is perfect front and back. MUCH better than the weather tech hard slippery when wet plastic.
Is your adaptive cruise control off until you turn it on, or always come on after 45 mph or whatever?
It is a setting, so it's either adaptive or standard. I don't think speed matters that I've noticed so far.
It's a really great feature that functions very well.
@@jeffreyallan2545
My wifes '18 accord hybrid has these bells and whistles. Yesterday it was keeping the distance I set behind a vehicle up to my cruise control number it was set at, and a car pulled in front of us. On the dash it flashed "brake" and it braked automatically. Kinda cool. Steers itself too. But I wouldnt rely on any of it 100%
Might be a stupid question.. can you plow with the panoramic sunroof? I’d think it wouldn’t matter because it’s not unibody, but I can’t find an answer anywhere
Fixed running boards look cheap and make your truck look like wise. The morimoto headlights are around $1,600. You want my old OEM LED’s off of my 2019 Limited not a scratch on them $750
Great Video, what kind MPG do you get ?
Thanks Neil! With a full trailer around 14-15 mpg, no trailer at 70 mph is about 18-18.5 mpg unless there's a headwind.
Thanks
The lock in the back is to access the spare tire
I will say that I have a 2017 lariat fully loaded at least as much as I can get on it. It is awesome I did have a leveling kit put on it and then I put some bold team shocks which made it ride amazing. It’s a must do is to put on new shocks the ones that come with their shit.. you can do it yourself it’s so pay to have them put on..
Yeah I instantly put bilstein 5100 on mine right away those ranchos are garbage haha also I change my oil and fuel filter everytime at 10k same as my 2012 6.7 witch has 250k on it now and worked out of daily, it was fully deleted at 100k on it and only thing I’ve done to it mechanically was put the newer 6.7 turbo on it at 200k miles besides that the truck ain’t ever had a problem , the newer ones are the same truck with just a updated cab and my lariat fx4 is the nicest vehicle I’ve ever had besides the wife’s 16 Escalade that thing is plush but we take my truck most places still...
Leveling kit and 37” tires and these trucks are perfect actually I’ve owned lots of vehicles chevyduramaxs dodges the Ford is by far best truck in my opinion but dodge is right behind them if dodge would fix there emissions systems the way the fords are I might would try one next time..
That picture says door open lights off meaning when you open your door the interior lights don’t come on
Have you had the so-called “death wobble “?
Getting the "death wobble" fixed today on my 2017 F350. Dealer said they have seen a lot of it.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
@@GoodWorksTractors I am curious, how are the rattles with the truck after 50k miles? I have a 14' Chevy 1500 and rattles are starting to get loud.
I know the rattles you're talking about. My old 2007 GMC 2500 Duramax was a rattle box. Not a single rattle so far on this one which I'm very happy about!
@@GoodWorksTractors Yep, back seat is rattling. Front cushions squeak when going over bumps. Sounds like a hanger for my exhaust is loose but I can't locate it... I've test driven the F250 and was happy but I might try to rent one for a few days to get a better feel before I spend freaking $70k on a truck lol
I was sooo close to signing the paperwork on a 2017 Denali Duramax and really glad I checked out the redesigned Ford at the last minute. I think they hit a home run with this redesign. Best of luck!
Maybe dome light cancel when open doors!
I'm thinking this is what it might be. I'm going to have to try it out next time I think of it!
I don't understand what you meant regarding the badge on the back. You said you wouldnt buy another truck without that option but what exactly were you referring too?
Hmm, I don't recall what that statement would have been made about.
@@GoodWorksTractors look at around 12:48 and you'll see what I'm curious about. You mention some sticker on the tail light or something. Thanks again
Oh yeah, the BLIS system. Blind Spot alert. Love that safety feature.
The lock is where you get your spare tire down.
TheDstein58 Good call. I thought about that when editing the video, but figured I'd let it run. Obviously I haven't needed my spare tire yet!
That little thing next to the license plate you put your key in it and it drop your spare tire
Yep, forgot about it.
You went to the dealership to have your wiper blades changed?
I went to the dealer to have service done. They addressed this issue while I was there. Turns out, it hasn't fixed the problem. I took a video two nights ago to show them it's back to doing the same thing. I think the motor needs to be replaced.
Look up Forscan and you can put that button on your home screen.
Which button? Heated seats?
I believe he's talking about the heated steering wheel button you have to dig for. Forscan allows you to change settings and believe this is one of the things that Forscan provides.
Hey what camera are you using?
Hey Courtney, quick question, can the 1025r dump over the bed rails? How about taking a pallet out of bed? Thanks.
Hi Vincent,
Yes a pallet with no problem. I think it will clear the bedsides, but it could be close. I'm 1,000 miles away from my truck at the moment though, so not able to measure lol.
Good Works Tractors enjoy your time away. Nice to see you and Tim joining up for a few videos lately when he picked up Johnny 2.0
Can you add or remove some features in a package or must accept what is in a package?
Hey man is there a wait to start light on these trucks?
Yes, if parked in cold weather, there's an automatic delay. You still push the button to start like normal, but then it delays automatically while warming glow plugs. Then starts.
@@GoodWorksTractors thanks man! I just bought a 17 and I wasn’t seeing one pop up like the older diesels! Guess it’s pretty much instant on these newer ones
Is that ceiling button for rear window light outside truck?
Does the extended warranty cover "Bumper to Bumper"? I thought it was only driveline/powertrain?
You can semi customize the warranties covering various things.
What do you think of it vs the rams?
You should be perfectly fine with that shorter antenna. The xm radio antenna is a separate unit it doesn’t use the am/fm antenna
