Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford F-250/F-350?
The power of the Diesel is great for towing.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford F-250/F-350?
The death wobble is out of control and after it being out of warranty for only 6 months, it's cost us $2000 to fix what they said they couldn't find under warranty. Upper and Lower Ball joints, Wheel bearing, Hub assembly, Right side front axle hub and seal, install cams and alignment.

2005 Ford F-250/F-350 Review:
This truck was fixed twice by Ford, once for the left wheel bearing and hub assembly at which time we were told it was fixed and they couldn't find anything more wrong with it.

The wobble continued and only got worse as time went by and with only 5k more kms on the truck now the whole front end on the right side is being replaced at OUR expense.

Contacted Ford dealership And Ford Canada and was told basically it's too bad for you, it's out of warranty and you can't prove it was faulty when we worked on it before so you're out of luck. Ford knows about this wobble in the front end and does NOTHING to help the customers who buy their products and keep them in business. What's wrong with this picture??

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford F-250/F-350?
This truck has tons of power. I have a controller and it really brings it to life although it wasn't lacking before.
Smooth ride and if driven right, can still get 18-19 mpg on the highway.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford F-250/F-350?
Like many others, the "death wobble" had shown up. As scared as I have ever been in an automobile.

2005 Ford F-250/F-350 Review:
After a simple fix, no problems. Great truck and my wife loves it more than I do.

Has a lot of power.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford F-250/F-350?
Get Ford to fix the dangerous front end problem. The death wobble happened to me 2 times now. Hate even driving it on the highway - way too dangerous. I'm gonna get killed or kill some other innocent person on the highway. Ford needs to really look into this problem and the fuel problem (loses power when towing).

2005 Ford F-250/F-350 Review:
Loved it in the beginning but little hard to now that it feels like a death trap on the highway.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford F-250/F-350?
The towing option, I pull my work trailer or camper going 70 to 85 mph and don't even feel the thing back there.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford F-250/F-350?
Why the cold starts and hard shifting of tranny at first start up of the day?

2005 Ford F-250/F-350 Review:
Am very pleased with the truck overall, heard a lot of bad press but so far for me, none as yet.

Have Ford admit that there is something wrong with these trucks and just recall them all.

2005 Ford F-250/F-350 Review:
Violent shake on the highway. Also know as the death wobble. Never buy one again. Way too dangerous to drive.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford F-250/F-350?
2005 Supercab with a 5.4l V8

It's not a GMC product OR a Diesel and some how still has all the power a truck needs. Kind of like when our parents used to buy trucks.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford F-250/F-350?
Stop selling them to college grads who buy them to try and "one up " there nieghbor.

2005 Ford F-250/F-350 Review:
If you don't find plenty to like in this truck, then maybe you should take those 24 inch wheels off , or better yet.....sell it to a man that knows how to use one and go buy a Nissan.
