Default Good Thing we own F150's the F250 did not fair well

I'm very happy with my truck as far as reliability and comfort. For a while though I looked at F250's as my daily driver. I think I made the right choice given these JDP ratings:
Ford F250
Segment: Pickup Truck
CR Predicted Reliability Score: Poor
CR Value Score: Rated among the worst in overall value
CR Safety Score: Rated among the worst in overall safety.
CR Overall Score: 37 out of 100
J.D. Power Dependability Score: 3 out of 5 Power Circles

Here's the article:

Damn, that seems uncharacteristically horrible for a Ford.

The international diesels have EVERYTHING to do with that rating. The 6.0 and 6.4 liters are unbelievably unreliable. A 5.4 or 6.8 liter triton F250 is a nice truck. Ford's new 6.7 liter diesel should right the wrongs of 2003-2010.

The 6.0 were terrible but the 6.4 are awesome except for the bad mileage

wow where yall gettin your info from? all ive ever heard is exactly the oposite. nothing wrong with the 6.0 my grandpa has a f350 dually thats a DD and we hook up to cattle and hay all the time, but my unlce had a 03 7.3 that sucka was stout man. both great engines but i think the bigger displacement takes this one.

My friend has a F-250 with the V-10 gas motor, think its an 02 but dont know the year , he is a building contractor and his truck is close to 200K miles and despite working hard for a living its the most reliable thing he owns. Dont know why ford stopped making the V-10.
