2000 Ford F250 Super Duty Review Super Duty; a cocky name that brings forth thoughts of blasting through the mud, towing heavy loads and commercials with bucket loaders dumping several thousand pounds of aggregate into the bed from 10 feet above. With a baseline of some 500 lbs.-ft. of torque and a GVWR of some 12,000 plus pounds, who can argue that name? The Super Duty pickup is a high sitting, stout truck with an aggressive stance and antagonistic lines. With only a few minor changes to the line up this year such as four-wheel, anti-lock disc brakes, two new interior and exterior colors and power windows and door locks added as standard features to the XLT package, the Super Duty is a combination of creature comfort and sheer working status. Exterior What can we say but BIG? There is no mistaking the new styling of the Super duty series, with its immense size, the aggressive flares and high stance. The 99 ½ to 2000 model transition had no noticeable changes to the exterior, but the 98 to 99 exterior differences were dramatic nonetheless. Ford did add a set of semi-automatic locking hubs this year. The hubs allow you to drive around in “unlocked” or “automatic” position. The “automatic” position keeps the front-end disengaged until the driver engages 4-wheel drive from inside the cab. Our tests proved that this new feature works well and provided no problems during off-road testing. Interior Interior fit and finish rated about an 8.5 on a scale of 1 to 10 but its empirical ratings were much lower. Its cavernous interior allows for six large people and provides more than ample leg, hip, shoulder and headroom, both up front and in the rear seats. A standard illuminated entry feature turns the dome light and cargo light on and dual air bags keep the front seat occupants safe. Two standard 12-volt auxiliary “cigarette” plugs are handy, along with oversized center console / middle front seat. Everything about this truck is big. Shift on the fly 4-wheel drive controls allow the driver to engage 4-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive lo-range with a twist of the knob. The four large doors make entry for multiple occupants a snap, and rear leg, hip and shoulder room is equivalent to that of a large sedan. Four reading/ map lights are well placed and provide minimal interference with night driving. The driver’s seat offers a number of adjustments including lumbar support and the passenger front seat has similar adjustments to ensure everyone is comfortable. The dash, although all too familiar, is well laid out. All controls are well within reach and can be operated with gloved hands. The stereo system has a clear and crisp sound, but lacks in bass and distorts at high volume. The gauges are well positioned, easy to read and provide the driver with vital information in all lighting circumstances with minimal sunlight glare. The overall interior design and usability of the Ford hasn’t changed and is overdue for a makeover. Its lack of empirical features that help other manufacturers tip the charts won’t be found here. No compass, no automatic dimming rearview mirror, no premium sound are here and the list goes on. Engine The engine is comprised of a direct injected, 7.3 liter turbo diesel motor. The motor is a V8 by design, which helps with producing a bit more horsepower by nature, but advancements were needed as standard inline diesel motors tend to put out more torque. As stated previously, the motor exhales some 500 lbs.- ft. of torque and 235 horsepower. Dual batteries are standard for the diesel motor and dual alternators are an option. The motor provides great power through all RPM’s and the automatic transmission shifts crisply and without confusion. Additionally, Ford has added a good amount of sound dampening material to the firewall to help quiet things up a bit in the cab and has done a good job at it. Off Road Off the beaten path, the F250 Super Duty’s performance is a bit lacking. The live front and rear axles provided minimal articulation and the truck is a bit top heavy considering its length and width. We expected a bit more frame/bed flex than we saw but this is due to the heavy-duty boxed frame. Our wishes of having a full size rig with a live front axle did come true with a strapping Dana 50 located with leaf springs. This should make for easy lift kit installations.The off-road traction is better, however, than expected and attacked the steepest hills with minimal wheel slip and little effort. Putting the truck in 4-wheel drive, lo-range provided a fantastic compound ratio even with the 3.73:1 gear ratio. On Road On road driving is surprisingly pleasant for a 4-wheel drive and a pickup. With a solid front axle and leaf springs all the way around one would expect nothing less than a brutal ride. Not so however, the F250 Super Duty soaks up all but the largest bumps and provides a firm, yet comfortable ride. The 4-wheel, antilock, disc brakes help to stop the big truck quickly and in a straight line. Additionally, the antilock system isn’t affected much by off road testing and high-speed washboard road driving.The Super Duty handles turns, corners and lane changes better than most full-size trucks and provides minimal body roll and sway. Final impressions Considering the Ford’s less than perfect off-road performance, we really like the big truck. Its intended purpose is that of towing, hauling and work and the off- road performance was much lower on the list of requirements we had. The interior space is immense and makes talking with your passenger nearly a long distance call.If you are in the market for a large truck with a spacious and comfortable interior, a truck that can handle well and tow, drag or haul just about anything you can think of, then the Super Duty is for you.

Please be aware that we are NOT PERFECT. We go to great lengths to make sure our ads are correct, BUT occasionally we do make a mistake. The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself or herself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgement solely. The seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with this vehicle prior to the close of sale. Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle. Folks, we don't mean to sound harsh, but we do sell used vehicles. If you want one in brand new condition then go pay anywhere from $20-60,000 or more at a new car dealer. We will make every reasonable effort to describe the vehicle, and we include many photos to assist in that effort. However, it is important to remember that these vehicles are pre-owned, not brand new. Therefore, minor items such as cigarette lighters, manuals, CD changer magazines, keyless entry remotes, etc. may be missing. And, as with any used vehicle, minor signs of wear may become apparent under close inspection. This may include small chips, light scratches or minor abrasions, wheel scuffs, and other indications of normal wear and tear. We cannot and will not be held liable or responsible for these issues. We Disclose our cars as much as we can, But don't forget you are bidding on a USED car. If you have any questions about the condition please feel free to contact us. We Sell At Below-Wholesale Prices And Cannot Provide Spare Keys Or Floor Mats Unless They Are Already With A Vehicle. Feel free to contact us if you need this information. We CANNOT Be Held Responsible For Expenses Or Repairs Beyond The Point Of Delivery. We say this for the simple fact that once you leave then what happens hundreds of miles down the road is out of our control. We do our best to make all our vehicles road-ready. In most cases we have already driven them 4-800 miles ourselves. Terms and Conditions Payment Options We accept the following payment methods: - Bank to Bank Wire Transfer - Cashier's Check/money order - Loan check from eBay Financing Center - Cash (in person) Vehicle Pickup & Shipping All shipping charges are buyer's responsibility. General Terms Now the fine print... We understand you are buying online, but with us you are not buying blind! We handwrite every single description. We provide 24+ high resolution pictures & we inspect and photo what you see and what you can't see. We'll also be glad to email you detailed, closeup pictures of any area you'd like to see more of. People ask us all the time what is the catch to our vehicles. They assume that the prices are low because there is something wrong with them. Nothing could be further from the truth! Our secret is simple...LOW OVERHEAD. We are an internet-only dealer. We do not maintain regular office hours or a large sales facility. We simply have a Mississippi bonded dealer's license, a storage lot, and a computer. Since we don't have dozens of mechanics, helpers, salesmen, secretaries, etc. on our payroll; we are able to sell at greatly reduced prices. You will notice that we sometimes go with private auctions. Our reasons are twofold...the latest scam is to send bogus 2nd chance offers to customers from a fake email address in an attempt to scam them out of money. With a private auction the scammers won't know who our bidders are so if you get a 2nd chance offer from us you will know that it is the real deal! In addition, we set our reserves to sell which upsets other sellers! In fact, sometimes we set our reserve $1,000 or more below what our cost is. This leads other sellers to email our customers and knock our product! We will provide the winning bidder, upon request, with a complete bid history including the usernames & bid amounts of all other bidders. All new or low feedback (under 5 positives) bidders must first email us for no other reason than just to make contact. This way we know we have serious bidders! If you don't make contact we will cancel your bid and black you out from future bidding. We do this to avoid the de@dbe@t bidders, so please respect our policy. If you have a rating of 5 or better you don't have to email us. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy our site and add us to your favorites, because you just never know when your dream vehicle will pop up!!! We've put this vehicle through our EXTENSIVE inspection process & can report it has a great ride & drive! We do our best to let you know of any/all issues we can find on these vehicles since you're buying sight-unseen. There are some hail dings on top mainly the hood. They aren't very noticeable though. That's about all we can think to nitpick. We may end up replacing the radio if we can't fix the band select. We cannot guarantee what gear ratio is in it or if it's limited slip, but it feels like 3.73s and we spun both tires out in testing. Someone had hit the bed stickers too hard with a pressure washer, so we added the later model FX4 stickers to give it a nice look. WATCH THE VIDEO. If you have any specific questions then don't hesitate to call us email us. Please understand we do our best to describe, in detail, every vehicle we offer to the Ebay public. However, if you have any hesitation during the bidding period, please obtain a Buyer's Inspection PRIOR TO PLACING YOUR BID to satisfy yourself. After the auction ends, understand you are the legal winning bidder of this auction and agree to all our Terms and Conditions. e sure and take a look at the book values on this vehicle (or any other we have for sale) before you bid. We stopped offering a built-in BuyIt Now option due to ebay's policy of letting anyone with an email address register a username. We had half a dozen de@dbe@t bidders in a row hit the BIN with no intention of paying. We do have a BuyIt Now price so give us a call if you're interested. Make sure you call us for more information on this vehicle. As always though, our reserve is THOUSANDS less than NADA value so bid early & bid often so you don't miss out! Don't be outbid at the last minute! With the eBay proxy bidding system all you have to do is enter the maximum amount you're willing to pay when you get ready to bid. Ebay will then automatically bid against other people for you up to that amount to help make sure you don't miss out. This saves you from getting sniped in the last few seconds of an auction by someone with a computer program. Don't try and bid in small increments at the last minute...go ahead & bid the full amount you're willing to pay then let eBay do the hard work! This vehicle is for sale locally so we must reserve the right to end the auction early due to local sale. However, once the reserve is met then we will let the auction run its course & sell to the high bidder. Now for the rest of the fine print... Terms of Sale Winning bidder MUST contact us within 24 hours of auction end and make arrangements for payment at that time. Balance due within 5 days of auction end. This is due to the large number of de@dbeat bidders out there. If no contact is made within 24 hours we reserve the right to re-list the vehicle, sell it to the next high bidder, or otherwise dispose of it. PLEASE arrange your own financing prior to bidding. De@dbeat bidders WILL receive negative feedback & be reported to ebay. Payment Must Be Made VIA Cashier's Check, Bank-to-Bank Wire Transfer, or Cash (in person). We must be able to verify funds prior to vehicle delivery. Generally we have almost all titles on hand. However, we sometimes buy vehicles that are dealer trade-ins where there is a payoff involved so the title may be delayed. Feel free to contact us if you need to verify we have the title on hand for a particular vehicle. All Titles Are Held For Up To 14 Working Days For Funds To Clear, Then Will Be Sent via Priority Mail. On Average, Titles Go Out Within a Few Days, But Occasionally There May Be Delays Beyond Our Control. We Cannot Accept Paypal, Credit Card or Escrow Payments. We're happy to help ARRANGE shipping however ultimately it is the buyer's responsibility to pick up or ship the vehicle. Let us know your zip code for a ballpark quote on shipping. Odds are you can save as much as half off the average online shipping quote depending on how much of a hurry you are in to receive your new vehicle. We can do this because most online shippers are not really shippers. They're really brokers who charge you hundreds of dollars to post your shipment on a site that all the drivers use to book loads. This site is not open to the public and charges a ridiculous monthly fee to be a member. We're now set up with them so we can offer you wholesale shipping charges without any markups or fees. We offer it solely as a service to our customers. However, even if you don't buy from us, we can still offer you this service for a small fee. If you leave near Dallas, Atlanta, or pretty much anywhere in Florida then we can get you a really good deal on shipping to those areas. If you prefer to fly in & drive home we'll be glad to pick you up at Jackson Internation Airport ("JAN"), the local Greyhound station, or the Amtrak Depot. Our business hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday-Friday (CST). Please arrange your flight times accordingly. We are more than happy to provide free pickup during normal business hours. We no longer will deliver vehicles after-hours or on weekends. Occasionally things pop up like a blown fuse or a headlight going out and after hours a mechanic isn't there to fix it. We will store your vehicle up to 90 days free, however you must provide full coverage insurance & pay in full. We will not be responsible for damage or theft while in storage here. Our insurance policy will not allow it. If you are not sure about something, Please ASK. Do not assume anything not listed is included. We reserve the right to cancel bids for excessive negative feedback. We reserve the right to end the listing if the vehicle is no longer available for sale. Please make sure that the contact information (email address and phone number) in your ebay profile is up to date. If you're email bounces back on us then we will block you from further bids until you call us. Occasionally we may call to verify a bidder is legitimate. If we can't reach you then we reserve the right to cancel your bid. Please do not bid on this auction unless you are serious about owning this vehicle. We spend approximately $150 per listing. This is how we make our living. All non-paying high bidders will be reported to Ebay. We are not one of those sellers who is afraid to leave appropriate feedback where it is due even at the risk of receiving it ourselves in return(one of the major flaws in eBay's feedback system). By placing a bid on this vehicle that meets or exceeds the reserve, you agree that you are making a binding commitment to purchase this vehicle. Your bid constitutes your agreement that any disputes which may (hopefully not) arise will be adjudicated in Hinds County, Mississippi. PLEASE ONLY BID WHAT YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY. IF THE RESERVE IS NOT MET, WE MAY CONTACT THE HIGH BIDDER TO OFFER THE SECOND CHANCE OPTION. Fees and Taxes MS Residents Must Pay The 5% State Sales Tax on all motorized vehicles (7% on anything else such as campers, travel trailers, etc.) and a $100 Title/Doc Fee. All Other U.S. Buyers Will Pay Their Own State Taxes Themselves In Their Home State. All other bidders pay only a $99 Documentation Fee in addition to the winning bid. This covers our costs for a notary, Fedex charges, and other paperwork. Louisiana, Canadian and other foreign buyers must pay a $149 Documentation Fee to cover the extra Fedex and other expenses associated with doing international (and Cajun) paperwork. We do have Mississippi temporary tags available if you desire one for an additional $50. However, we've sent hundreds of cars, trucks, and RVs all over the country without them & nobody has ever had an issue driving home. If you want one, LET US KNOW IN ADVANCE. We do not keep them on hand.
