Consumer Review Video - 2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT 6.4L V8 Turbo Diesel Standard Cab Pickup
The 2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT is a relatively easy truck to maintain, and a good choice for the average truck owner. Checking the transmission fluid level is easy to do, as the fluid dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay. Not every model includes this dipstick. Changing the engine air filter is no problem, as you only have to disengage a few fasteners for reliable access to the filter. These fasteners are easy to disengage. Changing the front wiper blade is easy to do. Other models will require the use of tools for changing your blade, so it’s a nice touch to be able to change this blade with just your hands.
Some things are more problematic to maintain on the 2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT. You will have to lower the tire from under the vehicle for reliable access. The lowering mechanism can grow rusted to the vehicle over time and be difficult to turn. To access the tail lights, you will have to take the housing out of the vehicle first. This will require some tools you may not have readily available for a repair. Replacing the center brake light will require a few tools. Other models make this bulb an LED light, meaning you will have to change it more often on this vehicle.
