I bought a used 2004 F-250 King Ranch from Lief Johnson and in a little over 1 yr. of ownership I've spent about $10,000 in repairs. They tried to charge me $6500 for repairs that I got done outside of their service center for $3500. Head gasket blew in West Texas shortly after I had rebuilt the transmission. I called asking for help and they refused. Then after writing a nasty letter to the General Manager, they offered to set me up with Ford rep. The Ford rep. and the GM of Lief Johnson refused to admit that this particular engine is a piece of trash and that they've had major problems with it. The rep also refused to assist me with any refund or repairs because I had taken it to mechanic outside of their service center which had already tried to overcharge me two grand previously. Ford knows that this particular diesel engine is a lemmon, but obviously won't own up to the problem. When the head gasket blew, the engine heat gauge never moved. I have never owned such a worthless vehicle in my life and never dealt with such a group of scam artist as Lief Johnson. The mechanics I've talked to all say that this particular model of diesel engine is one of the worst on the market. Don't ever do business with LIef Johnson and never own a Ford.
Cons: Unfriendly and discourteous sales. Unknowledgable service agents and unbelievable attempts to overcharge for repairs.
