Thinking of buying the 2012 Ford F-550?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Ford F-550 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2012 Ford F-550, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
What to check on the F-550
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 19 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and equipment; have those parts checked. There are 18 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The figures, translated
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
A good match for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Space and size
As a car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A week with the F-550 answers more than any brochure.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
