What happens if I "ride" my Ford's brakes?

Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.

How much can my Ford tow?

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1999 F-250’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform.

Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
