The headlights on all the new ford f-250 trucks are dangerous to everyone that has to share the road with these big trucks. I can spot one from a mile away because i'm suddenly blinded by the four super bright headlights and then some idiot have there fog lights on also. I have nearly ran off the road multiple times when meeting these trucks oncoming. What is it going to take to make ford fix this dangerous problem?

I bought a used 2012 f250 four wheel drive that had no dome, cargo, or map lights but everything else worked normal.

Rumor has it that these trucks leak water from windshield or firewall. I paid 650 to have it replaced.

I even drive a pickup so this isn't just a complaint from some person who hates…

New f250 pickup trucks have four headlights showing at all times when operated in high beam or low beam. This gives other drivers the impression that high beams are being used at all times, which can lead to other drivers flashing their high beams at f250 drivers in an attempt to make them dim their hibeams. How were the headlights for these vehicles certified for highway use.
