A Cybertruck owner says that after driving a Cybertruck for a few months, getting back into his Ford F-250 initially made him think the F-250 was genuinely broken. However, after a few minutes, he realized this is how the Ford F-250 always drives.

Marcus Reno, a Cybertruck owner from Florida, says that driving a Cybertruck for a few months has left him incapable of enjoying any other vehicle.

Before buying a Cybertruck, Marcus was a satisfied Ford F-250 Super Duty truck owner. However, after months of exclusively driving his Cybertruck, he states that he doesn’t want to return to his Ford.

Marcus not only felt unhappy with his F-250, but going back to his Ford after months of driving the Cybertruck, he felt like the truck was broken.

However, Marcus says that after a few minutes behind the wheel, he recognized that this was the usual driving experience of the Ford F-250; he had simply been unaware of what he was missing until he experienced the Cybertruck.

The happy Cybertruck owner shared his experience in the CyberTruck group on Facebook.

He writes…

“I Thought It Was Broken When I Drove It—Something Isn’t Right.

It felt broken—archaic, clunky, and completely out of place. Noise, discomfort, and no ease of driving whatsoever.

This was my immediate thought when I jumped into another vehicle after months in the Cybertruck.

Seriously, I thought someone had swapped out my ride for an antique.

I jumped into the Ford F-250, something I’d previously used often, and immediately thought something had gone wrong. I was convinced someone had been ragging it out. But after a few minutes, it hit me... it was the same F-250 I’d always enjoyed. It wasn’t the truck, it was me. My whole perspective had shifted.”

Going from enjoying a vehicle to believing it’s malfunctioning represents a major change in perspective; nevertheless, Marcus notes that all Cyertruck owners experience this sentiment.

He continues to write…

“We hear it often. Cybertruck owners traveling and getting a rental car, instantly going, "What is this?" and "Man, I miss my truck."

Sound extreme? Sound silly?

Well, go ask any Cybertruck owner. They’ll tell you straight: it changes everything.

Even those beloved weekend cars, the exotics and sports cars that sit in the garage, it changes how they feel the second they get behind the wheel.”

Praising the Cybertruck so effusively, Marcus acknowledges that he may come across as a fan-boy; however, for anyone who has doubts, the satisfied Cybertruck owner suggests taking a test drive in a Cybertruck.

Marcus continues to write…

“Still think it’s a little fan-boyish or overdramatic? Go take one for a two-day test drive. You’ll think, “This is cool.” But imagine owning it for a month or two and getting used to that experience. Then, try going back to something else, and you’ll quickly realize: all other vehicles—they all feel the same, but not the same as a Cybertruck.”

Finally, Marcus lists some of the features he loves about his Cybertruck.

The satisfied Cybertruck owner particularly highlights the Cybertruck’s revolutionary variable-gain steer-by-wire steering system, the air suspension with 14 inches of travel, and the rear wheel steering.

Marcus continues to write…

“The drive-by-wire, the 4-wheel steer, the air suspension—just part of it. It’s the whole package, and there’s no denying it. It has revolutionized the driving experience.

Similar to Marcus, a lot of Cybertruck owners say they can no longer enjoy driving any other vehicle after being in a Cybertruck for a few months.

For many Cybertruck owners, the switch from traditional trucks to an EV isn’t just a matter of innovation—it’s a shift in how safe and in-control they feel behind the wheel. That sense of modern security can make the world outside feel unusually chaotic. Torque News Editor-in-Chief Armen Hareyan experienced this contrast firsthand in an unexpected way during a routine test drive of the 2025 Nissan Murano. Everything was calm - until a 2015 Nissan Altima suddenly rear-ended me while I was stopped. The crash was minor, but what stood out was how the Murano absorbed the impact and how vulnerable older vehicles can feel in contrast. The link in this paragraph has the full breakdown of what happened, and why moments like this highlight how far vehicle safety—and driver confidence - has come.
