Ford's Super Duty trucks were all redesigned for 2008, but just three years later the Blue Oval went back to the drawing board - releasing an all-new truck with new powertrains and styling cues. Though their model names suggest a close relationship with the smaller F-150 pickup, the F-250, F-350 and F-450 Super Duty trucks actually boast a unique, stronger chassis that allows for their Herculean payload and towing capabilities.
Occupying the entry-level slot in Ford's big truck lineup is the F-250.
For the latest model year, the Ford dropped the somewhat underpowered 5.4-liter V8 from the Super Duty line, with the new base engine being a 6.2-liter SOHC gas engine. This new standard engine brings 385 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque to the F-250 - an improvement of 85 horsepower and 40 lb-ft of torque. Also gone is the five-speed automatic, replaced with a new six-speed TorqShift automatic transmission.
Also gone for the latest truck is the short-lived 6.4-liter diesel engine, replaced with an all-new, in-house designed Scorpion 6.7-liter turbocharged diesel. This new range-topping engine produces 400 horsepower and 800 lb-ft of earth-moving torque - an improvement of 50 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque compared to the diesel engine it replaces.
The F-250 has a maximum payload capacity of 4,050 lbs and a towing capacity of 12,500 lbs, or 16,500 lbs with a fifth-wheel hitch when properly equipped.
Four trim levels of the F-250 Super Duty exist, starting from the XL, to the XLT, Lariat and King Ranch. At least at launch, the FX4 and Harley-Davidson models are not available.
The standard cab has a seating capacity of three occupants abreast, and there is the SuperCab and Crew Cab as options, both of which offer five or six seats, depending on if the front bench seat is ordered. The latter obviously does it in more comfort, and features power windows that go all the way down into the door. Buyers also get a choice of 6.75- or 8-foot long boxes on all but the Regular Cab, which only gets the long box. Four wheel drive is optional across the range.
The F-250 is available with Single Rear Wheels only: to get a dually, you need to move up to the F-350.
Key Competitors
Though brand loyal buyers of heavy-duty, full-size pickups seldom cross-shop their preferred vehicle with its competitors, those looking at the F-250 can nonetheless compare the big truck with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD/GMC Sierra 2500HD twins and the Ram 2500
