Picking Your Performance
There are three engines to consider when you begin looking at the specific Ford F-250 you want. Each is responsive and delivers ample power whether you're slowly making your way across a worksite or are trying to pass someone on the highway.
The 6.2L V8 is up first and generates 385 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. There's also the 7.3L V8 that makes 430 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque.
The most impressive in terms of raw output is the only diesel of the group, a 6.7L Power Stroke®, reaching 475 horsepower and a robust 1,050 lb-ft of torque.
Transmission pairings for the truck include a 6-speed automatic and a 10-speed automatic.
Maximum Towing and Payload
