The Ford Super Duty family is all about showcasing extreme strength, both on and off the worksite. Both the F-250 and the F-350 do this with a multi-engine lineup, giving you a chance to customize your work truck’s performance to fit your unique needs.
As far as available powertrains go, the 2023 F-250 and the F-350 both offer a standard 405-horsepower 6.8L gas V8 engine. However, that’s just the first of four available engines. The available engines include the 7.3L Gas V8, the 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel, and the 6.7L High Output Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel.
The High Output engine will give you up to 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque.
You’ll also find the same transmission in either truck. Both the F-250 and the F-350 are paired with a TorqShift® G 10-speed SelectShift Automatic® transmission with five selectable drive modes, including:
- Normal
- Eco
- Slippery
- Tow/Haul
- Deep Sand/Snow
Towing and hauling are considerable advantages to purchasing a truck. The Ford F-250 and the Ford F-350 offer impressive towing and payload capacities, so you can bring with you whatever you might need.
While what’s under the hood of these Super Duty trucks is the same, when it comes to capability, there are a few differences to note. You’ll find standard conventional towing features on both the F-250 and the F-350 as well as an available gooseneck towing package. Since there are two options for towing, the F-250 and the F-350 have different maximum towing metrics.

The Ford F-250 easily gets the job done. However, if hauling is a large part of your job description, you can also make use of the whopping 8,000-pound payload capacity of the Ford F-350.
