The Ford SuperDuty line covers a wide range of capable trucks, with a popular option being the F-250. It is offered as the XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum. It offers excellent towing and cargo capacity, loads of power, and a lot of features and benefits to give you a truck with a customized feel.
The key to any good truck is a good drivetrain. Ford offers two engine options with the F-250. First is the 6.2-liter gas V-8 carried over from previous years and providing 385 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. It?s rated to carry up to 7,680 pounds in the cargo bed. You can also opt for the 6.7-liter turbocharged diesel V-8 developing 440 hp and a jaw-dropping 925 lb-ft of torque. The diesel is a clear winner if towing is your primary use.
Truck design has come to the point where upper model trims can exceed the comfort and luxury of many high-end cars. The base interior cloth and vinyl is high quality, with leather available on higher trims including the legendary saddle leather on the King Ranch. The XL and XLT are normally considered the primary work truck choices, with the Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum more tuned to consumers who want luxury with an occasional trip to the hardware store. If you want Bluetooth, power windows and doors, and a CD player goes directly to the XLT. The Lariat adds the 8.0-inch infotainment screen, driver multi-function display, leather upholstery, and power-adjustable pedals. King Ranch brings heated and cooled front seats, the unique King Ranch upholstery, and loads of other features. Platinum throws everything at you including power running boards and available 20-inch wheels.
