Start Your Engines

The Ford F-250 offers three different engines for your specific needs. If you decide on the standard 6.2L SOHC 2-Valve Flex Fuel V8 engine, it accelerates with 385 horsepower backed by 430 lb-ft of torque to get tough jobs done. This teams up with the TorqShift® G 6-speed transmission.

Select the steely force of the 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel for jobs that push the limits. With 475 horsepower supported by a whopping 1,050 lb-ft of torque, it bears down under the pressure with absolute grace and power.

For consistent durability, you may want the 7.3L 2V DEVCT NA PFI V8 engine. It comes through with poise, using 475 lb-ft of torque to get your truck revved up and ready to go with 430 horsepower.

Use the TorqShift® 10-speed transmission with this engine. It allows you to shift among five Selectable Drive Modes, including Normal, Tow/Haul, Eco, Slippery, and Deep Sand/Snow. If you want to increase your options, pick up the TREMOR Off-Road Package that adds Rock Crawl mode to the mix.

Tons of Towing Capacity Choices

Mix and match the towing capacity you need with available options to increase the amount you can muster for big loads. Before we get to the mother of all Ford F-250 loads, let’s review the towing capacity for each engine.

If your truck uses the standard 6.2L engine, you can tow up to 13,000 pounds, but if you pick the 4x4 with this engine, it will haul a total of 14,000 pounds in certain trims. By using the 6.7L Diesel engine, you can tow a maximum of 14,000 pounds. In the F-250 4x4 with the 7.3L engine, expect to tow up to 15,000 pounds, which is the size of just one African bush elephant! Whew!

At the absolute highest level, you can haul up to a mind-boggling 22,800 pounds if your F-250 4x4 truck comes equipped with the 6.7L Diesel engine and pairs with the available 5^th-wheel/gooseneck hitch. The sky’s the limit as to what you dream up to tow!

Performance Tech Assists

Look toward performance tech options and packages to get the job done right with your pickup truck. To optimize your towing vision, add the available Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System with Pro Trailer Backup Assist™. It gives you exceptional features for a clearer view of what surrounds you when using your trailer.

Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ provides a knob to turn in whichever direction you want your trailer to go when you back up. While you back up, Trailer Reverse Guidance shows you an expanded view of your back end and provides guidelines to help you steer your truck and trailer in the right direction, even with the available gooseneck hitch.

Several different cameras, affixed to your F-250, increase your ability to avoid collisions and maneuver with ease. You can view 180-degree and 360-degree images and even plant a camera wherever you see fit onto your vehicle.
