When it comes to heavy-duty pickups, the Ford F-250 and F-350 are two of the most capable and impressive options on the market. While both trucks deliver incredible performance and utility, there are some key differences between them. Let's take a closer look at how the F-250 and F-350 compare so you can determine which is right for you.
| Ford F-250 Super Duty | Ford F-350 Super Duty | |
|---|---|---|
| Engine Power | 405 hp @ 5,000 rpm | 405 hp @ 5,000 rpm |
| Engine Torque | 445 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm | 445 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm |
| Engine displacement | 6.8 l | 6.8 l |
| Fuel Capacity | 34.0 gal. | 34.0 gal |
| Transmission | 10-speed shiftable automatic | 10-speed shiftable automatic |
| Engine configuration | V8 | V8 |
Both the F-250 and F-350 are of similar size and come with the same bed lengths. Both models come standard with a choice of 6.75-foot or eight-foot bed lengths.
Both the F-250 and F-350 offer immense towing and hauling power, but the F-350 takes things to the next level. When properly equipped, the F-250 can conventionally tow up to 15,000 pounds and handle a maximum payload of 4,260 pounds. The F-350 beats those figures with a conventional towing capacity of 21,000 pounds and a max payload rating of 7,850 pounds when properly configured.
The F-250 and F-350 share the same engine options, highlighted by the impressive 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel. However, the F-350 offers a high-output version of that diesel powertrain with 500 horsepower and 1200 lbs.-ft of torque to handle its higher towing and payload capabilities. The F-350 also boasts a larger 48-gallon fuel tank vs the F-250's 34-gallon tank, allowing you to haul farther without stopping for fuel.
Since the F-250 is a bit lighter and has a less heavy-duty suspension compared to the F-350, it tends to provide a smoother and more forgiving ride, especially when the bed is empty. The F-350's beefier frame and suspension enhance its towing and hauling abilities but create a stiffer ride. However, both trucks offer an exceptionally quiet cabin and available luxury amenities for a pleasant driving experience.
