Size & Bed Length: Balancing Agility and Ambition

The Ford F-150 pickup strikes a balance between urban maneuverability and work-ready utility. With configurations ranging from a 5.5-foot short bed to an 8-foot long bed, it caters to weekend warriors and contractors alike. Its overall length spans 209-250 inches, fitting comfortably in standard garages. The Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup grows bolder, offering an 8-foot bed standard and stretching up to 266 inches in crew cab configurations. Its taller stance (81-83 inches) and wider track command authority on rugged terrain. The Ford F-350 Super Duty pickup shares the F-250's footprint but adds reinforced frame rails and a higher payload capacity. Both Super Duty models accommodate dual rear wheels for maximum stability, a feature absent on the F-150.

Towing & Payload: From Versatile to Unstoppable

The Ford F-150 pickup impresses with a maximum towing capacity of 14,000 pounds (High Output 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine) and payload up to 3,325 pounds-ideal for boats or construction trailers.

The Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup escalates to 22,800 pounds towing and 4,260 pounds payload, leveraging its 7.3-liter Godzilla V8 engine or 6.7-liter Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 engine.

The Ford F-350 Super Duty pickup reigns supreme at 40,000 pounds gooseneck towing (with dual rear wheels) and 7,850 pounds payload, engineered for heavy equipment and livestock hauling.

Note: Super Duty figures require proper hitch configurations and Ford's Pro Trailer Hitch Assist.

Engine & Fuel: Efficiency vs. Earth-Moving Force

The Ford F-150 pickup offers five engines:

  • 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine: 325 horsepower / 400 pound-feet (best fuel economy at 20 city/26 highway miles per gallon)
  • 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine: 400 horsepower / 500 pound-feet
  • 5.0-liter Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) V8 engine: 400 horsepower / 410 pound-feet
  • High Output 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine: 450 horsepower / 510 pound-feet (Raptor variant)
  • Supercharged 5.2-liter Predator V8 engine: 720 horsepower / 640 pound-feet (Shelby F-150)

The Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty pickups focus on raw power:

  • 7.3-liter Gas V8 engine: 430 horsepower / 485 pound-feet
  • 6.7-liter Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 engine: 475 horsepower / 1,050 pound-feet (best for towing)
  • 6.7-liter High Output Turbo Diesel V8 engine: 500 horsepower / 1,200 pound-feet (F-350 exclusive)

Ride Quality: Daily Comfort vs. Heavy-Duty Resilience

The Ford F-150 pickup prioritizes comfort with an independent rear suspension, adaptive dampers (available), and a cabin insulated against road noise. Its coil-spring setup absorbs bumps effortlessly, ideal for daily commutes.

The Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty pickups employ a sturdy leaf-spring rear suspension to handle massive payloads. While stiffer, their available Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) system smooths out rough terrain. Both Super Duty models ride higher, but the F-350's dual rear wheel configuration enhances stability when hauling max loads.
