    2020 Ford F-250 Ratings & Reliability
    The 2020 Ford Super Duty pickup truck gains light cosmetic updates and boasts significant improvements under the hood. The base 6.2-liter V8 engine will be mated with the new 10-speed transmission. There's a new step-up engine, a 7.3-liter V8. Ford expects this to be the most powerful V8 in the class. A redesigned 6.7-liter diesel V8 will be the choice for challenging commercial and towing duties. Key advanced safety features such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection.will be available on XLT and higher trims. Blind spot warning and lane keeping assist with trailer coverage are available as options. The current F-250 crew cab's interior is roomy, with a generous rear seat and several handy features, such as a collapsible cargo box under the rear seat. The F-250 is a very tall vehicle with a high step-in, which makes it awkward to climb into the cabin. The Sync 3 infotainment system is easy to use. Handling is very clumsy but ultimately secure. A maximum towing capacity of 17,600 pounds and the ability to attach a snow plow make it a dedicated work vehicle.

    2019 Ford F-250 Ratings & Reliability
    The F-250 Super Duty's body is now made of aluminum, which contributes to a relatively light weight, aiding acceleration and fuel economy. The crew cab's interior is roomy, with a generous rear seat and several handy features, such as a collapsible cargo box under the rear seat. The F-250 is a very tall vehicle with a high step-in, which makes it awkward to climb into the cabin. The Sync 3 infotainment system is easy to use, and the instruments let you view pertinent information about the engine or towing status. The powerful and relatively quiet 6.7-liter diesel engine is a natural choice. The ride is stiff but not overly punishing. Handling is very clumsy but ultimately secure. A maximum towing capacity of 17,600 pounds and the ability to attach a snow plow make it a dedicated work vehicle.

    Ford F-250 2018
    The F-250 Super Duty is a heavy-duty truck for towing or hauling heavy loads. The ride is stiffer and snappier than in the F-150, but slightly better than some of its competitors. Engines include a diesel V8, a gas V8. Stepping into the cabin is difficult because of the high floor. Integrated into the tailgate is an optional folding stepladder, which is a nice touch. Other conveniences include built-in wiring for accessories and built-in controls for proportional braking when towing a trailer. Handling is very clumsy even for a heavy-duty truck.
