2017 Ford F-250 Review
Overview
What do you get when you combine a high strength military grade aluminum alloy body with a fully boxed frame made of 95% high-strength steel? The gold standard of work trucks… the Ford F-Series Super Duty. The gnarly F-250 the burly F-350 and the massive F-450 all come in your pick of five trim levels. More choices include two- or four-wheel drive; Regular Super or Crew Cab; short or long bed; and single or dual rear wheels. And of course you get to select an engine where the numbers push pull and speak for themselves. Ford’s 6.2-liter Super Duty Gas V-8 puts out 385 horses and 430 pound-feet of torque. The 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V-8 delivers 440 horsepower—and a stunning 925 foot-pounds of torque. Each one comes with class-leading payload and towing capability. But engines won’t be the only thing powering your productivity. An available 8-inch productivity screen is your new command center and available Sync 3 lets your voice control the infotainment system—which includes a complimentary five-year subscription to SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link services. As versatile as you are your truck comes in an array of exterior colors and interior trim options. The Ford F-Series Super Duty… the toughest smartest most capable Super Duty yet.
Technology
The Ford F-Series Super Duty... there’s so much smart thinking here it’s a no-brainer. Up to seven cameras enhance your visibility for on-site tasks including Trailer Reverse Guidance for the often-tough job of backing up a trailer. And Super Duty now offers an available Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Tow Lane Departure Warning plus Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning with Brake Support. The Ford F-Series Super Duty… powered for productivity.
Safety
The Ford F-Series Super Duty is loaded with driver-assist features. It’s the smartest Super Duty yet. Sophisticated radar and strategically placed cameras help you navigate crowded job sites and avoid collisions—the blind-spot warning system even covers trailers being towed. Voice-activated Sync 3 keeps your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. And AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability and Trailer Sway Control uses gyroscopic sensors to help keep things on the straight and narrow. The F-Series Super Duty… Toughest. Smartest. Most Capable. Ever.
Performance
The Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup trucks... welcome to the next level. No other standard gas-powered full-size pickup matches the 6.2-liter Super Duty V-8’s 430 foot-pounds of torque. And at 925 foot-pounds the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V-8 is the clear winner among diesels. Need some cinder blocks? With a maximum payload capacity of 7 630 pounds you can haul 250 of them. Got a gooseneck trailer? Load it up—a properly equipped F-450 can tow up to 32 500 pounds. No wonder the F-Series Super Duty was Motor Trend’s 2017 Truck of the Year.
