Ford F-250: High-Performance Powertrain Options
The Ford F-250 is designed specifically for towing performance, and it's all thanks to a set of high-powered engine options. The standard 6.2L V8 Gas engine will deliver up to 385 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. With this engine operating at its full potential, you can expect to achieve a towing capacity of up to 15,800 pounds.
Larger cargo may require a more robust engine, so you can equip this truck with an available 6.7L Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel Engine. With up to 450 horsepower and 935 lb-ft of torque, you'll have no trouble hauling up to 18,500 pounds of cargo.
Standard Heavy-Duty Transmission Technology
Cargo can demand a lot from your transmission, so it's important to have a system that's prepared for the job. With the standard TorqShift® 6-Speed SelectShift Automatic®, you'll have the gears you need to be able to work with even the highest cargo weights.
This is in no small part thanks to the help of the standard SelectShift® capabilities of this truck. Drivers will enjoy the freedom to demand more power from their truck on the fly with a system that allows you to control shifting like a manual transmission. Simply switch into manual mode and you'll have the control you need to change gears based on the situation for optimal hauling.
F-250 Towing Assistance Features
There's a full process to getting ready to haul cargo, and it's important to make sure every step of the process is performed correctly. This truck offers an available Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System, which provides multiple camera views to help with hitching. You'll love having the help of a 360-degree camera view created from multiple camera angles along the body of your truck.
Beyond that, this vehicle offers plenty of convenience as well with an available built-in Upfitter Switch system. Once you've hooked up your trailer's equipment, it's easy to manage your trailer lights and more with the help of the upfitting switch system. These factory-installed switches allow you to operate your trailer without having to use aftermarket equipment.
