Powertrain and Capabilities

When choosing the right truck for your towing and hauling demands, it's essential to evaluate the extent of what you intend to carry. Are you looking to transport trailers, farm machinery, recreational vehicles or other substantial weights? What is the heaviest load you anticipate moving? Are there specific capacity requirements for your job site? Addressing these questions can significantly guide your decision on which truck to consider.

Moreover, taking the truck for a test drive is a wise step to ensure it meets your expectations in terms of handling and comfort. Many drivers prefer light-duty Ford models for their ease of maneuverability and parking convenience. However, if you are comfortable handling larger vehicles and require more robust performance, opting for a heavy-duty diesel truck might better suit your needs.

Explore our table below to see a side-by-side comparison of many of our Ford F-Series trucks, including the engine that delivers the maximum available horsepower, torque and towing capacity. Keep in mind that there are many other engine types for you to choose from. For example, if you aren’t interested in a diesel engine, the Ford F-250 and the Ford F-350 can both be equipped with a gasoline engine instead. To get exactly what you need in your next truck, we can help you place a custom order so that you’ll receive the transmission, packages and various features you’ve been dreaming about.
