Trims, Powertrains, Payload, and Configurations
The Super Duty offers a choice of five trims: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum. The standard F-250 and F-350 powertrain for the XL, XLT, and Lariat unites a 6.8-liter gas-burning V8 (output: 405 hp and 445 lb.-ft. of torque) to a TorqShift-G 10-speed automatic transmission. The King Ranch and Platinum retain that transmission but upgrade to a 7.3-liter gas V8 (available on the lower trims) that makes 430 horsepower and 485 lb.-ft. of torque. The F-250 King Ranch and Platinum also use the TorqShift-G transmission, but their F-350 counterparts move to a TorqShift 10-speed SelectShift automatic. Every Super Duty is eligible for the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 turbo-diesel engine (output: 475 hp and 1,050 lb.-ft. of torque) as well as a 6.7-liter high-output Power Stroke V8 turbo-diesel (output: 500 hp and 1,200 lb.-ft. of torque).
All versions get a drive mode selector with settings labeled Normal, Eco, Slippery Roads, and Tow/Haul. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard on the XL, XLT, and Lariat, while the two higher trims get standard four-wheel drive (4WD), which is available for the entire lineup. Every dual-rear-wheel F-350 has 17-inch wheels, regardless of trim, with the XL and XLT getting Argent-painted steel wheels, while the Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum upgrade to polished forged aluminum.
All F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks get a Crew Cab as the default, paired with either an 8-foot or 6.75-foot bed. The XL and XLT can get a SuperCab with either bed length, or a Regular Cab with an 8-foot bed only. All long-bed F-350s can be equipped with dual rear wheels. Fuel tanks range in size from 29 gallons (for the short-bed SuperCab and Regular Cab), 34 gallons (for the long- or short-bed Crew Cab and long-bed SuperCab), or 48 gallons (for the long-bed Crew Cab). The F-250 has a tow limit of 22,000 pounds with the combination of 4WD and either diesel engine, and it reaches a payload capacity of 4,240 pounds with either of the gas engines and RWD. The F-350 achieves a 30,000-lb. towing limit with either diesel engine, dual rear wheels, and the Crew Cab/long bed layout. The dually F-350 can reach an 8,000-lb. payload limit with the 6.8-liter gas V8 and RWD.
