How to Choose The Perfect Ford Truck
How to Choose The Perfect Ford Truck
Posted on June 24, 2020
Every Ford truck is made to be the roughest, toughest pickup on the road. With innovations like a tough aluminum alloy frame and the most towing power out there, it’s no wonder the F-series has been the best-selling line of trucks for the past four decades. If you aren’t sure which size suits you best, here’s a quick rundown:
F-150
The Ford F-150 is your most likely choice if all you want from a truck is a basic workhorse with four engine options, the best-in-class towing power, three cab sizes, and three bed sizes. Whether it’s work or play, the F-150 can deliver.
F-250
The F-250 is the first step into the super-duty trucks, which collectively come with two V8 engine options, one gasoline and one diesel. The F-250 has options like the gooseneck towing point, which boosts towing capacity from 12,500 pounds to 16,600 pounds.
F-350
Along with being bigger, the F-350 comes with the option of dual rear wheels, which dramatically improve both the towing and payload capacities. The best payload capacity for a single-rear-wheel F-350 is 4,510 pounds, but the capacity with dual wheels starts at 5,310 pounds.
F-450
The F-450 puts the “super” in “super duty.” All F-450 models come with dual rear wheels, the biggest cab, the biggest bed, the diesel engine, and four-wheel drive. While this means the payload capacity suffers, the towing capacity is an astonishing 31,200 pounds. That’s enough to tow a jet fighter.
Ford’s F-series is the best in the world, and you only need to see what they can do to know why.
