If you
need a vehicle that can handle your toughest jobs or most gear-intensive
activities, you can't go wrong with a Ford truck. All of Ford's F-series
pickups boast robust performance and state-of-the-art features, but one is
bound to suit your lifestyle better than the rest. At Franklin's Spring Creek
Ford in Colquitt, GA, we know Ford trucks inside and out. Let's compare the
F-150, F-250, and F-350, and you'll discover which pickup is right for you.
Powerful
Engines
No
matter which Ford pickup truck you choose, all of the engine options pack a
punch. In particular, the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel engine-available
in the F-250 and F-350-will blow you away with 475 horsepower and a best-in-class 1,050 lb.-ft. of torque!
If fuel
efficiency is a major deciding factor for you, you'll love the F-150. When
equipped with the 3.0-liter Power Stroke Turbo Diesel engine, this truck
produces 21 city / 29 highway mpg. Who knew you could save so much gas money in
a pickup? And you'll enjoy 250 horsepower and 440 lb.-ft. of torque to boot!
Impressive
Towing and Payload Capacity
Of
course, the exact amount you'll be able to haul with your Ford pickup will
depend on which engine you select, but generally, the Ford F-150 can carry the
least. Still, this light-duty truck offers a ton of muscle for its size when
outfitted with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6-up to
13,200 pounds of towing and 3,230 pounds of payload!
As part
of Ford's Super Duty lineup, the F-250 and F-350 delivery capabilities that
rival every other pickup out there. The F-350 can move just about anything with
a 7,640-pound payload and 21,000 pounds of conventional towing, which you can
increase to a whopping 32,500 pounds with a gooseneck setup! The smaller Super
Duty truck, the F-250, offers a happy medium of strength at 18,500 pounds of
towing and a 4,270-pound payload.
Cutting-Edge
Features
The
same trim levels are available across all three F-series models, so they share
many features including Ford's renowned Co-Pilot360 driver-assist technology
suite, user-friendly SYNC 3 infotainment system, and Ford Pass Connect
smartphone services. Where you might see a difference is in these trucks' smart
towing technology. While all include cameras, a stability system, and Pro
Trailer Backup Assist, the F-250 and F-350 add extra camera views for an
ultimate trailering experience.
