What is the Ford Super Duty?
Ford Super Duty is Ford's heavy-duty pickup truck line — the F-250, F-350, and F-450 models built for serious towing, hauling, and commercial work. Super Duty trucks use heavier frames, larger axles, and more
capable brakes and suspension than the F-150, and are available with either a gasoline V8 or the PowerStroke turbodiesel V8. Available in XL through Limited trims, from bare-bones work truck to top-tier luxury
heavy-duty.
What's the difference between F-250 and F-350?
The F-250 and F-350 share much of their platform but differ in load ratings and suspension. The F-250 is rated for lighter payload and towing than the F-350, uses a slightly softer suspension, and is a more
comfortable daily driver for buyers who need Super Duty capability but not maximum ratings. The F-350 handles heavier payloads and higher towing (particularly the Single Rear Wheel and Dual Rear Wheel —
'dually' — configurations), and is the right choice for serious commercial hauling, heavy fifth-wheel and gooseneck towing, and truck-camper applications.
Should I get gasoline or PowerStroke diesel?
Gasoline Super Duty (7.3L V8) is the better choice for buyers with lower purchase price priority, occasional heavy towing, and shorter ownership horizons. PowerStroke diesel (6.7L turbodiesel V8) is the better
choice for buyers who tow frequently, tow heavy, drive long distances, or plan to keep the truck for many years. Diesel adds significant upfront cost and requires DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) service, but
delivers substantially more torque, better fuel economy under load, and longer engine life for heavy-use applications.
How much can a Ford Super Duty tow?
Super Duty towing capacity varies significantly by model, configuration, engine, and hitch type. Properly equipped F-350 and F-450 with PowerStroke diesel can achieve very high conventional, fifth-wheel, and
gooseneck tow ratings — among the highest in the pickup segment. Actual tow capacity for any specific truck depends on cab, bed, drivetrain, axle ratio, and hitch configuration. Our commercial sales team can
quote exact ratings for any Super Duty configuration.
