Ford F-250 Super Duty
Brutish power and payload capacity remain key traits of the F-250, while aluminum construction brings it into the 21st century. A 6.2-liter V-8 with 430 lb-ft, a max tow rating of 15,000 lb, and a six-speed automatic are standard; a 6.7-liter turbo-diesel V-8 with 925 lb-ft and a max tow rating of 18,000 lb is optional. Configurations include regular, SuperCab, and Crew Cab as well as 6.75-ft and 8.0-ft beds. The F-250 boasts a quiet cabin, a compliant ride, and up to six exterior cameras.
Technically, the 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty marks the start of a fourth generation of this heavy-duty truck. But the last time Ford launched a from-the-ground-up all-new Super Duty—not just new powertrains, an exterior refresh, or refinements—was in 1998 with the official debut of the entire brand and line. The world was a different place. The original PalmPilot had just debuted a year earlier, LeBron James was still figuring out how to dunk at Riedinger Middle School, Titanic had become the first movie to gross $1 billion, a 23-year-old Bear Grylls became the youngest Brit to climb Mount Everest, and Google was finding its footing as a tech company.
