2025 Ford F-250 SD Coughlin Ford of Heath

he Ford F-Series has been the best-selling truck in the US for 48 years, and it’s not hard to see why. They’re tough, dependable, and always get the job done. Today, we’re going to look at one of the toughest of these iconic vehicles: the 2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty.

Powerful Engine Options

The Super Duty offers a choice of two gasoline and two diesel engines, allowing you to customize its carrying and towing abilities to your needs. First up is the 6.8L V8 that provides 405 hp and 445 lb-ft of torque. If you want more power, the 7.3L delivers with 430 hp and 485 lb-ft of torque. Both gasoline engines pair with the TorqShift G-10 automatic transmission that features three overdrive modes and up to five drive modes.

When you’re carrying or towing the heaviest loads, you need a diesel engine. The 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo supplies 475 hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque and improved throttle response. Top of the list for raw power is the 6.7L High Output Power Stroke V8 Turbo that provides a blistering 500 hp and 1,200 lb-ft of torque. The diesel engines are matched with the Heavy Duty TorqShift 10-speed transmission.

Fully Boxed Frame

If the engine is the heart of the truck, the frame is its muscles. Most trucks use a C-channel frame, with the open section facing inward. The Ford F-250 is built with a fully boxed frame, where the open end of the traditional C-channel is sealed to form a rectangle. This design increases the frame’s strength, making it rigid and able to withstand the twisting and bending from carrying immense loads.

The frame’s strength is augmented by 10 reinforced crossmembers that distribute the weight in the truck bed or from the load you’re towing. The F-250 Super Duty’s box frame also provides a more stable and comfortable ride, protects against damage from rough terrain or impacts, and allows you to carry up to 8.000 pounds in the bed with ease.

Towing

Depending on your needs, engine choice, and the trailer attachments, the F-250 Super Duty can tow 30,000 to 40,000 pounds. Its standard hitch will haul 30,000 pounds, increasing to 40,000 pounds if you add the gooseneck trailer attachment.

The available trailering packages also include Smart Hitch, an onboard scale that measures the weight and assists with load balancing. Another available feature to make towing easier is Trailer Navigation, which helps you plot the easiest route to your destination based on the size and weight of the item you’re towing.
