Ford F-250 Super Duty® Specs

The 2021 Ford F-250 offers enough power to tow a trailer to a construction site, haul a boat down to the Gulf, or bring a camper with you on your next family vacation. To deliver that kind of power, the F-250 offers three impressive engines. This dynamic lineup features a pair of gas-powered options and an efficient turbo diesel powertrain:

Engine	Horsepower	Torque
6.2L V8	385	430 lb-ft
7.3L V8	430	475 lb-ft
6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel	475	1,050 lb-ft

The base engine works with a TorqShift® G 6-speed automatic transmission, while the diesel engine and 7.3L V8 are paired with a versatile TorqShift®10-speed automatic transmission. In addition to offering more gears, this transmission makes your truck more adaptable, with selectable driving modes like Slippery, Deep Sand, Eco, and Tow-Haul mode. 

Towing & Capability

With all that power under the hood and a dependable transmission managing your drive, the 2021 F-250 can carry lots of cargo. It features a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body and can be configured for both conventional and fifth-wheel/gooseneck towing. That kind of capability helps the F-250 offer some impressive performance specs, such as:

• 20,000-pound conventional towing capacity
• 22,800-pound fifth-wheel/gooseneck towing capacity
• Carry a payload of up to 4,260 pounds.

No matter what you’re hauling, the F-250 can help you move it. That’s why it also offers an integrated electric winch. It gives your truck a 70-foot line that offers up to 12,000 pounds of winching power.

You can also count on the F-250 to get your cargo through all sorts of terrain. For example, its high-ground clearance gives it a best-in-class water-fording depth of 33 inches. Plus, it’s prepared for off-roading, with Trail Control™ and Rock Modes.

Technology

From lining up with your trailer to helping you find the fastest route, the 2021 Ford F-250 offers the kind of technology that’ll make all your drives easier. For starters, the Rear View Camera gives you a better look at what’s behind you, so you can safely back out of a parking spot or line your tow hitch up with your trailer.

Once you’re on the road, BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Trailer Coverage can help you change lanes while your trailer is attached. After you arrive at your destination, Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ makes it easy to drop your cargo off.

Not only can the dashboard monitor show you what’s behind you, it can show you where you’re headed. With Waze navigation, you’ll get turn-by-turn directions and see maps of your route in real time.

It’s part of the SYNC® 3 infotainment system. On top of offering a navigation system, you’ll be able to stream music, stay in touch, and make hands-free calls while you drive. Some of the available features include:

• Apple CarPlay®
• Android Auto™
• Voice Command with Amazon Alexa
• 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot
