2021 Ford Super Duty F-250 SRW Lariat 4WD 4WD

Model Highlights

Ford's F-Series Super Duty pickup trucks are built on a fully boxed frame made of 95 percent high-strength steel. The platform shaves nearly 350 pounds from the curb weight of its predecessor while strength is increased by a factor of 24 over the previous generation's frame. Riding atop it is a high-strength aluminum alloy body, which Ford describes as military-grade. The F-Series Super Duty provides buyers with best-in-class towing capabilities. In properly equipped F-450s, that means up to 24,200 pounds of conventional capacity and an impressive 32,500-pound capacity when hooked up to a fifth wheel. Meanwhile, the F-250 offers best-in-class payload capacity of 4,200 pounds, while the F-350's best-in-class payload tops out at 7,850 pounds. In short, the Super Duty hauls. These F-Series Super Duty trucks are powered by a variety of engines. Standard is a flex fuel 6.2L gasoline V8 that makes 385 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Ford's 430 horsepower 7.3L V-8 is optional and also gets buyers a better 10-speed transmission. Finally, a second-generation 6.7L Power Stroke turbo diesel V8 delivers best-in-class power figures of 475 horsepower and an incredible 1050 lb-feet of torque. The base engine is mated to a TorqShift 6-speed automatic transmission, while the diesel and 7.3L engines are both mated to the new 10-speed automatic. Ford's Super Duty pickups are offered in a variety of three-quarter and one-ton configurations--F-250, F-350, F-450--in both 2- and 4-wheel drive, with cabs including regular cab, extended super cab, and 4-door crew cab. Bed sizes include lengths of 6-feet 9-inches and 8 feet, with both standard rear-wheel and dually configurations. Trims across the range include XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum.
