The Ford F-250 is one of the Ford F-Series Super Duty or Ford Super Duty models, along with the F-3350 which is even tougher. This is a heavy-duty pickup truck and has different bodywork, including a distinct chassis, from the light-duty F-150. Over the years, the Ford Super Duty has proven itself to be a highly dependable vehicle, even if it just arrived in 1999. Many drivers count on the F-250 to combine daily driving comfort with heavy-duty towing and hauling features, something it excels at.
To ensure that drivers know they can rely on the F-250, the latest version of this pickup offers an incredible number of driver-assistive and advanced safety features.

You can also get blind-spot monitoring that includes your trailer length, lane-keeping assist, and a rearview camera that you can mount to the trailer and view via the infotainment screen.
