The Ford F-250 Super Duty is the go-to heavy duty pickup truck for those who need maximum towing and hauling capability. With each model year, Ford introduces updates and improvements to make the Ford F-250 even more capable and advanced. Here's a look at some of the key differences between the 2025 and 2026 Ford F-250 models.

Engines and Performance

Both the 2025 and 2026 Ford F-250 are powered by a choice of potent engines. The standard 7.3L V8 gas engine delivers robust power for most heavy duty needs. For even more muscle, the available Power Stroke turbo diesel V8 serves up best-in-class horsepower and torque. For 2026, Ford has tweaked the diesel to provide slightly higher outputs for improved performance.

Towing and Payload Capabilities

The Ford F-250 Super Duty offers tremendous towing and payload capacities to tackle even the most demanding jobs. When properly equipped, the 2025 Ford F-250 can conventionally tow up to 20,000 pounds. It also provides a maximum payload capacity of 4,323 pounds. Thanks to the updated diesel engine, the 2026 Ford F-250 manages to up the ante with a higher tow rating and payload capacity, maintaining its class-leading capabilities.

Technology Features

The 2025 Ford F-250 introduced an available 12-inch touchscreen with the latest SYNC 4 infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an 8-inch digital instrument cluster. For 2026, the Ford F-250 adds even more connectivity features and a larger 15-inch touchscreen option for the ultimate command center.

Safety Systems

All 2025 Ford F-250 models come standard with Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking as well as Lane Keeping Alert. The 2026 Ford F-250 bolsters its safety suite with standard Blind Spot Monitoring with Trailer Coverage and Adaptive Cruise Control across all trims.

Exterior and Interior Updates

On the outside, the 2025 and 2026 Ford F-250 maintain a bold, muscular appearance befitting their Ford Super Duty status. However, look closely and you'll notice the 2026 model features a refreshed front fascia with a more aggressive grille design and updated headlights for a distinctive look. Inside the spacious cab, the 2026 Ford F-250 receives new interior color and trim choices, upgraded materials, and enhanced front seats for optimal comfort.
