2026 Ford F-250

The 2023 Ford Super Duty line of heavy-duty pickup trucks promise more power, more engine choices, and more special features. It continues to be tailored to commercial customers who want capability and familiarity. The 6.2-liter gas V8 engine that was standard on the F-250 and F-350 has been replaced by a new 6.8-liter V8. Ford says its 7.3-liter gas V8 gets an improved air intake design and tuning for better torque and more horsepower. The 6.7-liter, turbodiesel V8 carries over and is joined by a new high-output diesel engine option. An optional tailgate down camera and reverse sensing system that works when the tailgate is in the lowered position is new. AEB and FCW will only be available on certain trims. Adaptive cruise control and lane centering assistance are optional.

About Ford

Among Ford’s SUVs and pickups, the smallest options usually earn our highest ratings. Consumer Reports has recommended the Mustang Mach-E EV, the thrilling Mustang coupe and convertible, and the Maverick, a small pickup truck available with a hybrid powertrain. Most other vehicles, however, score low in our road tests and have average to below average reliability. With some exceptions, used Fords can be a risk. The Ford F-150 pickup combines true truck capabilities with quiet, roomy cabins, making it one of the best-selling vehicles in the U.S. However, our tests found that recent F-150s have a stiff ride, unresponsive handling, and below average reliability. The Lightning, an EV version of the F-150, drives better and is faster than its gasoline equivalent. The Bronco SUVs has exceptional off-road ability and classic boxy styling, but suffers from issues like wind noise and long stopping distances.
