Powerful performance
The base model of the Ford F-250 SD runs on a 6.8-liter gasoline V8 engine, which is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Superb payload capacity
Ford has built the F-250 SD to have the best-in-class towing and payload capacity. It has a maximum payload capacity of 8,000 pounds, and can tow up to 40,000 pounds.

Comfortable interior
The interior of the Ford 250 SD has been completely redesigned to provide it with an elite edge, with options for front leather seats, wood grain appliques, a twin-panel moonroof, and tons of leg-and-head room. The front seats have been engineered to recline into a nearly-flat position, so drivers can rest comfortably, especially on long-haul journeys. Customers can also opt for heated and ventilated front seats, and rear-heated seats to provide the utmost comfort across the seasons. Those looking to get a little work done on-the-go will find great use in the truck’s class-exclusive Interior Work Surface and lockable underseat storage facilities.
