Ford F-250 Available Configurations
The 2016 F-250 comes in five trim levels-XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum-and each offers two box lengths to choose from: a 6-foot, ¾-inch short bed and an eight-foot long bed. Its highest two trims only come in crew cab configurations, but its other three are offered in regular, crew, and super cab models. With these features, the F-250 combines versatility and power.
Shoppers can design the Ford F-250 to fit their passenger needs and payload requirements, making it one of the strongest trucks to get through the workday in Philadelphia, Warminster, or Doylestown.
Ford F-250 Engineering
The 2016 F-250 comes with the Ford six-speed TorqShift® SelecShift® automatic transmission, either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and two powerful engine options. Each balances acceleration and fuel economy for a leading-edge performance, especially when you're towing or hauling heavy cargo.
The first engine, a 6.7-liter Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel, gets a best-in-class 440 horsepower, best-in-class standard 860 lb-ft of torque, and class-leading fuel economy ratings. Its turbocharger is larger and more potent than its previous design, which expands airflow capacity, increases power, and provides a better performance while hauling and towing.
The F-250's second engine, a 6.2-liter gas V8, delivers more torque and horsepower than any other heavy-duty gas pickup truck. Its single overhead cam design and dual-equal variable cam timing help to optimize power and generate an athletic, forceful performance. In fact, the F-250's gas V8 gets a best-in-class 405 lb-ft of torque and standard gas 385 horsepower.
2016 F-250 Capabilities
Depending on how it's equipped, the 2016 Ford F-250 is capable of 12,500 lbs of towing and 4,059 lbs of payload. Trailer Sway Control, which builds on the AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability ControlTM system, uses adjusted engine power and selective braking to transporting heavy loads more efficiently, so you can drive with confidence while hauling long distances.
The F-250's transmission also comes with a tow/haul mode, which provides a controlled performance when travelling with heavy loads up and down hills. It helps to minimize gear hunting so you can maintain a safe, structured ride on steep grades in Philadelphia, Warminster, and Doylestown.
Alternative Fuel Capabilities of the Ford F-250
In addition to their unbridled power, the 2016 Ford F-250's V8 engines are both flex-fuel capable. Its turbodiesel can burn biofuel, its gas V8 can take ethanol, and each can help you to cut down on gas consumption.
The 2016 Ford F-250's V8 gas engine offers a CNG/Propane Gaseous Engine Prep Package, which includes hardened exhaust valves and valve seats to resist wear from gaseous fuel systems. Â That means you can use unleaded gasoline, E85 (no more than 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline), or a combination of the two when powering up your F-250. With this system, you can cut down on your greenhouse gas emissions and reduce your long term fuel costs.
