5 reasons to buy the 2023 Ford F250
1. Powerful gas and diesel engine options
The primary reason to buy a Ford Super Duty F-250 are the powerful engine options available, making this heavy-duty pickup perfect for towing, hauling, plowing, and any other activities that require brute force. All 2023 Ford F-250s come with one of four V8 engine options. Gasoline engines come in either a 400-hp 6.8L or 430-hp 7.3L V8, while the 6.7L diesel engines are available as a 475-hp Power Stroke® or 500-hp High-output Power Stroke®. Regardless of the engine you choose, you'll have the horsepower and torque to get the job done.
2. Superb towing
All that power beneath the hood means that the 2023 Super Duty Ford F-250 can tow (almost) anything. Whether you're hooking up an industrial trailer loaded with excavator equipment or taking your fifth-wheel trailer on a summer road trip, you'll have peace of mind knowing that the 2023 Ford F-250 with the standard 6.8L V8 can tow nearly 23,000 pounds when properly equipped.
3. Driver-assist features
Everyone can use a bit of extra support on the road, whether you're dropping your new boat into the lake for the first time, or are a seasoned pro at towing campers. The available 360-degree trailer camera and available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ make it easy to put your trailer exactly where you want it to go, simply by turning a knob in the cab. For day-to-day excursions, driver assist features like adaptive cruise control and lane centering help you reach your destination without any stress.
4. Upscale interior
The 2023 Ford Super Duty F-250 is a workhorse, but it's also a luxury machine. After a day of hard work, you won't mind picking up a date or giving clients a tour of the job site in your F-250. The mid-range Lariat trim includes leather-trimmed seats, a 12-inch touchscreen, and more. Or, go all-in with available options like a twin-panel moonroof and premium Bang and Olufsen® sound system.
5. Flexible cabin space
With three cabin options to choose from, the 2023 Ford Super Duty F-250 allows you to find the truck that's right for your needs. If you're using the truck primarily for work and like driving in solitude, opt for the Regular Cab, which seats three people across a front bench. For family travel or just a bit of extra interior room, choose the SuperCab or Crew Cab, both of which can seat six people.
