Good

The 2026 Ford F-250 is a powerful tool with a price tag to match. Buyers who don't need to tow 10 tons or load two tons into the bed will be better served by the F-150. But if you need heavy-duty capability, it's hard to beat the Super Duty.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Jared Gall

Updated: 9/22/2026

The F-250 might be the welterweight of the F-Series Super Duty family, but it is still a tremendous step up in capability from the F-150. Whereas Ford's light-duty pickup maxes out at 13,500 pounds' worth of towing capacity, the heavy-duty F-250 can lug up to 22,000 pounds on a conventional trailer and as much as 23,000 pounds with a gooseneck hitch. Whether you're looking for a basic job-site tug or a leather-lined cocoon to tow your biggest and heaviest toys, there's a truck to fit your needs within the F-250's five available trim levels.

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Reese Counts

Good

7.0

out of 10

We drove the 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

5.6/10

How does the Ford F-250 Super Duty drive? We tested an F-250 with the high-output 6.7-liter turbodiesel V8. With 1,200 lb-ft of torque, the F-250 has no shortage of grunt. It hit 60 mph in 7.2 seconds; a bit slower than the Silverado 2500HD but still competitive. The powertrain is smooth, and the 10-speed transmission never feels out of step or in the wrong gear. Even when towing or hauling, we don't expect the F-250 to struggle or feel overwhelmed.

The F-250's steering and handling are average for a heavy-duty pickup, which is to say soft and a bit disconnected. The F-250 leans in corners, but it's composed enough that you don't get tossed around on tight roads. The ride comfort is on the firm side of comfortable, but it's right on for what we expect in this class. One major downside: Braking distances were below average, even for an HD truck.

The F-250 provides more advanced driver assistance features than its GM competitors, and they do their jobs well without being annoying. The adaptive cruise control system includes lane-centering steering assistance (a big help on the highway) and comes to a stop in traffic. Ford's Pro Trailer backup and hitch assist features are useful for trailering rookies and veterans alike.

Comfort

6.9/10

How comfortable is the Ford F-250 Super Duty? The F-250's crew cab offers room in all directions. Space is immense. The seats are a bit flat, but we found them soft and well padded (and also more comfortable than Chevy's). We had no issues with sore backs or behinds on longer drives. It's much the same in the rear, with a flat but comfortable bench that can be folded to provide more cargo area.

The climate control system blows cold, and the heated seats get toasty quickly. No one really does either like an American automaker. The controls for the climate system are a bit disappointing as some settings and readouts (like the cabin temperature) are located in the touchscreen, but that's our only major complaint in a cabin that otherwise has sensible, easy-to-use controls.

We found the F-250 to be reasonably quiet on the road too. Yes, there's a little bit of diesel clatter, but it's subtle and never loud enough that you can't have a conversation. Wind and road noise is decently muted, though the tires do produce a bit of noise at highway speeds.

In-cabin tech

9/10

How’s the tech? The latest Super Duty is loaded with well-executed in-car tech. Upper trims come standard with a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system. (The XL and XLT come standard with an 8-inch screen.) The navigation works well, with clear, easy-to-read maps and turn-by-turn directions displaying in the digital instrument cluster and head-up display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on all trims. A wireless charging pad is available, and there are plenty of USB ports, including multiple USB-Cs. Some trims come with a pair of 120-volt household-style power outlets too. Our King Ranch model was equipped with an excellent B&O audio system. It's among the best we've experienced in a pickup truck.

Storage & cargo

8.5/10

How’s storage and cargo? Cargo space and storage inside the cabin are very good. There are a seemingly endless number of bins and cubbies for small items like sunglasses, phones and more. Everywhere you seem to look offers a small pocket of some sort. We're very impressed with the cupholders. There's lots of them, and the ones up front are large enough for wide water bottles. The folding split-configuration rear seat means you can get a passenger in the back, too, provided you don't need all of the space.

Value

7/10

Is the Ford F-250 Super Duty a good value? The Super Duty starts off priced on par with rivals from Chevrolet and Ram, though it's easy to add a few options to send the price skyward (the diesel engines are the big-ticket items). Our well-equipped King Ranch test truck packed an as-tested price of about $95,000. Other heavy-duty trucks can get pricey, too, but the Ford doesn't look great by comparison. That said, build quality is very solid, with excellent fit and finish and a genuinely nice interior on those high-spec trucks.

The warranty is average for this class. Ford includes a three-year/36,000-mile basic and powertrain warranty, though models with diesel powertrains get a five-year/100,000-mile warranty. Ford also includes five years/60,000 miles of roadside assistance.

Towing & hauling

9.5/10

How is the towing and hauling? As you might expect from a heavy-duty pickup, payload and towing ratings for the F-250 are excellent. Max payload capacity is rated at more than 4,200 pounds (regular cab with either gasoline V8), though most configurations are rated between 3,000 and 4,000 pounds. Towing tops out at 22,000 pounds for a conventional trailer or 23,000 pounds with a gooseneck. Most configurations are between 14,000 and 20,000 pounds. Those are all impressive figures for the class, though it's always neck-and-neck among this group of pickups.

MPG

1/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA doesn't require heavy-duty trucks like the Super Duty to have certified EPA fuel economy estimates. With our truck's high-output diesel V8, we saw about 14.5 mpg in typical city driving. That's about what we've seen in the competition, though it's a lot worse than we've seen from light-duty trucks like Ford's own F-150. It also equates to a rating of Poor on our standardized fuel economy rating rubric.

X factor

5/10

For better or worse, the current Super Duty looks a heck of a lot like the old Super Duty both inside and out, though the changes to the grille, lighting and interior do a lot to keep the truck feeling fresh. Still, it's not a particularly striking design, and even the tough-looking Tremor package pales in comparison to the Ram 2500 Power Wagon or GMC Sierra 2500HD AT4X.

Buying Tips for the 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty for October

Shoppers are seeing real money on the hood here, with about $5,250 in total savings on a 2026 F-250 Super Duty once the average dealer discount and the $2000 customer cash rebate are stacked.

Buyers are already paying about $3,250 below MSRP on average, and that rebate pushes the combined deal to roughly $5,250 off. Savings are fairly consistent across trims, but Lariat and the high-end King Ranch and Platinum trims show some of the strongest percentage discounts.
New inventory is plentiful at about 27,200 trucks nationwide, which gives you more choices and a bit more room to shop dealers against each other. Lariat has the deepest supply, while King Ranch and Platinum are relatively tighter.
Remaining new inventory is moving slower than average, with a median 51 days to turn versus 29 days for all new vehicles. That usually helps your leverage, especially if a truck has been sitting for a while.
If you are financing, the best promo is 3.9% for 48 months for qualified buyers on some trims. That is far below typical market rates and can save a lot in interest over the life of the loan.

2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty trim level differences

The 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty comes in five trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum. There are three cab choices — regular (two door), SuperCab (extended cab with short, rear-hinged back doors that can only be opened after the fronts are opened), and crew cab — and two bed lengths, a short 6.75-foot bed and an 8-footer. Compare the 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty trim levels in-depth.

Which F-250 Super Duty trim does Edmunds recommend?

Picking an F-250 largely comes down to what you want out of your heavy-duty truck. But we think many owners will be satisfied with the Lariat. It's nicely equipped with features such as heated and ventilated front seats, a Bang & Olufsen audio system and synthetic leather upholstery while remaining reasonably priced.

Competitors to consider

The only players in the heavy-duty pickup market are the domestic manufacturers. You'll also want to check out the Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra 2500HD and Ram 2500. They all offer similar towing and hauling capabilities. If you're regularly bumping up against the max rating of any of these trucks, though, it's time to consider stepping up to the F-350 or F-450.

Edmunds spotlight: Four engine options, zero wimps

With a choice of V6s, V8s and even a hybrid powertrain, the F-150 can be optimized for power, efficiency, or a balance between the two. Step up to the F-250, and the choices are power, more power, still greater power, or maximum power. The F-250's competitors offer a choice of gas or diesel engines, but Ford buyers can choose between two of each engine type. Gas buyers pick between a 6.8-liter V8 with 405 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque or a 7.3-liter V8 making 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft. The 6.7-liter turbocharged diesel V8 is available in two strengths. The standard-output configuration nets 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft and the high-output tune, 500 horsepower and a mountainous 1,200 lb-ft.
