The 2027 Ford F-250 is a powerful tool that can be customized for a variety of tasks. A pair of potent engines provide enough grunt to handle most jobs, and the interior can be outfitted to shuttle a work crew around, to coddle you while you tow your biggest toys, or anything in between.Read full review
The little sibling in Ford's Super Duty truck lineup, the F-250 is still quite a beast. Able to tow up to 23,000 pounds with a gooseneck hitch or haul payloads of nearly two tons, it's a big step up from the F-150 and a lot of capability for a personal-use pickup. The F-250's five available trim levels allow you to outfit it as anything from a basic fleet truck to a luxurious rig that coddles occupants while it handles the hard work or just everyday life.

Good
7.0
out of 10
We drove the 2027 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 it drive? We tested an F-250 with the 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
View interior photos
How comfortable is it? 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 are 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 it 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 the 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 diesel V8, we saw about 14.5 mpg in typical city driving. That's on par with 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 2027 Ford F-250 Super Duty for November
With about 21,000 new F-250 Super Duty trucks out there and buyers already averaging roughly $3,000 off sticker, this is one of those heavy-duty shoppers’ markets where selection and savings line up.
You can save about $3,000 off MSRP on average, and the XL and XLT also get a $500 customer cash rebate for roughly $2,300 to $2,400 total savings on those trims. The stronger value play is the Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum, which are all running close to 4.8% to 4.9% off sticker.
New inventory is plentiful at about 21,040 trucks nationwide, which gives you room to comparison-shop dealers. XL, Lariat, and XLT have the deepest supply, while Platinum is tighter, so expect less flexibility if you want the top trim.
New trucks are taking about 19 days to sell versus 18 days for the average new vehicle, so demand looks basically normal. That supports a calm, competitive shopping strategy instead of rushing.
If you’re financing an XL or XLT, Ford is offering a promotional rate as low as 4.9% for 48 months for qualified buyers. That is well below typical market rates and can trim your total interest cost.

2027 Ford F-250 Super Duty trim level differences
The 2027 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 front doors are opened), and crew cab — plus two bed lengths, a short 6.75-foot bed and an 8-footer. Compare the 2027 Ford F-250 Super Duty trim levels in-depth.
Which F-250 Super Duty trim level does Edmunds recommend?
You can get as much luxury in the F-250 as you're willing to pay for. We think the midlevel Lariat is the way to go, as it includes niceties like heated seats front and rear, ventilated front seats, and additional tech features without the eye-popping price tag of the range-topping King Ranch and Platinum.
Competitors to consider
If you need more capability than a light-duty pickup can offer, your only choices come from American brands. The only alternatives to the F-250 are the Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra 2500HD twins and the Ram 2500. Towing and payload ratings of all these trucks are similar, and if a few hundred pounds in one column or the other is going to make a difference, it's a good idea to check out the F-350 and the other brands' 3500-series trucks.
Stop Buying Too Much Truck: Your Guide to Truck Sizes | Ford Maverick vs. Ranger vs. F-150 vs. F-250
NOTE: This video is about the 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty, but since the 2027 Ford F-250 Super Duty is part of the same generation, our earlier analysis still applies.
Compared to other automakers, Ford has the most extensive lineup of trucks, ranging from the compact Maverick all the way up into full-size Super Duty land. But which one is right for you? In this video, Edmunds’ Emme Hall compares the 2026 Ford Maverick, 2026 Ford Ranger, 2026 Ford F-150 and 2026 Ford F-250 to help you decide which one is the best fit.Small or compact… trucks like the Ford Maverick have great prices and will fit just about anywhere, but can they tow or haul enough for you? Midsize trucks like the Ford Ranger can do a lot, with more power and capability than small trucks, but they may not be flexible enough for your needs. Full-size or large trucks like the famous Ford F-150 are mighty capable and comfortable, but can also be expensive and may be overkill for your needs. Big heavy-duty trucks like the Ford F-250 have massive power and massive towing and hauling ability, but they also come with massive price tags and...they're just plain massive.So how much truck do you actually need?
