The F-250 Super Duty line of trucks are built specifically to do more than your average pickup with better than average capabilities. A rock-crawl mode is also unique to the Tremor package and combined with the factory 2" lift assures that there's not much this truck can't get through including water fording of 33 inches. Features also included selectable drive modes to apply to various road conditions which included normal, tow/haul, eco (a valiant attempt to make you feel better about those MPGs), slippery, and deep snow/sand. My test truck also came equipped with the Tremor Off-Road Package which not only looks great on this truck, but it adds off-road goodies such as 35" off-road tires (LT285/75R18), 18" low-gloss black painted wheels, lane-keep assist, rear electronic locking differential, front limited slip differential and performance front & rear shock absorbers. After a week of suburban driving mixed with a fair amount of traffic going into Chicago and I averaged 11.2 MPG. The fuel tank fills at 34 gallons and will generally offer just under 400 miles per tank depending on how you drive when full. The Super Duty runs on regular grade gas which is good considering that the truck doesn't even get an EPA rating like all other heavy-duty trucks. Driving this truck downtown Chicago and in heavy highway traffic required a little more effort and awareness than a Ford Escape, but nonetheless it was still easy maneuver. The 360-degree cameras, park assist and the truck's steering capabilities all work very well together. Whether on the highway or around town, the truck was easily controlled and never felt too loose which is likely a benefit of the electronically assisted steering. The steering and handling were surprisingly impressive for a truck with a 160" wheel base. The ride on the highway is bouncy (as expected), especially when equipped with the 35" off-road tires that add a fair amount of road noise. of torque.Īcceleration was decent for a truck of this size and it shifted into gears smoothly. The other option is a Power Stroke turbodiesel 6.7L V8 that generates 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb.-ft. of torque mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Two other powertrains are available, the base engine is a 6.2L V8 that produces 385 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. Under the hood was the new 7.3L V8 that produces 430 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque mated to a ten-speed automatic transmission. My test model for this review was a 2021 F-250 SRW 4x4 Crew Cab Platinum with the 160" wheelbase that had a base price of $65,515, but was equipped with several options that brought the final MSRP to $73,825. Competition includes the Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, Ram 2500 HD, and Nissan Titan XD. New for 2021 are three new colors Antimatter Blue, Carbonized Gray and Lithium Gray. The lineup received a significant refresh for 2020 that carries over into 2021. Additional option packages such as the Tremor off-road package will give buyers the option to truly build a truck to suit their needs. Ford offers the Super Duty as a F-250, F-350, or F-450 and then further by trim levels, XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited.
