When it comes to choosing a capable, hard-working pickup truck, the Ford F-150 and Ford F-250 are two of the top contenders. Both Ford trucks deliver impressive performance, towing and hauling abilities to tackle tough jobs. So what sets these two popular pickups – both available at Ravenel Ford Inc. – apart? Take a look at how the F-150 and F-250 compare before shopping at your Ravenel, SC Ford truck dealer.
Comparing the Ford F-150 and Ford F-250: Which Truck Is Right for You?
Power and Performance
Under the hood, the Ford F-150 offers six different engine options, ranging from the 400-horsepower EcoBoost® V6 up to the powerful PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6. Even a 400-horsepower V8 engine is available for the new Ford F-150.
Truck shoppers from Johns Island, SC interested in a Ford F-250 have diesel engine options to choose from. The Ford F-250 can have a beefy 6.2-liter Flex Fuel gas V8 engine under the hood or a Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel V8 engine for maximum low-end torque. So while the F-150 provides a wider range of capable yet efficient engine choices, the F-250 focuses on raw power to get the toughest jobs done. That makes this new Ford truck a draw for Charleston contractors.
Towing and Hauling
Both the F-150 and F-250 deliver when you need to tow or haul heavy loads. The F-150 boasts a maximum available towing capacity of 13,500 pounds. You can even take on a maximum available payload of 2,440 pounds with the Ford F-150. If you're hauling heavier trailers and fifth-wheels back to Hollywood, the Ford F-250 is the better choice, with the ability to pull 20,000 pounds. Towing ratings for these new Ford trucks vary by the cab size, bed length, and powertrain. The Ford F-250 can also handle heavier payloads – great for moving more landscaping materials and machinery.
Productivity Features
To help you work smarter, the F-150 and F-250 offer advanced features like Pro Power Onboard, which turns the truck into a mobile generator to power tools and equipment at jobsites in Charleston and beyond. Truck owners from Walterboro can choose a F-150 or F-250 equipped with Pro Power Onboard.
Each of these new trucks offers Ford BlueCruise for hands-free driving on highways around Charleston. This innovative feature is designed to reduce stress and fatigue on longer towing voyages.
