People who appreciate closed cabs and bench seats, open cargo boxes with tailgates, and the versatility of the light-duty truck go for the 2016 Ford-150 and F-250. So many people like it for the lifestyle statement that the F-series pickup is as popular as midsize sedans. Though the similarities between the F-150 and the F-250 aren’t obvious, they’re different vehicles that meet different needs. Both vehicles are exceptional choices depending on what the customer wants.
The 2016 Ford 150 offers two economical V6 eco boost engines that produce significant power and good gas mileage too. They also offer a third V8 option that produces a whopping 385 hp and 387 ft/lbs of torque. While being stingy on gas, the V6 eco packages offer exceptional towing power. The 3.5 liter V6 produces 420 ft/lbs of torque with 365 hp. A properly equipped V8 model Ford F-150 can tow over 12,000 pounds and has a payload of just over 3200 pounds. That’s performance.
The Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup looks bigger all around. The Super Duty series is about power with increased torque. It allows for larger payloads and trailer hauling. The standard models come with a 6.2-liter V8 engine that delivers a super strong 405 ft/lbs torque and 385 hp. The suspension is an Independent twin I-Beam suspension with coil springs, shock absorbers, and a stabilizer bar in the F-250. The engine to watch in the new F-250 is the 6.7-liter power stroke V8 diesel engine that delivers an amazing 440 hp and 880 ft/lbs of torque in 2016. This incredible trailer and payload capacity make the F-250 a king of the road.
Ford outfitted the F-150 with a corrosion-resistant aluminum body in 2015. The same body adorns the F-150 in all trim levels. The F-150 comes with a choice of a 5.5 ft box, a 6.5 ft box, and an 8 ft box. The F-150 offers a chrome package, a short package, heavy-duty payload packages, and a conventional package.
Ford installed the F-150 aluminum body on the Super Duty trucks in 2016. With increased body dimensions, the F-250 casts a big shadow on the road. You can get the F-250 in regular cab, super cab, and super crew cab. The F-250 offers the 6.5 ft and 8 ft box options that the F-150 offers. You can get the F-250 in regular cab, super cab, and super crew cab. The F-250’s multiple packages cover all the bases, with the XL, LT, King Ranch, Platinum, and Lariat.
With a 4-wheel vented-disc ABS brakes standard on all Ford F-150s, Ford’s commitment to safety is clear. Included in the F-150 package are two sets of the front, driver, and passenger airbags and safety canopy side airbags. The curve control in the AdvanceTrac system slows the F-150 down on tight road bends. Other safety features include an anti-theft system and an SOS post-collision alert system. Optional equipment includes a keyless entry and a perimeter anti-theft alarm system. The F-250 packages offer the same features minus the curve control, and it comes standard with all their trim levels with a passenger-side airbag deactivation switch added to the F-250.
If you need a truck for light-duty work, everyday commute, or a hearty tow vehicle, Ford has two fine options in the F-150 and F-250. Stop by your Ford dealership and test drive the trucks. Find out why Ford outperforms every other truck on the road.
