Compare 2027 Ford F250 vs F350

Powertrains and Configurations

Both the Ford F-250 and F-350 share available cab options and trim levels. Each heavy-duty truck is available with a Crew Cab, Regular Cab, and SuperCab option, with trims including the XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum.

The Ford F-250 and F-350 offer two engine options:

• 7.3-liter V8 engine: 430 horsepower and 485 pound-feet of torque
• 6.7-liter turbodiesel V8 engine: 500 horsepower and 1,200 pound-feet of torque

Usually, the deciding factor for Colorado Springs area drivers comparing these heavy-duty trucks comes down to payload and towing ability, as each model shares many of the same configuration and powertrain options.

Towing Capacity

Both our new Ford Super Duty trucks can handle significant towing duties, including equipment trailers, cargo trailers, horse trailers, RVs, and more. The Ford F-250 Super Duty is built for a wide range of substantial towing needs, offering up to 22,000 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped. In comparison, the Ford F-350 Super Duty offers a maximum towing capacity of 24,000 pounds with proper equipment.

As the weight of the trailer increases, more weight is placed on the truck itself. Pin weight can often consume a significant portion of your vehicle's payload rating, and this is where the Ford F-350 often separates itself for drivers looking for higher capacity.

Choose the Ford F-250 if:

• Your loaded trailer and payload fit the truck's ratings
• You prioritize daily drivability
• You prefer a single rear-wheel configuration

Choose the Ford F-350 if:

• Fifth-wheel pin weight requires more payload capacity
• Dual-rear-wheel configuration is preferred

Payload and Hauling

Payload capacity is a significant distinction between the two Super Duty trucks. The Ford F-350 offers a maximum payload rating of 4,613 pounds with the King Ranch trim, compared to the Ford F-250, which offers a max payload of 3,572 pounds. If you are towing and hauling at the same time, the Ford F-350 gives you added capacity for the toughest jobs in Denver, CO, and Englewood, CO.

Choose the Ford F-250 if:

• Hauling duties remain comfortably within the truck's ratings
• Maximum payload is not a limiting requirement for your work or driving needs

Choose the Ford F-350 if:

• You need to tow and haul heavy loads at the same time
• Additional payload capacity gives you more room to manage heavier loads

Ownership and Everyday Use

The Ford F-250 Super Duty is known for its practical balance of strong heavy-duty performance and everyday drivability. If you need a commuter that can also handle tough jobs, the F-250 is a versatile option. Ford F-350 Super Duty models offer similar drive qualities, often picked by drivers who need higher towing and payload capacity.

Choose the Ford F-250 if:

• You prioritize a balance of capability and everyday practicality
• You plan to balance commuting, jobsite driving, and personal use

Choose the Ford F-350 if:

• Commercial or fleet work needs a higher-capacity platform
• You plan to integrate future equipment or trailers that may increase payload demands
