Ford F-150 vs Ford F-250 Super Duty

In its 14th generation and two years after a modest refresh, the 2026 Ford F-150 reshuffles standard and optional equipment across its eight trims, three beds, three cabs, and six powertrains. The electric F-150 Lightning ended production after the 2025 model year, leaving with it the potential for a plug-in hybrid in a future generation. For this test, we grabbed a low-level trim — the STX Lobo — to see how the F-150 fares with a traditional V8 and fewer features.

Verdict: The F-150 is the full-size truck with the most versatility and configurations on the market today.

The 2025 Ford F-250 is a versatile and capable workhorse that can haul impressive loads while also delivering an abundance of luxury, comfort, and technology. It's unbeaten with its 10,430-kilogram (23,000-pound) towing capacity, and with a deep roster of configurations to choose from, there's likely one that matches your budget and needs.

Verdict: With unmatched towing capacity at a comparable price to other heavy-duty pickups, the F-250 is a compelling package.
