2026 Ford F-250 XLT

The 2026 F-250 is Ford's heavy-duty pickup, built for serious towing and hauling work. It competes with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and Ram 2500 in the heavy-duty truck segment. The F-250 drives with the solid, planted feel you expect from a heavy-duty truck, though the ride can be firm when unloaded. Inside, the cabin is roomy and functional, with available leather-trimmed seats and a large touchscreen in higher trims. The XLT is the sweet spot for buyers who want more content than the basic XL but aren't ready for a leather-lined Lariat. This XLT pairs the burly 7.3l Devct Na Pfi V8 Engine with four-wheel drive, giving you plenty of grunt for heavy trailers without the diesel's added cost or upkeep. The FX4 Off-Road Package adds skid plates and an electronic-locking rear axle, making this XLT ready for muddy job sites or rough trails.
