2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty Lariat

The F-250 Super Duty is Ford's heavy-duty pickup, the one you step up to when a half-ton just isn't enough for towing or hauling. It drives with the authority you expect from a truck this size, and the steering is direct enough that you always know where the front wheels are pointed. The ride is firm when empty, but that's the trade-off for the payload capacity, and it settles down nicely once you have weight in the bed. Inside, the cabin is roomy and functional, with a straightforward layout that puts the important controls within easy reach. The Lariat sits between the work-oriented XLT and the luxury-focused Platinum, adding leather seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and the SYNC infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen. This one has the optional 6.7L Power Stroke diesel V8 making 440 horsepower, paired with a automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, so it pulls heavy trailers with the authority you expect from a heavy-duty pickup. The Lariat's available Ultimate package adds heated and cooled front seats, a power-sliding rear window, and a Sony premium audio system with a subwoofer.
