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. Stepping up to the XLT adds cloth seats with an eight-way power driver seat, power tailgate lock, and trailer tow mirrors over the XL. Under the hood is the 6.7L 8-Cylinder V-Shaped making 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque, paired with a ten-speed automatic and four-wheel drive for confident towing. Standard trailer brake controller and hill start assist make heavy towing easier right from the factory.
