Which F-Series Truck Is Right for You?
The right Ford depends on how much you tow, how much payload you carry and how often you use your truck for work.
Everyday Truck
Choose the F-150 if you want a full-size pickup for commuting, family use, recreation, moderate towing and everyday work.
Heavy-Duty Work
The F-250 is a strong choice when an F-150 is no longer enough but you don't necessarily need a dual-rear-wheel truck.
More Payload & Towing
Choose the F-350 when you need more capability, especially with dual-rear-wheel configurations for demanding trailer and payload applications.
Maximum Towing
The F-450 is engineered for customers who regularly tow very heavy trailers and want maximum factory towing capability.
Work + Off-Road
The 2027 Super Duty Tremor expansion gives customers more ways to combine serious work capability with factory off-road equipment.
Simple & Rugged
The new 2027 XL Off-Road 35-Inch Tire Package is aimed at buyers who want a rugged work-truck appearance and off-road hardware without unnecessary luxury equipment.
