Whether you hail from nearby Paulding OH or Auburn, IN, it doesn’t take more than a drive down the road to see that pickup trucks are among the most popular pickups on the road today. But of all the new trucks on the road today, few can hold a candle to the new 2023 Ford F-150 and 2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty. These two trucks define the light duty truck and heavy-duty truck segments respectively. And if you’d like to learn more about which one is best for you, we’d love to be of service to you here at our new Ford truck dealership here in Hicksville, OH.
Size
As a light-duty truck, the new Ford F-150 is perhaps the most prominent member of our new Ford F-150 lineup. Often called a half-ton pickup, this truck is an all-purpose vehicle, well-equipped for both day-to-day driving around the greater New Haven, IN area or use as a work truck over in Paulding, OH.
On the other hand, the new Ford F-250 Super Duty is a heavy-duty pickup, meaning its substantially larger than the new Ford F-150 and suited for more industrial or commercial applications. Now, that doesn’t mean that folks don’t use it as their daily driving truck, but it’s more at home hauling flatbed trailers and campers down the highway than it is traversing city streets.
Ultimately, the main difference between the Ford F-150 and the Ford F-250 are the beds they offer. Ford F-150 beds range in length from a 5.5-foot short bed to an 8-foot long bed, while the Ford F-250 Super Duty offers beds ranging in length from the 6.8-foot short bed to 8.2-foot long bed.
Performance
On the performance front, both truck feature widely differing powertrain options. The Ford F-150 offers an array of powertrains including everything from a stout EcoBoost® turbocharged V6 engine to a stellar supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine, topping out at 700 horsepower in total. It even offer an hybrid electric Ford PowerBoost® powertrain that delivers the perfect blend of brawn and efficiency. When properly equipped, the new Ford F-150 can confidently tow up to 14,000 pounds.
On the other hand, the new Ford F-250 Super Duty has fewer engine options, but more power overall available. With your choice between a 7.3-liter gas V8 engine to a Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel V8 engine, the new Ford F-250 Super Duty can top out at 1,200 pound-feet of torque. When properly equipped, the new Ford F-250 Super Duty can move towing payloads of up to 18,000 pounds, so its perfect for commercial towing applications.
Interior
Both the new Ford F-150 and Ford F-250 Super Duty have Regular Cab, SuperCab, and SuperCrew configurations, affording space for anywhere from three to six passengers. Naturally, as the larger model, the new Ford F-250 Super Duty has more interior space. However, both models come well-equipped with both utilitarian trims with easy to clean interior upholstery and materials to luxe and upscale cabins perfect for long drives around Butler, IN

Smart tech can be found on both the new Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-150, including features like the Ford SYNC® 4 infotainment system to conveniences like Trailer Reverse Guidance that make it easier to maneuver with a payload.
