Performance
The 2026 F-250 offers serious muscle for towing, hauling, and long highway pulls, with engines tailored for different kinds of Carlisle work.
- 6.8-liter gas V8 – 405 horsepower / 445 pound feet of torque.
- 7.3-liter gas V8 – 430 horsepower / 485 pound feet of torque.
- 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8 – 475 horsepower / 1,050 pound feet of torque.
- High-output 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel – 500 horsepower / 1,200 pound feet of torque.
With the right configuration, conventional towing can reach around 22,000 pounds, and even higher with fifth-wheel or gooseneck setups. Trailer tow modes, an integrated trailer brake controller, available onboard scales, and smart hitch and backup assists all work together to keep big loads feeling well within the truck's comfort zone.
Interior
Inside, the 2026 F-250 is built for Chambersburg drivers who spend real time in their trucks, sometimes all week long. Materials are chosen for durability and comfort, from tough vinyl and cloth in work-focused trims to premium leather and soft-touch surfaces in the higher levels. Crew Cab models offer generous rear legroom, and rear seat bottoms flip up to reveal hidden storage for tools and gear.
- Available 8 inch or 12 inch center touchscreen.
- Large center console with room for a laptop or files.
- Available heated and ventilated front seats.
- Max Recline front seats on select trims.
- Plenty of USB ports and power outlets.
The cabin can feel like a rolling office during the week and an easy-going family hauler on the weekend, without sacrificing the rugged edge that defines Super Duty.
Exterior
The 2026 F-250 looks every bit the part of a heavy-duty truck: tall stance, bold grille, and signature C-clamp lighting that ties it to the rest of the Ford truck lineup. But there is a lot of practicality hidden in the sheet metal and bed features.
- Two bed lengths: roughly 6.75 foot and 8 foot.
- Integrated bed steps and available rear corner steps.
- Available LED box lighting.
- Optional power tailgate with built-in work surface.
- Available Pro Power Onboard in-bed outlets.
Tech and Safety
Heavy-duty no longer means bare-bones. The 2026 F-250 leans on modern technology to keep you connected, informed, and a little less tired at the end of the day.
- SYNC 4 with responsive, high-res touchscreen.
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- Available premium audio system.
- FordPass app connectivity for remote access.
Driver-assist technology is there to support you, especially when the truck is fully loaded or you are logging serious highway miles.
- Pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking.
- Blind spot information system with trailer coverage.
- Lane-keeping assist and driver alert features.
- Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go.
- 360 degree camera system with trailer views.
These systems do not replace driver skill, but they help make towing, parking, and long Gettysburg days behind the wheel noticeably less stressful.
