The F-250 is Ford's Super Duty full-sized single rear-wheel (SRW) truck. The F-250 manages to mix innovation, comfort, and style into a competitive vehicle that has impressive torque ratings, towing capacities, and payloads.

The 2012 F-250 is available as a 4x2 or a 4x4, has three different cab configurations, and has three trims available. The rugged and reliable XL, the well equipped XLT, and the luxurious Lariat. Two engine choices include a standard 6.2-liter 385-hp Triton V8 with 405 lb.-ft. of torque or the optional and innovative 6.7-liter turbo 400-hp V8 Powerstroke diesel with 800 lb.-ft. of torque. Both engines are mated to a new TorqShift six-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift and a Tow/Haul mode. The F-250 offers standard amenities such as traction control and electronic stability control, a hill launch assist feature, side curtain airbags, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel and trailer sway control. Available features include a supplemental cab heater, a reverse camera system, upfitter switches, a navigation system, a remote start system, satellite radio, SYNC, and a rear folding tailgate step. Also, the unique Ford Work Solution options provide innovative solutions for trucks used in the work place.

For 2012, the Ford F-250 adds MyKey on the XL trim. On the XLT and Lariat trims, new standard features include 1-touch up and 1-touch down front driver and passenger windows and 4-way adjustable front head restraints.
