2021 F-250 at a Glance

Under the hood of the new F-250 Super Duty is a choice of three torque-rich V8 engines. You can also choose the truck in regular cab, SuperCab, or crew cab configurations with a short 6.75-foot bed or a longer 8.0-foot bed. The truck is available in six trim levels:

  • Platinum trim
  • Limited trim

Minor 2021 Refresh 

The 2021 F-250 Super Duty gets minor changes including the addition of carbonized gray metallic, lithium gray metallic, and antimatter blue metallic, to the color palette. There’s an available XL Power Equipment package that equips the base XL model truck with manually adjustable folding-and-telescoping functions and trailer-tow mirrors with heated glass. All trims now have an optional bed step for easier truck access.

Engine and Transmission 

The new F-250 Super Duty comes in a base 6.2L gas V8 engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, which makes 385hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. There’s a 7.3-liter gas-powered V8 engine mated to a TorqShift 10-speed automatic transmission to make 430hp and 475 lb-ft of torque. The towing champion is a 6.7-liter turbodiesel V8 engine with a 10-speed transmission that produces 475 hp and best-in-class 1050 lb-ft of torque.

Off-Roading Tremor Package

The F-250 Tremor Package available in trims above the base XL gives the Super Duty truck a more rugged look and enhanced off-roading capability. Some features in this package include upgraded front springs for a ride height increase, performance front and rear shock absorbers, rock crawl mode and trail control mode, 35” Goodyear maximum-traction tires, and skid plates.

F-250 Super Duty Capability
