2022 Ford F-150 vs Ford F-250

​

Towing Strength: Where Do You Plan on Taking Your Truck?

Think about this question for a minute, because the answer just might help you determine if the Ford F-150 or F-250 is your best option.

If you’re looking to haul your fishing boat down to Phelps Lake for a morning on the water, we suggest test driving the F-150. Its maximum towing capacity of 14,000 pounds is plenty of strength to tow even the largest pontoon or small sailboat. Plus, if you need space for your rods, bait, and tackle, the F-150 also offers 3,325 pounds of maximum payload.

Perhaps, instead you’d like to take the RV on the White Deer Ranch Campground? If that’s the case, the Ford F-250 is great for towing big toys! In fact, it can tow a maximum of 37,000 pounds. We should also mention that this larger towing capacity allows for hefty equipment, too, like construction vehicles. It’s a wonderful option for both work and play.

Interior Options of the F-150 vs F-250

Next, let’s step inside both of these trucks to check out their respective interior cabins.

For the most part, the interiors of both the Ford F-150 and the F-250 are quite similar. For instance, they each have 40.8 inches of front headroom and 43.9 inches of front legroom. Another parallel between these two pickups is their optional under floor storage, which is ideal for safely stowing valuables out of sight.

As for comforts, both also offer available dual-zone electric climate control, allowing both driver and front-passenger to set their own comfort settings. When it’s chilly, an optional heated steering wheel, as well as heated front seats bring warmth to the lower extremities.

Ford F-150 vs F-250: Smart Towing Features & Additional Safety

Last, but certainly not least, let’s discuss safety. Both the Ford F-150 and the Ford F-250 offer plenty of ways to stay safe on the roads, particularly when it comes to towing.

One of our favorites is the BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Trailer Coverage. This optional safety system will send an alert if a vehicle is detected within your truck or trailer’s blind spot zones. Plus, using the available telescoping trailer tow mirrors gives an even better look at what you’re towing. This ultimately provides added confidence on wide turns and lane changes.

Speaking of lane changing, the available Lane-Keeping System knows if you begin to drift from your designated lane and will send an alert so you can get back on track.
