Ford F250 Super Duty review notes power and fuel costs
The Ford F250 Super Duty with Power Stroke diesel delivers strong towing up to 12,500 pounds and smooth five speed shifts. It slows predictably with accelerator lift, but fuel economy lags at about 10 mpg, with diesel at roughly $4.15 a gallon raising a 300 mile trip fuel bill over $120. The cab offers high seating while rear visibility is limited by the tall bed, though a rearview camera and parking sensors help. Standard safety is limited to airbags and ABS with traction control optional.
