Overview

Part of the fullsize pickup truck segment, the 2012 Ford F-250 SuperDuty Regular Cab competes with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Regular Cab, the GMC Sierra 2500HD Regular Cab, and the RAM 2500 Regular cab. A base price of MSRP $29,065 gets you a 6.2L V8 and a 6-speed automatic transmission. Despite the price going up to $35,770, this single powertrain is found in all two trims. This engine produces 385 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque, achieving a 0-60 of 8.3 seconds, and is offered as both an RWD and 4WD. The 2012 Ford F-250 SuperDuty Regular Cab offers a single 8.1 feet cab with a payload capacity of 3,650 pounds. It also offers a healthy towing capacity of 12,500 pounds. 

Buying Advice

We certainly took a liking to the XLT trim as it has optional features like steering-wheel-mounted audio system, Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, and so forth. If you the kind of persona as well that has to regular tow heavy loads the 5th Wheel Hitch Kit ($1,295).
