Overview

Part of the fullsize pickup truck segment, the 2016 Ford F-250 SuperDuty Regular Cab competes with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Regular Cab, the RAM 2500 Regular Cab, and the GMC Sierra 2500HD Regular Cab. A base price of MSRP $32,385 gets you a 6.2L V8 and a 6-speed automatic transmission. Despite the price going up to $39,175, this single powertrain is found in both trims. This engine produces 385 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque, achieving a 0-60 of 8.6 seconds, and is offered as both RWD and 4WD. The Ford F-250 SuperDuty Regular Cab offers a single 8 feet cab with a payload capacity of 3,890 pounds. It also offers a healthy towing capacity of 12,500 pounds.

Buying Advice

Plenty of modern features are available only in the top XLT trim. Therefore, we choose it over the base trim and it comes standard with cruise control, a Ford Sync voice command system, a four-speaker sound system, rear privacy glass, heated outside mirrors, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, USB/iPod interface, and a wide array of laudable features.
