How much does a Ford F-250 XL Cost?
The Ford F-250 XL, at its very cheapest, costs about $45,000. This is for the regular cab option, the base 6.8 V8 gas engine that gets 430 horsepower and 485 pound-feet of torque, and two-wheel drive. Adding 4WD increases that price by $2,790, and adding more options can rapidly increase the price.
For example, going for the 6.7 turbo diesel engine adds $10,000 to your overall price but also adds more power with 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque. Adding the high output 6.7 liter adds $12,500, 500 horsepower and 1,200 pound feet of torque.
While every addition does cost money you end up saving more than if you were to go one trim up for the XLT. Preselecting for the XLT only adds a few features such as an 8 way power driver seat, integrated trailer brake control, and trailer sway control. The XL starts again around $45,000 while the XLT starts around $51,105.
Another decision is whether to spring for a bigger cab, and individuals usually go for a Crew Cab which is a lot cheaper than you think, as it only bumps the price on the XL up to about $48,750. The biggest change in price will be going for a diesel engine or the higher powered 7.3 liter V8 engine which also adds about $9,000 to your starting price.
How much horsepower does a 2024 6.7 PowerStroke have?
The 2024 6.7 PowerStroke turbodiesel engine makes for 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound feet of torque. When equipped properly this engine can tow up to 22,800 pounds which is an impressive feat all on its own. This is the most common iteration of the diesel engine found on a work site or hauling livestock.
The high output 6.7 liter diesel engine is a whole beast on its own. The high output Power Stroke diesel engine can tow up to 40,000 pounds when properly equipped, that is a result of the engines incredible output coming in with 500 horsepower and 1,200 pound-feet output.
The other two engines available on the Super Duty are both gas engines, and respectable in their own right. The base engine is a 6.8 liter V8 that outputs 430 horses and 485 pound-feet of torque. This engine can tow up to 17,300 pounds which means you can tow a wide variety of trailers, boats and other toys right out of the gate. If you want more power out of a gas engine, look no further than the 7.3 liter V8 which outputs 430 horsepower and 485 pound-feet of torque as well, but can haul up to 18,200 pounds.
Why is Ford stopping production of Super Duty?
Ford is not stopping production of the F Series Super Duty as it continues to be one of the most popular work trucks on the market. There was a single production plant that made a change to their production style and decided that they needed to stop production for three days. The plant manager made this decision as workers and engineers needed to resolve issues with defective parts. This was the only news we could find on why rumors might be circulating that production stopped on the Super Duty.
The ever-popular work truck just went through a complete redesign along with its smaller brother the F-150. This means that Ford wants to continue production of the Super Duty pickup for at least the next 6 to 10 years. Barring any major disruptions to the economy, or world at large we imagine the Super Duty pickup line will continue for much longer than that.
The Ford Super Duty XL excels at getting the job done
Work trucks are an important part of life in America. Without this class of heavy haulers and hard workers we don’t think any farms would run, and construction sites would be sorely pressed to get their work done.
The Super Duty XL is a great truck because most workers don’t need a truck with frills and gadgets, they just need a truck that gets the job done.
