The 2021 Ford F-250 brings many powerful engines to the table around Tehama County. The base 6.2-liter flex-fuel gas V8 already works well enough to get the job done, but with the available 7.3-liter OHV PFI gas V8 engine, you can go above and beyond. 430 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque lead full-size pickup class, offering the most powerful engine setup. Add on a best conventional towing rating of 21,000 pounds and a best-in-class payload rating of 7,850 pounds, and you've got yourself a winner. And, finally, tow huge loads with a gooseneck tow rating of 37,000 pounds.
