Check Out Our New Ford F-250 in Des Moines!!
Two engines are available for the Ford F-250 which are a 6.7-liter turbo-diesel V-8 and a 6.2-liter gas V-8. Both engines team with a heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission. The standard 6.2 liter engine can run on regular gas or E85 Ethanol.The fact that the engine can run on E85 Ethanol means that it is better for the environment. It produces 385 horsepower and 405 pounds-feet of torque. The 6.7 liter turbo uses regular diesel fuel or a blend of up to 20 percent biodiesel and produces 400 hp and a massive 800 pounds-feet of torque at 1,600 rpm. Biodiesel is considered vegetable oils, so biodiesel is supposed to be better for the environment. For the new 2012 Ford F-250, Ford engineers found a way to build a strengthened frame and trailer hitch provides 17,500 pounds of conventional towing capacity.
The Ford F-250 is considerably quieter in regard to wind and road noise than its competitors. With regard to going up hills, the diesel climbs with ease, and the six-speed automatic never labors, nor does it get caught hunting for the right gear. Descending is also made simple thanks to the well-managed automatic transmission teaming up with the diesel's exhaust brake.
