Large, in charge and not particularly subtle, the F-250's exterior styling reveals much of what you need to know about this truck - especially the locomotive-like hood and grille, which hints at the big power that lurks beneath.

The standard engine is a 6.2-liter gasoline V8 that produces 385 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque, but most buyers opt for a 6.7-liter turbodiesel V8 that boasts 400 horsepower and 800 lb-ft of earth-moving torque. Both engines shift through a six-speed automatic transmission.

When properly equipped, diesel F-250 models have a maximum payload capacity of 4,240 pounds and are capable of towing up

Rear-wheel-drive models use a twin I-beam front suspension, while four-wheel-drive variants utilize a live front axle. Both feature a live rear axle along with leaf springs at all four corners. These suspension setups play a big part in the F-250's strong payload and towing ratings, although the tradeoff comes in the form of jittery ride without a load in the bed. The same, of course, can be said for most other similarly sized and similarly capable pickups. Handling is predictable for the most part, although aloof steering means it can be tough to place the big truck accurately at times.

The range-topping Platinum gets copious amounts of chrome adorning the door handles, mirror caps, running boards, exhaust tip and tow hook, perforated mesh accents and a satin chrome surround for the grille, and unique 20-inch wheels. Inside, there's unique faux-wood trim, heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel and premium leather upholstery.

An available FX4 Off-Road Package prepares the F-250 for tackling tough trails with Rancho shocks, an electronic locking rear differential, skid plates, hill descent control and all-terrain tires.
