We are commonly getting asked what the difference between all the Ford trucks is. They do have a lot, and it can be overwhelming. There are three main Ford pickup trucks the F-150, F-250, and the F-350. At the core, the differences are simple, the F-150 is a light-duty, half-ton truck, the F-250 is a three-quarter-ton, heavy-duty truck, and the F-350 is a one-ton heavy-duty truck. What does this mean for you? The jobs that these trucks were built to do and can handle. Keep reading if you would like to know more about the capabilities of these outstanding trucks.
What is the size difference between the F-150, F-250, and F-350?
All three of these Ford trucks share a common cab structure. Meaning that from the A-pillar to the rear of the cab, they are the same. Interior details vary a bit to help differentiate between them. However, dimensionally are all the same. The engine bay is different between the three, rightfully so to accommodate the bigger engines. Box lengths are also different. They also have far different GVWR or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. The F-150 has a GVWR of up to 7,150lbs, the F-250’s GVWR is 10,000lbs, and the F-350’s GVWR is up to 12,400lbs.
