Comparing engines in the Ford F-250 for sale near Alva, OK
The Ford F-250 Super Duty truck in our new Ford inventorywins right out of the gate by offering three engine choices while the Ram 2500 gives you only two. Ford starts with a standard 6.8-liter V8 with an output of 400 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. The Ram 2500 has a 6.4-liter V8 that only delivers 429 pound-feet of torque, and that has a negative impact on its towing capability.
Both heavy-duty trucks offer 6.7-liter diesel engine choices but the F-250 is a turbo-diesel V8 while the Ram 2500 diesel only has six cylinders. Ford's low-output version generates 475 horsepower which is more than the 430 horsepower you'd get with the Ram 2500. What's especially compelling is that the high-output diesel engine in the Ford F-250 gives you 500 horsepower and an amazing 1200 pound-feet of torque, which handily beats the most the Ram 2500 has to offer. So overall, the Ford F-250 Super Duty truck gives you more options and more torque, which allows you to get more towing capacity.
