Fresh from a major restyling and reengineering in 1999, the 2000 Ford F250 features loads of changes and new developments. These include a more comfortable flip-up 40/60 rear seat and an improved 18-degree rear seating angle in the F-150 SuperCab. Aside from these, chromed steel wheels and 17-inch tires, previously available on 4x4 models only, are now available on 4x2 models as well. All these come with the attributes the Ford F250 has been known for: heavier frame, larger brakes, higher-capacity wheels and 8,800 pounds towing capability.

 

The F250 is offered with a standard 4.2-liter V6 engine, an optional 4.6-liter V-8, and an optional 5.4-liter V8. F-250 models also offer a 6.8-liter V10 engine and a Power Stroke diesel V8. And there are a myriad of choices with the F250's various configurations and trims. There are 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions, short and long cargo beds, standard and four-door SuperCab extended cabs, flat (Styleside) and fendered (Flareside) bed styles, two- and four-wheel drive models, and four trim levels: Work, XL, XLT, and Lariat.

 

In terms of performance, the Ford F250 Super duty handled better on the road than off-road. With its impressive ride height, it really gives the driver a feeling of supremacy and security. Moreover, braking is excellent. In off-road performance, meanwhile, the Ford F250 performs better than expected although ground clearance is deemed too low. Traction and off-road comfort are the best points.
