2000 Ford F250
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.
