Information on repair and maintenance of Ford F-250 cars electronically
The F-250 is a full-size pickup truck produced by the American automaker Ford Motor Company and is part of the Ford F-Series.
The Ford F-Series is a series of light trucks and medium trucks sold and manufactured by Ford Motor Company. In production since 1948, the F series includes full-size pickup trucks, truck chassis and commercial vehicles. As of 2019, the Ford F-Series includes the F-150 Raptor, Super Duty Class 3-5 trucks (Ford F-250 - Ford F-550) and Super Duty Class 6-8 trucks (Ford F-650, Ford F- 750).
The Ford F-Series has been one of the best selling and most successful cars in the world, in addition to being the most commercialized in the United States for the past 43 years.
The first F series was introduced in 1948 to replace the previous line of Ford pickups. It was a modern pickup truck with a one-piece windshield and built-in headlights. The model was available in three versions: Ford F-1, Ford F-2 and Ford F3.
The second generation Ford F series was redesigned in 1953 and various versions were also rebadged: F-100, F-250 and F-350 heavy duty. The interior equipment has also been expanded with a lamp, cigarette lighter, armrests and sun visors.
In 1997, Ford overhauled the F-series models. This facelift was the most important since 1980 and was therefore heavily advertised. With the new version, the models now had a more rounded front end. More generally, the model range has been revolutionized in favor of aerodynamic aspects. The interior has also been revised.
The Ford F-250 was essentially a Ford F-150 with some beefed up components such as the suspension. Body panels remain the same. Two models of the F-250 were offered: basic (light) and HD (heavy).
The new generation also features new high-performance motors. A 4.2 L OHV V6 engine based on the 3.8 L Ford Essex V6 engine replaced the 4.9 L six-cylinder OHV inline engine. And the 4.6L and 5.4L single-shaft V8 engines replaced the 5L and 5.8L overhead valve engines.
The 7.5 L V8 engine found in the larger models was replaced by a 6.8 L V10 engine. The 4.6L and 5.4L V8 engines were sold under the name Triton.
In 1999, to bridge the gap between its pickup line and mid-sized trucks, Ford introduced the Ford F-250 and Ford F-350 as Super Duty trucks. The Super Duty Series, considered an extension of the F Series, is built on a unique chassis architecture with heavy duty components. In 2000, the Super Duty line was expanded to include Ford medium trucks.
Ford F-250's main competitors are Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra HD 2500/3500, Ram 2500/3500 Heavy-Duty and, to a certain extent, Nissan Titan XD.
