Answer 2

yes there are differences. Most of the other repliers are dead on as to what the differences are. F150's get a softer suspension as well as semi-floating axles. Semi-floating axles means that the weight of the vehicle sits directly on the axleshaft. Overall the engines available are not different. Current models the F150 gets the 4.2L V6, 4.6L & 5.4L V8's Older trucks (80's/90's) was the 300I6 302, 351W. While the F250/350 get the 5.4LV8, 6.8L V10 and Diesel V8's Older (80's/90's) F250/350s were available with the 300I6, 351W, 460 and V8 diesel. F250/350 get stiffer suspension rates and Full-Floater axles, a Full Floater axle is an axle where the weight is placed directly onto the housing itself and the axleshaft has no weight on it all it does is turn. The tires between 2 differ as well. ALL F-series get LT tires but the Load ratings are different. F-150's get a C-load range 250/350 get a D or an E load range tire. All this means is that the sidewall of the tire has more layers to it to help support a higher load. This also creates a stiffer ride since the sidewalls can't flex as much. The transmissions are all the same but the 250/350 will have an external transmission fluid cooling unit to help keep the fluid cool under heavy use. Hope that helped

Answer 4

F-150s are 1/2 ton trucks. F-250s & F-350s are 3/4 & 1 tons respectively. Tires on F-150s are 'P' rated for passenger use. Tires on F-250s & F-350s are 'LT' rated for light truck use, which means they are intended for carrying heavier loads. Engine choices on an F-150 are as follows: 4.2L V6, 4.6L SOHC V8, 5.4L SOHC 3-valve V8. Engine choices on F-250s & F-350s are as follows: 5.4L SOHC 3-valve V8, 6.8L SOHC 3-valve V10, 6.0L DIT V8. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

150= 1/2 ton
250= 3/4 ton
350= 1 ton

150 gets a 6 cylinder or 4.6 or 5.4 V8

250 & 350 gets 5.4 v8 or V10 or Diesel

the tires vary with the package you buy be it the FX4, tow, or base model

Answer 6

There is definately tire difference because they are designed to haul different weights. You can't get a diesel in the 150.

Answer 7

go to kbb.com and look up the engine sizes and yes the tire sizes are different

Answer 8

THE TIRES ARE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE TRUCKS ARE MADE TO CARRY DIFFERENT WEIGHTS--DUH! YOU CANNOT GET DIESEL OR DUALLY IN THE F-150 AND ALSO THE ENGINES ARE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE TO PULL AND TOW DIFFERENT WEIGHTS---VISIT FORD.COM FOR MORE SPECIFICATIONS.
