whats the difference between the Ford F150, F250 and the F350 truck series?

Answer 1

F150 is a half ton truck and comes in either 6 cylinder or 8 cylinder engine. It is usually for personal use, or a light work truck

F250 is 3/4 ton truck and comes in 8 cylinder gas engines or 7.4 diesel or 6 diesel if 2004 or newer. It is used as a work truck, snow plowing, towing a fairly heavy trailor, and so on

F350 is a 1 ton, which as does the F250 comes in with 8 cylinder engines or diesel. It can tow heavier trailors, snow plowing ( commerical )

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

F150 are good for tons of things, the new ones tow great. Don't get me wrong so did the old ones but the new ones got more sh*t! My boyfriend just got a new 2006 F150 about 5 months ago and he traded his old 1997 F150 in on it and they were both V8's and pretty much the same engine but he still can't be leave the difference when he hooks a trailer to it! We go 4 wheeler riding all the time and with his old truck you could tell when you had (1) big 4x4 and (1) racer on the trailer know with the new one you can't tell that you have (2 or 3) big 4x4's on the trailer.

And his father has and F350 so that he can tow his massive fifth wheel camper. But it all depends on what you want to haul with it and how much power you want! Hope this helps you!

Answer 5

"first F-series truck (known as the Ford Bonus) from Ford was introduced in 1948, replacing the company's previous car-based pickup line. It was a modern-looking truck with a one-piece windshield and integrated headlights. The F-series was available as three models:

* F-1: half-ton
* F-2: three-quarter-ton
* F-3: Heavy Duty
"

"For 1999, new F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks were introduced. These were large pickup trucks with heavier frames and many heavier components than the F-150."

Answer 7

F-150 is a 1/2 ton, F-250 is 3/4 ton, and F-350 is a 1 ton.... as you go up, they are more heavy duty; for example, F-250 and up is for 5th wheel, snow plow, tow truck etc... F-150 is lighter, on the newer ones they are good for just shy of 10,000 lbs towing, depending on model, engine and rear axle. If you are looking for specifics, email me what you are looking at doing, and I could help.

Answer 8

it is all about work duty load, the higher the number the more it can tow and so on

if you are doing light work the F150 is way more of a real truck then you need, it can go all the way up to mid duty load for you
