Ford F-250 Super Duty vs. Ford F-350 Super Duty
The 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2026 Ford F-350 Super Duty both carry serious towing muscle, but the frame, axle, and payload numbers underneath them aren't the same truck twice. Szott Ford in Holly, MI, stocks both heavy-duty trucks for sale, and picking between them comes down to what's on the hitch and how heavy the loads get.

Shared Engine Lineup and Transmission
The Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty share the same four engine choices, so power alone isn't what separates them.
- 6.8-liter V8 gas engine making 405 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque
- 7.3-liter V8 gas engine making 430 horsepower
- 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8 making 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque
- 6.7-liter High Output Power Stroke diesel V8 making 500 horsepower and 1,200 pound-feet of torque
Every engine pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission on both trucks. A crew hauling equipment along I-75 between Clarkston, MI, and Grand Blanc, MI, gets the same diesel torque whether the truck on the lot is an F-250 or an F-350.
Towing and Payload: Where the Two Trucks Split
Frame construction and axle setup separate these two Super Duty trucks once towing enters the picture.
- Ford F-250 Super Duty: up to 22,000 pounds conventional towing, up to 23,000 pounds with a gooseneck setup, and payload up to 4,246 pounds
- Ford F-350 Super Duty: up to 28,000 pounds conventional towing, up to 38,000 pounds with a gooseneck setup, and payload up to 8,000 pounds with the available dual rear wheel package
A contractor near White Lake, MI, pulling a single equipment trailer most weeks stays comfortably within F-250 territory. A buyer near Waterford Township, MI, towing a gooseneck livestock trailer or a large fifth-wheel camper gets more room to work with from the F-350, especially in dual rear wheel form.
Cab, Bed, and Trim Options
Both the 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2026 Ford F-350 Super Duty offer Regular Cab, SuperCab, and Crew Cab body styles, each paired with a 6.75-foot or eight-foot bed. Regular Cab models seat up to three on a front bench, while SuperCab and Crew Cab configurations open up to six with a bench seat or five with front buckets.
Trim levels run identically across both trucks for 2026: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum. The XL starts with vinyl seating and a work-truck focus, with cloth available as a low-cost upgrade. Leatherette shows up on mid-tier trims, and full leather arrives on King Ranch and Platinum. A power moonroof is available on Crew Cab models starting at XLT, and the off-road-focused Tremor package can now be paired with the standard-output diesel for 2026, opening it up to buyers who want capability without stepping up to the high-output engine.
Axle configuration is where the two trucks diverge. The F-250 is built exclusively as a single-rear-wheel truck. The F-350 offers the same SRW setup for easier daily driving, plus a dual-rear-wheel option that widens the rear track for added stability under heavy trailer loads. That DRW axle is exclusive to the F-350 and is the primary hardware difference between the two, aside from frame and GVWR.
Which Truck Fits Your Michigan Job
Snow removal crews near Fenton, MI, and landscaping businesses near Highland, MI, tend to favor the F-250 for its tighter turning radius and lower entry price on daily routes. Buyers hauling construction or agricultural equipment trailers benefit from the F-350's higher gross combined weight rating and available DRW axle. Szott Ford's sales team can run payload math against a specific trailer before narrowing the choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
The F-350 carries a stronger frame and a higher GVWR, giving it a towing and payload advantage over the F-250 once a dual-rear-wheel configuration and a heavy-duty axle package are added.
Yes. Both trucks offer the same 6.8-liter gas, 7.3-liter gas, 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel, and 6.7-liter High Output Power Stroke diesel engines, all paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
No. The F-350 comes in both single- and dual-rear-wheel configurations, so buyers can choose SRW for easier daily driving or DRW for maximum stability and payload.
That depends on the camper's weight. A lighter travel trailer stays well within F-250 territory, while a large fifth-wheel or toy hauler usually calls for the F-350's higher towing capacity.
