The F-250 is a part of the Ford F-series; F-250 is the revised name used for the F-2 of the F-Series. F-250 is a pickup introduced by Ford Motor Company in 1953. Ford offers the very rare "Low GVWR" versions of the Ford F-250. The Ford F-250 was built on the Ford F Series platform. Initially the Ford F-250 was built at the Highland Park Ford Plant in Highland Park, Michigan. Later the production was transferred to 10 other plants in the USA. The F-250 used standard Trailer Sway Control (TSC) built on the AdvanceTrac system with Roll Stability Control.
The Ford F-150 used many advanced internal amenities including a dome light, lighter, arm rest parts, and sun visors. The F-250 used the manual transmission as standard and the "Ford-O-Matic", automatic transmissions was used as an option. In 1954 the new 239 CID overhead valve Y-block V8 engine was introduced. The F-250 used the inline six with creased size, and power steering was introduced as an option. The current Ford F-250 is available in three body styles (regular cab, extended cab, crew cab) and four trim levels (base XL, midlevel XLT, off-road-oriented 4WD-only FX4 and plush Lariat).
