Obviously, the F-250 is far better at towing than the F-150. The F-250 boasts an impressive 22,800-pound towing capacity, while the F-150 maxes out at 14,000 pounds. When it comes to payload capacity, the F-250 can haul 4,260 pounds, which is a lot higher than the F-150’s payload capacity of 3,325 pounds.
Q. Why is the Ford F-series the best selling truck?
Another reason why Ford sells so many trucks is that its truck sales are lumped into the entire F-series in terms of sales numbers. Last year, the Ford F-Series –– which includes the F-250 and the F-350 models as well –– sold nearly 900,000 units. A number they’ve maintained for 3 years and running.
