The 2009 Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup stands pat after a significant redesign in ’08. Featuring the standard 5.4-liter V8 and a six-speed manual transmission that powers out 300 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque, this full-size pickup also offers a 6.8-liter V10 with a five-speed TorqueShift automatic or a heavy-hauling 6.4-liter PowerStroke twin-turbodiesel, also with the five-speed auto. The V10 puts out 362 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque, and the turbodiesel grinds out 350 hp and an awesome 650 lb-ft of torque. The turbodiesel is standard in the Harley-Davidson trim. EPA estimates are not available for any of these engines.
Ford's F-250 is delivered in six trim levels: XL, XLT, FX4, Lariat, King Ranch, and the top-shelf Harley-Davidson. Five wheelbases are available - 137 inches, 142 inches, 156 inches, 158 inches, and 172 inches - and three cab configurations: Regular Cab, Super Cab, and Crew Cab. The longer wheelbases use an 8-foot bed and offer 77.4 cubic feet of cargo space, while the shorter wheelbases use a 6¾–foot bed and feature 64.4 cubic feet of capacity. Of course, Ford’s F-250 is also offered in either rear-wheel- or four-wheel-drive configurations. Maximum payload capacity for the ’09 F-250 Super Duty is 3,150 lbs, and according to Ford, towing capacity with the standard 5.4-liter V8 is 12,500 lbs.
Standard features for the base XL trim level, which is available in all wheelbases and all cab configurations, includes a 7-pin trailer wiring harness, twin I-beam front suspension, 17-inch steel wheels, heavy-duty shock absorbers, a tachometer, AM/FM radio with two speakers, air-conditioning, and reclining front seats. XLTs, also available in all cab and wheelbase choices, feature a trailer brake controller, chrome 17-inch wheels, tilt-wheel steering, an MP3-capable CD player with four speakers, cruise control, power windows and locks, and heated, power mirrors. The Lariat, available only in Super and Crew Cab, adds 18-inch aluminum wheels, power front seats, Ford’s Bluetooth-capable SYNC voice-activated communications and entertainment system, dual zone temperature control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and Sirius satellite radio.
The FX4 trim for 2009 is also offered only in Super and Crew Cab and 4WD configurations, and boasts a 4.1 axle ratio, skid plates, and a limited-slip differential as the F-250 line-up’s off-road workhorse. Ford offers a special FX4 Cabela edition with Cabela branding, 6-inch step tubes, a unique instrument panel, and Cabela leather.
For 2009, the top-line F-250 King Ranch and Harley-Davidson trim levels, again, only in Super and Crew Cabs and 4WD, offer a six-disc CD/MP3 player, power adjustable pedals and seats with driver’s seat memory, the five-speed TorqueShift automatic transmission, and in the case of the F-250 Harley-Davidson, the 6.4-liter V8 twin turbodiesel and five-speed automatic come standard along with Harley-Davidson-branded leather and chrome.
Options for the F-250 trims for ’09 include upgraded powerplants and transmissions, a six-disc CD/MP3 player, a trailer brake controller, tilt-wheel steering, cruise control, and Sirius satellite radio for the lower- and middle-priced trims. Leather, a DVD rear seat entertainment system, a rear backup camera, and a touch-screen nav system are available for the middle and higher-end trims, while dual alternators, a spray-in bed liner, and upfitter switches for powered accessories are offered for all trims.
Safety features for the F-250 Super Duty include four-wheel disc ABS, second-generation front airbags with passenger side deactivation, child safety tethers, the SOS post-crash system, and the Securilock anti-theft system. Crash test data is not yet available for the Ford F-250 Super Duty.
Drivers found the 2008 Ford F-250 to be somewhat gas hungry, but were impressed with the performance and interior design of this full-size workhorse.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2009 Ford F-250 Super Duty are very satisfied with its performance, especially its towing capability and reliability. Many praised its power and build quality, often referring to it as a great work truck. However, some drivers noted a few issues with smaller components and mentioned that it can struggle in wet grass without good tires or 4x4 capability."
It's a great value for the ones that are strict on maintenance, these engines aren't forgiving if they're not maintained.
March 20, 2026Performance - This truck will pull you back into the seat when you step on it. It'll surprise you with it's acceleration. Braking and handling are nothing special (but what do you expect in a 8500lb vehicle). Build Quality - Built Ford Tough! What else needs to be said. This thing is built well. Appearance - It's just a beautiful truck. Cost of Ownership - I take good care of my truck and it takes care of me. Fun Factor - This truck is so much fun to drive. Don't expect it to handle like a sports car, but it will keep up with a lot of cars in a straight line!
October 22, 2011well i like the f 250 to the f 450 lariats. if you tow a rv or horses they are fantastic. i love my 2008 bought it new never had any issues except the normal maint items. turbos and water pumps. but i fixed that with a water filter and new high perfoormance turbos. i have almost 300000 miles on it still runs like it did when it was new

April 20, 2024I've had two different F-250s and they have always been roomy, powerful, they hold up well, they are just all around great trucks. I would recommend these trucks to anyone and I will continue to own these myself. Yep.
February 28, 2015This truck will give you reliably, safely and confidently haul heavy loads or heavy trailers, day after day. What's surprising is that this workhorse is actually quite comfortable. It can be use for personal or commercial use. It is tougher than standard full-size trucks.
January 1, 2014Love it. With the sync technology , leather interior and all the extras, it is the best value for the money when it comes to a work vehicle. I recommend this truck for Landscapers above all others that I have previously owned.
September 1, 2010I Really liked the towing capacity with this truck even though its a 4 year old truck with 66,000ish miles its still running strong with stock everything. I would highly recommend this truck to anyone looking for looks comfort and towing capacity.
April 2, 2014Truck is good for everything except getting into wet grass. This truck would get stuck on a tea spoon of water. Needs to be a 4X4 or have some good all terrain tires on it. Other than that it is good.
July 14, 2010I have had 3 super duty trucks all have performed well with no issues. Just stay away from the 2008 diesel, the motor will fail at around 70K miles, ford fixed the issue for later models
December 31, 2021A used super duty powerstroke is a great buy. Costs less than a comparable Dodge or GM diesel truck.
