Redesigned, repowered, and already a contender for heavy-duty truck of the year, the 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty full-size pickup is ready for delivery right now. This sizable heavy-hauler again comes in four trim levels - the base XL, midlevel XLT, upper-crust Lariat, and top-shelf King Ranch - each of which can be delivered with either rear-wheel drive (RWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD). The XL and XLT are available in three-passenger Regular cab, five/six-passenger SuperCab, or six-passenger Crew cab versions, with the Lariat delivered in SuperCab and Crew cab variations, and the King Ranch only in Crew cab garb. The choice of a 6.5-foot or 8-foot bed is available across the lineup, while all trims additionally can be powered with the standard gasoline V8 engine or the torque-heavy turbodiesel V8 powerplant. Designed to give the Dodge Ram, Chevy Silverado HD, and GMC Sierra HD a run for their money, the F-250 Super Duty traditionally ranks right up there with the best trucks America has to offer.
Bumped from 5.4 to 6.2 liters, the 2011 F-250 Super Duty’s standard Flex Fuel (FFV) V8 puts out 385 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque under the tutelage of its accompanying six-speed auto-manual transmission. Capable of towing up to 15,400 pounds in the fifth-wheel version, this variable-valve-timed V8 is also alleged to get 15% better fuel economy than 2010’s 5.4-liter mill. Optional throughout the F-250 Super Duty lineup is a 390-hp, 6.7-liter turbodiesel V8 that’ll pound 735 lb-ft of torque into the pavement (or the mud) with its six-speed auto-manual transmission. This beast can tow up to 16,100 pounds of fifth-wheel-mounted trailer, and Ford claims an additional 18% better mileage with this updated turbodiesel. Additionally, the F-250 Super Duty’s part-time 4WD system features, depending on trim level, manual or auto-locking hubs, electronic hi-lo gear selection, and brake hill holding. Topping things off, a standard auxiliary transmission fluid cooler is standard with both engines.
Though considered a dedicated workhorse, the 2011 F-250 Super Duty XL still sports a few standard appearance features and cabin comforts, including 17-inch steel wheels, class III trailer hitch and wiring, vinyl upholstery, telescoping tilt-wheel steering, air conditioning, and an AM/FM radio with two speakers. Also seen as a workaholic, the XLT trim adds standard 17-inch alloy wheels, cloth upholstery, power accessories, including driver’s seat, heated mirrors and keyless entry, cruise control, and a single-CD player with four speakers to the list. The upper-level Lariat weighs in with additions such as standard 18-inch alloy wheels, power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control, satellite radio, and Bluetooth/SYNC infotainment and communications technology, while the King Ranch boasts standard chrome upgrades, step running boards, heated front seats, power-folding outside mirrors, remote start, and memory for driver settings, as well as leather and simulated-wood cabin accents.
Options for the F-250 Super Duty’s lower trims include many of the standard features found on higher trim levels, with the XL and XLT trims offering Ford’s popular Work Solutions Package. Meantime, depending on trim level, 20-inch alloy wheels, hard-drive navigation, fifth-wheel setup (long-bed trims only), transmission power takeoff, and spray-in bed liner are also available, while the King Ranch is available with a factory-installed power sunroof. Additionally, the FX4 Off Road Package, with all-terrain tires, skid plates, beefed-up shock absorbers, and an electronic locking rear differential is available for all trims.
Though its sheer size and heft provide a lot of protection, the 2011 F-250 Super Duty nevertheless comes with a sizable number of standard safety features. The traditional four-wheel ABS, stability control, front side-mounted airbags, and front and, for the SuperCab and Crew cab trims, rear head airbags are complemented by trailer sway control and hill-start assist. The XLT and higher trims additionally feature a standard trailer brake controller, with the Lariat adding rear parking sensors, and the King Ranch throwing in the standard rear-view camera system that’s optional for the XLT and Lariat.
Such owner complaints as there are with the 2010 F-250 Super Duty concern the unavailability of factory or dealer-installed splash guards, a huge turning radius, poor placement of a few buttons and controls, and some chintzy cabin trim materials. These gripes, however, don’t keep most owners from enjoying the hearty performance, strong work ethic, roomy SuperCab and Crew cab interiors, quality build, quiet ride, and the ever-popular SYNC infotainment system this heavyweight pickup has going for it. Even gas mileage has many owners smiling as they fly past the pumps on the way to the job site or the campsite.

2011 f250 4x4 6.2 gas great truck has air bags, b&w gooseneck hide a ball, new tires, brakes, shocks, bed cover, reverse camera, keyless, entry
January 9, 2025it handles and brakes well. Fast acceleration. the build quality is not comparable to any other trunk in its class. the appearance for the interior is great very durable with having things tossed around in it and also with a young puppy jumping around in it. so far its under warranty so it hasn't costed me anything to maintain besides gas. It is a 35 gal tank and costs about $115 to fill and gives me about 500 miles on a tank so roughly between 12 and 13 mpg. The exterior is very well designed. Everyone loves driving my truck. Even my friend who is a dodge fan and says he hates my truck.
June 23, 2011This truck will go anywhere and do anything. If you like a diesel truck this would be the one to go out and get. The only draw back was the diesel gas but other than that this truck was amazing.

March 31, 2014Truck has been great for me. Smoother ride than older models, love the cooling seats, mpg is much better than the older models. Very expensive to buy brand new off the lot. Love the new 125,000 mile warranty. Plus, this model is eco-friendly with new exhaust burning system.
June 19, 2011The F250 only compares to other F250s and above. It’s the best bang for the buck. With the tow package the capacity compares to the F350. With the Lariat package it’s the cream of the non-King Ranch F-series and with the6.7 liter it’s gas mileage is great. The leatherette seats are comfy, but can easily be punctured. Otherwise I admire this truck immensely.
May 11, 2022I owned a 2009 F-250 King Ranch and it was nothing compared to the new 2011 F-250 King Ranch. Much better mpg, love the new cooling seats, and it must have a new suspension b/c it rides much smoother than the old models.
June 19, 2011The truck is well equipped has many different drivetrains to suit your needs whether its for short hauls of heavy weight in the bed or heavy amounts of weight pulling behind it on long hauls across states. All different fuels also. Still has its typical stuff truck feel untill you put some weight on it was the theory but Ford has done some changes with the suspensions giving it a nice comfortable ride all the way throughout weight in cargo. Interior is comfortable and the controls in the drivers seat are easy to negotiate. This is a good vehicle to drive if your not familiar with driving a truck. View is clear and dementions are true
May 8, 2024This is a man's man truck depending on what model you get but the price is high but lets just say if you take care of it, could last you 500,000 mi. +. The ride is actually very smooth and quite and feels like you in a luxury vehicle I would recommend this truck to anyone.
March 22, 2015For a used vehicle it was fine. Had an undisclosed cracked windshield which dealer paid half to replace Aside from that there were no surprises. Runs nicely. I am satisfied.
April 29, 2021If you shop hard you can find a low mileage example ! They are as solid a platform as I have ever found! By chance youve found one that has been well taken care of. They can be had for less than half than that of a new one!! Ford really did their homework on these high end units...
