| Driving Impressions | |||
We drove our F-250 along the Pacific Coast, down bustling inland freeways and off road in the backcountry. Our overwhelming impression was that it drove like a much smaller truck. It almost felt like a big luxury car. We were impressed with the striking combination of crisp handling and compliant ride quality. The steering was precise.The chassis is quite rigid, which allows Ford engineers to tune the suspension geometry to make a truck that doesn't necessarily drive like one. Body roll was noticeably limited in the corners. Four-wheel antilock disc brakes, which are standard, provided excellent driver feedback. Braking performance was impressive with smooth, undramatic stops. The F-250 comes with a 16-inch wheel and tire package. We found the SuperCab's four doors a great way to gain access to the rear seat, which is standard on the XLT and Lariat models and optional with the XL trim. The rear seat cushion folds up and forward and the seatback folds down to create a steel flat loading surface, a perfect place to put tools and other heavy items that need to stay secure and out of the elements. The rear doors are 25 inches wide. They hinge on the rear pillars of the cab and swing out a full 90 degrees from the doorsill. This design eases the loading of gear and passengers and contributes to occupant safety with the combination of vertical beams and a cross brace where the front and rear doors meet. |
