Ford Super Duty — where the heavy range begins
Super Duty is not a trim line but a range of its own: Ford introduced it in 1998 for the 1999 model year, covering commercial trucks above 8,500 lb gross vehicle weight — around 3,900 kilograms. Everything below stays with the F-150 and its relatives.

The number gives the class, not the size of the engine. The F-250 marks the entry to the range and is also its volume leader: for buyers needing more than a half-ton but not the dual rear wheels or higher ratings of an F-350 or F-450. Upwards the range runs to the F-750.
Manufacturing separates the classes too. The F-250 through F-550 are assembled at the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville; the heavy F-650 and F-750 at the Blue Diamond plant in Mexico. Comparing two vehicles, do not assume an F-750 is simply a larger F-250 — these are different vehicle concepts under one name.
The engine that defines the range is the 6.7-litre Power Stroke diesel. In standard form it produces 475 hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque; the High-Output version 500 hp and 1,200 lb-ft. For payload context: an F-150 tops out near 2,440 lb, an F-250 carries more than 4,200 lb.
