The fully boxed frame is built out of percent high-strength steel and boasts 10 cross members, so it’s up to 24 times stiffer than the old design.

Say goodbye to jerky gear changes in BC with the 2021 Ford F-250. Its 6.2L gasoline V8 engine is paired to a TorqShift-G 6-speed automatic transmission, so every drive is smoother and more controllable thanks to its wider gear span, which complements the powerplant perfectly.This Super Duty’s transmission also features Progressive Range Selection, which lets you lockout select gears and limits the shifter to a certain range. By doing so, you can achieve a better grip in slippery conditions.
It offers a Tow/Haul mode for cargo hauling to minimize gear hunting while climbing hills, and in descent, it stops you from up-shifting to prevent gaining velocity. That means you can put less pressure on the brakes as well, extending their life and offering you peace of mind. And to achieve total control on BC worksites, set the transmission to Manual mode.

2021 Ford Super Duty F-250 Can Self-Clean Its Engine in BC

During jobs in BC, your truck might sometimes spend a while idling. That’s not ideal for diesel engines because soot builds up in the particulate filter, and there’s not enough exhaust heat generated to burn it off. Fortunately, the 2021 Ford F-250 has Operator-Commanded Regeneration with Active Inhibit available to handle it.This Super Duty will flash a warning light when soot buildup happens, which is your signal to push the activation button. That kicks up the exhaust temperature for a while to burn off the debris, and then it drops down once everything finishes.
Active Inhibit delays this process if you’re parked over combustible materials on a BC worksite (like dry grass or leaves) to prevent flareups. That gives you time to shift to a safe place and push the activation button again – ideal for commercial use cases.
