Why should a power and towing workhorse have a blah look? Why indeed. The F-250 full-size, heavy-duty truck is not u-g-l-y. Far from ugly, this monster truck’s all new interior cabin is mighty fine-on-the-eyes. The Super Duty trucks – essentially the F-250 as well as the F-350 and F-450 – now feature round air vents. It’s a seemingly small change, but what’s coming out of the vents to cool occupants during steamy summer weather is indeed a vast improvement. The new climate control system is not only less noisy than the predecessor, but it also chills the cabin better – by about 10 degrees – than the old system. That cooling improvement is accomplished, in part, by using a higher capacity compressor. The test driven F-250 was fitted with the new-to-Super Duty FX4 trim package, which is available on the SuperCab or Crew Cab. FX4 provides an array of items, including skid plate, body color door handles, and a black leather-wrapped steering wheel. The F-250 with the 6.8-liter V10 gasoline engine – producing 362 horsepower at 4750 rpm and 457 pounds-feet of torque at 3250 rpm – truly laces up some monumental power. But unfortunately, the fuel consumption hovered around10 mpg. The tested _-ton truck, carrying a MSRP of $33,625, scores high marks because of its overhauled in-vehicle surroundings, but if this workhorse gem could improve its fuel efficiency, the scores would be off the charts.
