2022 Ford F250 Engine Options
A 6.2L 2-Valve V8 Gas engine, a 7.3L OHV V8 Gas Engine, and a 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel engines are three powerful engines available for the 2022 Ford F250 Pickup Truck.
| ENGINE TYPE | MAX. POWER | MAX. TORQUE |
| 6.2L 2-Valve V8 Gas | 385 hp | 430 lbs-ft. |
| 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel | 475 hp | 1050 lbs-ft. |
| 7.3L 2-Valve V8 Gas | 430 hp | 475 lbs-ft. |
By supplying working power throughout the rpm range, the 6.2L V8 delivers an impressive combination of driveability, hauling, and towing performance. Dual-equal variable cam timing phases the intake- and exhaust valve opening and closing events simultaneously to help optimize low-end torque and peak horsepower.
A 36,000-psi fuel-injection system helps the 6.2L V8 Engine optimize combustion and provide excellent throttle response. Forged steel pistons provide high firing pressure capability and low friction for hardworking durability. A turbocharger with a fully electronic vane actuator helps cold-weather performance, while the grille design ensures plenty of airflow to help keep things cool.
Built from the ground up as a dedicated truck engine, the powerful 7.3L V8 Gas engine is the largest displacement V8 engine in the class. To help maintain optimum engine performance, its stout design features cast-iron engine block construction; a forged-steel crankshaft; carbon-nitrided needle bearings in the valvetrain; robust pistons and ring packs with anti-wear coatings; piston cooling jets; and variable-displacement oil pump located in the pan.

Towing Features on Ford F250
The 2022 Ford F250 was available with various towing features such as Standard Trailer Sway Control, Trailer Brake Controller, Standard Hill Start Assist, and 5th-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package.
5th-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package
- Available on all models.
- Provides the necessary under-the-bed hardware to allow mounting of a 5thwheel/gooseneck hitch in the pickup bed to put more of the trailer weight over the tow vehicle.
- Features five pickup bed attachment points with plugs, frame under-bed cross-member, and integrated 7-pin connector.
Smart Trailer Tow Connector
- Provides trailer connection status, lighting, and trailer battery alerts/warnings.
- Alerts/warnings are displayed in the message center on the 4.2″ screen in the center instrument cluster.
Standard Trailer Sway Control
- Works in conjunction with AdvanceTrac® with RSC (Roll Stability Control™) to detect trailer sway and reduce it as necessary.
- AdvanceTrac® control module incorporates additional software to monitor the vehicle’s performance while towing.
- The added software measures the yaw motion of the vehicle to determine if the trailer is swaying and then responds to eliminate the sway condition.
Standard Hill Start Assist
- Helps prevent rolling back on a grade by momentarily maintaining brake pressure until the engine delivers enough torque to move the truck up the hill.
- Whether heading up an incline in drive or in reverse, you’re covered.
Trailer Reverse Guidance
- Utilizes 3 cameras to provide multiple views along with steering guidance graphics to assist in backing and maneuvering the trailer.
- Trailer Reverse Guidance functions with all trailers, including gooseneck and 5thwheel applications
- Included with the Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System.
Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System with Pro Trailer Backup Assist
- Available 360-degree camera with splitview display utilizes 5 cameras to provide an all-around view on 8″ color screen on XL and XLT. 12″ color screen on Lariat, King Ranch®, Platinum and Limited.
Tow/Haul Mode with integrated Engine-Exhaust Brake
- Tow/haul mode and tow/haul mode with integrated engine-exhaust brake (6.7L V8 Power Stroke® turbo diesel only) with auto setting give drivers even greater control when traveling downhill.
- Helps eliminate the unwanted frequency of gear shifting on steep uphill grades and allows engine braking to maintain or reduce vehicle speed and assists the driver in controlling the vehicle when descending a steep grade.
Trailer Brake Controller (TBC)
TBC uses braking input, vehicle speed, and ABS logic to balance the performance of the truck brakes and electric trailer brakes. The trailer brake controller output, gain levels, and trailer connection status is displayed in the instrument cluster.
When the ABS module senses the towing vehicle’s brakes are approaching lockup, the controller’s trailer braking strategy changes to compensate for traction conditions, reducing the risk of trailer brake lockup.
TBC is fully integrated into the truck’s brake system and provides instant visual, and audible warnings in case of accidental trailer disconnect.
