2023 Ford F250 Engine Options
All-new 2023 F250 is available with four different engine options including a 6.8L V8 Gas, 7.3L V8 Gas, 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel, and 6.7L High Output Power Stroke Diesel engine.
6.8L V8 Gas Engine (A New Workhouse)
This new 6.8L V8 workhorse, standard on XL models, raises the bar for entry-level performance with 405 hp and 445 lb.-ft. of torque.
Naturally aspirated with port injection, the engine uses a cam-in-block and overhead valve architecture with variable valve timing and leverages the latest technology to deliver improved power and torque, especially in the lower rpm range where it’s needed to get heavy loads up to speed more quickly.
7.3L V8 Gas (The most Powerful Gas Engine in its Class)
The available 7.3L gas V8 engine provides high performance in a compact package, with available best-in-class gas V8 output of 430 horsepower, available best-in-class gas torque of 485 lb.- ft.1,2, and expanded towing and payload capability for the toughest of jobs.
The pushrod V8 design optimizes low-end torque and the variable-cam timing helps to optimize high output power.
6.7L Power Stroke Diesel (A Proven Performer)
This available 6.7-liter Power Stroke engine includes a 36,000-psi fuel-injection system that helps optimize combustion and provide an excellent pedal response. Forged steel pistons provide a high-firing pressure capability and less friction for improved 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.
6.7L High Output Power Stroke Diesel (New High-Performance Engine)
This available new High Output Diesel engine incorporates a turbocharger with a cooled compressor and stainless-steel exhaust manifolds helping it deliver the best available diesel 500 hp in the class and the best-in-class maximum available 1,200 lb.-ft. of torque.

Tow/Haul Mode with integrated Engine-Exhaust Brake

360-Degree Camera System
New, available 360-Degree Trailer Camera System along with the required 360-Degree Camera Package7 allows you to see if you’re free and clear on all sides of your truck and trailer.
Includes BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System), with Cross Traffic Alert and Trailer Coverage, Rear Parking Sensors and Reverse Sensing System with Reverse Brake Assist.
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.
Power Tailgate
The available system provides the ability to raise or lower the tailgate from inside the cab, from the keyfob, or from the button on the tailgate. Includes Tailgate Down camera and reverse sensors on the top of the tailgate that provide visual and audible alerts when the tailgate is down to make backing up to a dock or hitching a gooseneck or 5th-wheel trailer easier than ever before.
