What's New in the 2014 Ford F250?
Minor improvements to the braking system, including beefier rotors and a larger parking brake, are said to make the 2014 Super Duty an even more capable beast of burden.
Which F250 is the Best?
For our money, the tough-yet-refined King Ranch best suits the Super Duty. Regardless of which Super Duty version you choose, though, we strongly recommend the diesel engine. The gas engine is good, but the diesel is on another level altogether.

How Much Does a 2014 Ford F250 Cost?
The 2014 F-Series Super Duty is offered in 10 trim levels -- F-250 XL, F-250 XLT, F-250 Lariat, F-250 King Ranch, F-250 Platinum, F-350 XL, F-350 XLT, F-350 Lariat, F-350 King Ranch and F-350 Platinum. While each model is distinct from the one before it, customers can still fully customize each trim, adding a heavy-duty suspension or a snowplow package, for example. There are also no fewer than five bed lengths to choose from, as well as three cab styles (regular, extended SuperCab and 4-door Crew Cab).
The F-250 XL ($30,915) and F-350 XL ($31,810) are the entry-level Super Duty trucks with the 6.2-liter V8 engine and the TorqShift heavy-duty 6-speed automatic transmission. The interior on the XL trim level is sparsely equipped. It does offer air conditioning as standard, but the floor and the seat are covered in vinyl. The basic XL model is rear-wheel drive and features painted, 17-inch steel wheels.
Step up to the F-250 XLT ($34,945) or F-350 XLT ($35,845) and the truck gets nicer. The floor covering of the F-Series XLT is upgraded from vinyl to carpet, and cruise control is added, as is an AM/FM Stereo with single CD/MP3 Player with four speakers. On the outside, Ford includes 17-in, 6-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome grille package.
On the F-250 Lariat ($42,610) and the F-350 Lariat ($43,505), offered only in SuperCab and Crew Cab configurations, Ford adds a digital instrument cluster with a 4.2-in LCD display. In the center stack, SYNC with MyFord Touch is added with a rearview camera. Below the bright MyFord Touch display is a dual-zone automatic climate control. Shorter drivers will appreciate the Lariat trim, as it adds power-adjustable pedals as standard.
The F-250 King Ranch ($50,395) and the F-350 King Ranch ($51,295) come only in the Crew Cab 4-door body style. To accent the 4-door cab, Ford adds 2-tone lower-accent paint to the King Ranch. Unique to the King Ranch is a chrome package with 18-in, chrome-clad wheels, bright metallic exhaust tip and several other chrome accents. On the interior, Chaparral leather is used throughout, and 10-way power-adjustable front seats with both heating and cooling are included. A strong audio system from Sony is also added to the King Ranch.
The top-of-the-line F-250 Platinum ($54,280) and F-350 Platinum ($55,180), also offered only as Crew Cabs, feature a few more niceties than the King Ranch trim, including a unique leather-wrapped steering wheel with heated wood accent, premium front leather seats with embroidered Platinum logo, body-color bumpers and door handles, bright chrome, 6-in angular step bars, satin chrome front grille and skid plates for the 4x4 models.
