2010 Ford F-250: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2010 Ford F-250 is the lineup reshuffle: Cabela’s becomes a named trim as FX4 leaves the range. Otherwise, this is a light final-year update before the 2011 redesign.
About the 2010 Ford F-250
2nd-generation Super Duty update (2008-2010), final year before the all-new 2011 redesign.
Ford positions the 2010 F-250 Super Duty as a Built Ford Tough heavy-duty pickup for people who tow large trailers, carry serious payloads, and need more capability than an F-150. Its core appeal is straightforward: strong factory towing hardware, a wide mix of cab and bed choices, and a trim ladder that runs from stripped-down jobsite trucks to leather-lined special editions. It is meant to be both a work tool and a tow vehicle, depending on trim.
The 2010 lineup stretches from the straightforward XL work truck to the more comfortable XLT and leather-trimmed Lariat. The new Cabela’s trim targets outdoor use with standard 4WD, a trailer brake controller, embroidered bucket seats, and lockable underseat storage. King Ranch keeps its western-themed leather cabin, while the diesel-powered Harley-Davidson pairs a custom black look with premium audio and a rearview camera.
