Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2015 Ford F-250 is its revised optional 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel, which rises to 440 horsepower and 860 lb-ft of torque. Ford also refreshes the King Ranch trim, while the truck’s basic platform and the rest of the lineup largely carry over.
About the 2015 Ford F-250
3rd-generation Super Duty (2008-2016), late-cycle update year before the all-new 2017 redesign.
Ford markets the F-250 Super Duty as a heavy-duty pickup built first for towing, hauling and hard daily work, but with enough trim spread to serve everyone from fleet buyers to luxury-truck shoppers. Its core draw is serious capability, a wide range of body and drivetrain layouts, and a cabin that can move from basic work-truck simplicity to upscale leather-lined comfort. Against rivals, Ford leans on towing confidence, trailer hardware, diesel power and the long-running Built Ford Tough image.
The 2015 F-250 ranges from the durable XL work truck to luxury-focused King Ranch and Platinum versions. XL centers on a 6.2-liter gas V8 and essential towing hardware, while Lariat adds leather and more cabin technology. King Ranch stands out with western-themed Mesa Brown leather, and Platinum has premium leather, navigation, heated and cooled front seats, and a heated steering wheel.

2015 Ford F-250 Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2015 Ford F-250.
4.3
2015 Ford F-250
(203 reviews)
“The steering has a numb feel. It is over boosted. The navigation and sync system controls on the steering wheel do not seem to be designed together. There is no home button on the steering wheel. I love the turning radius. The fit and finish are not what I expected.”
“Only three issues. The fuel econ. Is low for the new tech that is out there. The rear bumper has spot welds showing on one side that were not chromed over, and the cargo box is not centered to the cab very well.”
