The F-Series? posh XLT trim level brings such pluses an interval wipers, color-keyed cloth visors with mirrors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, fully trimmed seats, a folding bench seat with a center fold-down armrest and power lumbar on both sides, electronic AM/FM stereo with four speakers, interior and exterior brightwork and moldings, chrome outside mirrors, door panels with storage nooks, and a long list of minor standard items that make the F-250 decidedly untrucklike and much closer to a contemporary full-size car.
The F-250?s instruments are large and easy to read and use (with the diesel, you get warning lights for wait-to-start, water-in-fuel, fuel filter and engine temperature, in addition to all the regular gauges).
The bench seat is comfortable and supportive, and we found the fold-down center armrest a godsend for distance-driving comfort. Even the standard cockpit is fairly roomy and wide, though many families will probably opt for the more expensive SuperCab version.
