2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty Interior and Cargo

Ford has spent quite a lot of time distinguishing each trim from each other - no two trims share exactly the same seating upholstery, for example. The workhorse XL gets you vinyl upholstery, with an upgrade to cloth for the XLT. The Lariat has leather seats and the King Ranch its own Kingsville Antique Effect leather. On the top two trims, you'll find Platinum leather for the Platinum variants and Camelback two-tone premium luxury leather on the Limited. The XL has a vinyl-covered steering wheel, upgraded to urethane for the XLT and leather-wrapping for the rest. Only the XL has vinyl flooring, with the rest featuring color-coordinated carpeting.

There are ten different interior upholstery colors, ranging from the XL's basic Medium Earth Gray or Dark Earth Gray to the Platinum's much smarter Dark Marsala luxury leather with tuxedo stripes. The range-topping Limited has Camelback two-tone premium luxury leather.

With the six-and-three-quarter-foot box, the F-250 has 65.4 cubic feet of space available. The bigger eight-foot box takes that figure up to 78.5 cubes. That's enough space for a dirt bike and pretty much anything you'd ordinarily need to carry around, and if it can't fit, you'll be able to tow it.

While six-seater models have a mini front console for small-item storage, the five-seater has a large, flow-through center console with lockable storage and twin integrated cup holders. On the Super Cab and Crew Cab, there is additional rear under-seat storage, while the Crew Cab also has partitioned lockable fold-flat storage at the back. The Regular and Super Cabs have front map pockets, while the Crew Cab has them at the back as well.

Standard features differ widely between the trims, which makes sense when you consider the F-250's price range spans nearly $50,000. At a base level, you get single-zone manual climate control, a 2.3-inch productivity screen, a rearview camera, and auto on/off headlamps. The XLT has a larger, 4.2-inch productivity screen, cruise control, and remote keyless entry. Advancing to the mid-range Lariat adds features like dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable pedals, power-folding mirrors, ten-way power front seats, and a reverse sensing system. The King Ranch gets ambient lighting, heated and cooled front seats, automatic high beams, push-button start and a remote tailgate release. Moving up into the more expensive tier of trims gets you all these features plus quad-beam LED headlamps, adaptive steering, cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping alert, and adaptive steering.

Infotainment starts off with a basic AM/FM stereo with four speakers on the XL, with the XLT getting MP3 compatibility, an extra speaker, and SiriusXM radio with a six-month prepaid subscription. You'll need to go for the Lariat trim and above to get the most desirable connectivity features, as this trim introduces the SYNC 3 infotainment system. It uses an eight-inch capacitive touchscreen and is easy to operate. Features at this level include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, two smart-charging USB ports, 911 Assist, AppLink and voice recognition. The FordPass Connect 4G Wi-Fi Modem is also included and can connect up to ten devices. A premium Bang and Olufsen ten-speaker sound system is also far superior to the system on basic trims. Further up in the range, navigation and HD radio are also available. For fleet buyers, Ford Telematics Prep is included.
