2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty Platinum

Entry 002 in the Garage. Star White over Smoked Truffle, the High-Output Power Stroke, and $103,250 on the sticker. One week of boss-chair energy and airplane legroom.

The Good

  • 1,200 lb-ft and a 10-speed that never hunts
  • Bank-vault highway ride, even unloaded
  • Best head-up display in the business
  • Sublime Smoked Truffle interior with real buttons
  • Sneaky near-20 mpg observed

The Bad

  • Simply too big: could be shorter and lower
  • Sound system not worthy of $103K
  • No BlueCruise, and none coming
  • Car seat load-in punishes tall and short parents
