The 1996 Ford F-250 marks the tenth generation of this popular pickup truck. Offered in Rear-Wheel Drive or optional 4WD, the F-250 came with a selection of engines: a modest 4.9-liter inline-six, a 5.8-liter V8, up to a potent 7.5-liter V8, enabling robust hauling capabilities. Notable for this year is the adaptation of an OBD-II diagnostics system. It featured ABS on back wheels as a safety measure, and higher trims added amenities such as power windows and locks. While infotainment systems were not a highlight for trucks in this era, the F-250 offered AM/FM radio and options for a cassette player.
