The 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty is part of the significantly redesigned second generation that debuted in 1999. The 2004 F-250 comes with either a 5.4L V8 engine producing 260 horsepower or a 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel V8 with 325 horsepower. There's an option for either rear-wheel drive (RWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) and trims include the base XL, mid-range XLT, and premium Lariat. The F-250 is widely renowned for its ability to tow and haul heavy loads, but 2004 model owners also benefit from a relatively comfortable ride, given the truck's capability. Standard infotainment for this model year was fairly basic by today's standards, typically featuring AM/FM radio with a CD player. Safety features too were rudimentary, but the F-250 was considered robust and reliable in its class.
