Brown Motors - Is the 2026 Ford Super Duty F-250 Lariat the Sweet Spot for Work and Weekends around Cheboygan, MI?
If you have a full plate Monday through Friday but still want comfort and tech that make family time feel special, the 2026 Ford Super Duty F-250 Lariat deserves a close look. It blends the right amount of refinement with the grit you expect from a Super Duty, all while giving you thoughtful features that make your hardest tasks simpler. At its core, the Lariat offers a flexible mix of powertrains—from the 6.8L gas V8 to the 7.3L gas V8, plus the available 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel and its High Output configuration—paired with a TorqShift 10-speed that’s remarkably composed while towing or navigating steep grades.
On the job, capability is more than a spec sheet; it’s about control. The Lariat helps you line up, load up, and pull out with confidence thanks to available Pro Trailer Backup Assist and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist. Pair those with available Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch, and you can verify tongue weight and payload in moments. Add the 360-Degree Camera and PowerScope trailer tow mirrors for superior visibility when you’re inching past fences, equipment, or city curbs. When you’re done for the day, available 2kW Pro Power Onboard lets you power tools, lights, or tailgate gear right from in-bed outlets—no generator required.

Inside, the Lariat feels like a proper command center. The 12-inch center display with SYNC 4 makes it simple to queue up camera views, monitor trailer status, and stay connected on the go. The available head-up display projects key information in your line of sight, reducing the need to glance down. Long days feel shorter thanks to supportive seating, smart storage, and materials that balance durability with a premium look.
