Shopping for a heavy-duty truck near Edmonton, AB? The Ford Super Duty lineup offers the strength and capability that Alberta drivers need for demanding work, towing, hauling, and everyday driving. But does every Super Duty come with a diesel engine? No. Ford offers both gas and diesel powertrains, giving drivers options based on how they plan to use their trucks. At Sherwood Ford, we help drivers from Sherwood Park, Edmonton, and surrounding communities compare Ford Super Duty trucks and find the right configuration for their needs.
Ford Super Duty trucks aren’t diesel-only. The lineup includes gas-powered engines and the available Power Stroke® turbo diesel, depending on the model and configuration.
A diesel F-250 can be an excellent choice for drivers who regularly tow heavy loads across Alberta. However, not everyone needs a diesel F-250. A gas-powered F-250 can still handle substantial towing and hauling when properly equipped. Its suitability depends on the loaded trailer weight, truck configuration, and required payload capacity.
The main differences between gas and diesel Super Duty engines involve torque, towing capability, operating costs, and maintenance.
Choosing between gas and diesel starts with understanding what your truck needs to do.
A gas-powered Super Duty may be a good fit if you:

Remember that engine choice is only one part of the decision. Cab style, bed length, axle ratio, drivetrain, payload, and towing equipment can all affect a truck’s capabilities. Always compare the ratings for the specific configuration you intend to purchase.
At Sherwood Ford, we can help you compare these options based on your work, recreational plans, and budget.

Neither engine is automatically better for every driver. Diesel models deliver substantially more torque for demanding towing, while gas models can be practical for everyday use and lighter towing needs.
Both gas and diesel Super Duty trucks can handle winter driving when properly equipped and maintained. Cold-weather starting, battery condition, suitable engine oil, and appropriate winter fuel practices matter. Diesel owners should also follow recommendations for cold-weather operation and diesel exhaust fluid systems.
