Extreme heavy duty
Enormous towing and hauling capabilities, the F-350 is a true workhorse
Performance
The Ford F-350 is the truck for you if your needs fall somewhere between extreme heavy duty and full-on commercial. This truck is available in three cab styles, two bed lengths, and with either single or dual rear wheels, allowing it to be customized to meet your needs. In addition, there are three V-8 engine options and a variety of trim levels to choose from. With enormous towing and hauling capabilities, the F-350 is a true workhorse.

Technology
It should come as no surprise that the F-350 is extremely capable. With incredibly strong powertrains—including the most powerful and torquey diesel engine in the segment—and a frame designed to withstand the most extreme conditions, the F-350 makes towing and hauling heavy loads look effortless. What’s more surprising is how well-built the F-350 is as a vehicle. However, despite the fact that it is a massive heavy-duty truck (and, to be completely honest, the Ram Heavy Duty’s interior and exterior styling are preferred by the majority of MotorTrend editors), the Ford drives admirably for a vehicle of its size. The overall quality and execution are excellent, and the high-end trim levels are downright luxurious (and priced to match). The Ford F-350, a former Truck of the Year winner, continues to be a top contender among heavy-duty pickup truck buyers.
Rivalry
Its style is beginning to appear old, but beneath its menacing façade is an exceptionally capable truck. The F-350 is one of the most powerful trucks on the market. Many competitors exist, including the Ram 3500, Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, and GMC Sierra 3500 HD, to name a few of them. Vehicles equipped with driver-assistance and active-safety systems, such as front automated emergency braking, trailer sway control, blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, adaptive cruise control, and a 360-degree view camera system, are available for purchase.
