What do you find it: Ford’s huge Super Duty F-Series truck, but with new styling plus the aluminum body enhancements from the F-150 baked in.

Key Competitors: Ram 3500, Chevy Silverado 3500

Base Price: $47,880 As-Tested Price: $57,440

Highlights: The big 6.2-liter gas V8 is quieter than just a similarly-sized diesel on cold startup, which will keep the neighbors happy, but it's intending to use copious numbers of fuel. The XLT trim provides everything you require for the work truck, without the presence of high falutin’ interior materials.

Gallery: 2019 Ford Super Duty first drive

Our Opinion: This F-350 as equipped — dual rear wheels, gas V8 engine — can pull 16,200 pounds and also carrying a payload around 7,000 pounds; ergo, it provides a bouncy ride when unloaded we wouldn’t recommend it for in no way true work truck use. I find myself such as F-250, Ram or Silverado 2500 might be daily driven; this dually gets attached to almost all of the width of my two-wide driveway, that means it must be a final one parked at night and also the first someone to leave in the morning.

Power and torque are adequate for in no way pulling General Sherman’s Tree right out of the ground, and the six-speed automatic is smooth in all of the situations. Still, who's investing in a dually F-350 which includes a gas engine? Most of these must leave the factory which has a Power Stroke diesel.

The step bar is chrome, which makes it look transparent once the sun is reflecting against it. And even the real key bar, you’ll still a rope or a pogo stick with get inside. I almost tweaked an ankle heading out.

As far as the controls, Ford can it right big with knobs for tuning and volume and big toggle switches for auxiliary functions. Whatever form of Sync that had been with this beast was problem free, though it did hedge inside my podcasts a time or two. I turned them back and back on again, the vehicle, understanding that seemed to get rid of it.

The base F-350 starts at $33,075, the Silverado 3500 starts at $36,005, both before destination. The Ram 3500 starts at $33,245. Not surprisingly, in the event you include a few bed, cab and drive options you’ll be north of $60K quickly for virtually every of these. But that’s the going rate, therefore if you’re in the marketplace, itrrrs this that you’re investigating.

Personally I believe the Chevy is the foremost option, but most of these will see your robust trucking needs.
