Ford F-350 Super Duty:

The Ford Super Duty is a series of heavy-duty pickup trucks produced by the Ford Motor Company since the 1999 model year. Slotted above the consumer-oriented Ford F-150, the Super Duty trucks are an expansion of the Ford F-Series range, from F-250 to the F-600. The F-250 through F-450 are offered as pickup trucks, while the F-350 through F-600 are offered as chassis cabs.
Rather than adapting the lighter-duty F-150 truck for heavier use, Super Duty trucks have been designed as a dedicated variant of the Ford F-Series. The heavier-duty chassis components allow for heavier payloads and towing capabilities. With a GVWR over 8,500 lb , Super Duty pickups are Class 2 and 3 trucks, while chassis-cab trucks are offered in Classes 3, 4, 5, and 6. The model line also offers Ford Power Stroke V8 diesel engines as an option....(Read more on Wikipedia)

6.2 V8 (385 Hp) 4x4 Automatic DRW Verdict:

Rating 4 stars

Performance Verdict

The 6.2L V8 provides a solid entry-level gasoline option, offering decent power for most heavy-duty tasks. Paired with 4x4 and DRW, it ensures good traction and stability for its power level.

Fuel Economy

Fuel economy will be lower than the diesel and likely similar to the 7.3L V8, given the truck's weight and DRW setup. It's a workhorse, not a fuel-sipper.

Best Use Case: Cost-effective heavy hauling, moderate towing with 4x4 capability, fleet use where initial cost is a factor, stable platform for various upfits.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Exceptional towing and hauling capabilities, especially with the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel.
  • • Robust and powerful engine lineup, including the new 7.3L 'Godzilla' V8.
  • • Durable construction and proven reliability for demanding work.
  • • Wide range of configurations (SRW/DRW, 4x2/4x4) to suit diverse needs.
  • • Spacious and functional interior, particularly in Crew Cab models.

Cons:

  • • Large size can make maneuvering in urban environments challenging.
  • • Fuel economy is a significant consideration, especially with gasoline engines.
  • • Ride quality can be firm, particularly when unladen, typical for heavy-duty trucks.
  • • Higher trim levels can become very expensive.
  • • Limited advanced driver-assistance features compared to some passenger vehicles.
