Full Size Pickup, 3/4 Ton
2010 Ford F250
|
When higher payloads make a ½ ton pickup too small, it’s time to give the ¾ ton pickup a look. The F250 earned Vincentric’s Best Value in America by overtaking last year’s winner, the Chevrolet Silverado, in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, and did so by enjoying lower depreciation than any heavy duty pickup sold in 2010.
