Ford F250

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.
