FORD F350 XL REG CAB 2WD SRW

Heavy Duty 1 Ton Pickup

Ford F350 XL Reg Cab 2WD SRW

When the big boys in the 1-ton pickup segment squared off, the two finalists were the Ford F-350 and the Dodge Ram 3500. After the calculations were completed, the results showed the F-350 having the best lifecycle costs in nine of the twelve scenarios measured. Although the Ram 3500 did well with the lowest cost in three categories, the Ford’s low acquisition helped it prove too strong for the others to overcome.
