The Ford F-350 Makes a Big Impression
Introduced into the market in 1999, the Ford F-350 heavy-duty pickup truck can handle large or small off-road or on-road projects. The F-Series truck has a heavier chassis and suspension system, contributing to its history of carrying bigger payloads and towing heavier objects whether you're working or playing. You can haul cinder blocks, firewood, a new playset, or a load of mulch. New gasoline and diesel F-350s are available in a range of MSRPs on eBay with selections for used and certified pre-owned vehicles.
What Makes F-350s So Powerful?- Engine Sizes: V-8 and V-10 engines range from 5.4 L to 7.3L, providing up to 450 of horsepower. With that much power, an F-350 truck can haul or pull thousands of pounds of weight at one time.
