New 2010 Ford F-350

If you have a job that requires pulling stumps or you just like to tow your toys, you'll discover that there's no job too small for the giant 2010 Ford F-350.

In the 2010 Ford F-350 features three available engines: a 300-horsepower, 5.4-liter V-8, a 362-horsepower, 6.8-liter V-10, or a 350-horsepower, 6.4-liter diesel-fueled V-8. These monster motors are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission or an optional five-speed auto. The F-350’s tow ratings range from 12,500 to 16,900 pounds, with the proper equipment – the latter requiring a goose neck installation. The payload ranges from 2,860 pounds to 3,180, depending on chassis configuration.

Cloth seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a CD player, and options of a sunroof and navigation system key the interior of the basic FX-4 model F-350. The luxurious Lariat model is notable for offering premium leather seats, optional leather trim for the dashboard, and an optional TV with DVD entertainment system. For further customization, owners can choose an appearance package developed in partnership with outdoor outfitter Cabela’s, which features a two-tone paint scheme and specially-embossed interior components.

While you are rigging those fifty stumps to be pulled out, your partner can look up directions to tonight’s party with Ford’s SYNC® multimedia system. Then he can power up the Ford Work Solutions™ in-dash computer, check your tool inventory with Tool Link™, and then check for any problems with fleet vehicles by accessing the Crew Chief™ system. And when your partner finishes with all that, he can trek back into the woods to help you finish, knowing that the Cable Lock system will keep the tools safe and secure.

As soon as NHTSA feels like they have a test facility that can withstand an impact from the 2010 Ford F-350, we will pass along the crash-test ratings. Honestly, as this is an industrial-grade vehicle, and crash tests are not common in this class. The F-350 does offer a fully boxed frame that will go head to head with almost any road-going vehicle. Four-wheel antilock brakes and traction control help with accident avoidance, while standard front airbags protect the front two occupants.

If you won’t settle for a boat that can fit the F-150’s tow ratings, the 2010 Ford F-350 has you covered. With multiple cab and bed lengths, as well as multiple engine options, this Super Duty pickup can just about haul the moon while you sit back in your cozy leather seats.
