2024 Ford F-350 XL

The F-350 is Ford's heavy-duty pickup, the one you step up to when a half-ton just isn't enough. It drives like the big rig it is, with a commanding view and a ride that settles down once you've got weight in the bed. Inside, the cabin is roomy and functional, with available leather and tech that make long hauls feel more like a road trip. You get a real truck bed and serious towing capacity, so it's built for work first and comfort second. The XL is the work-truck version, so you skip chrome and leather to keep the price down, but every F-350 shares the same frame and powertrain choices. This one has the gas 6.7L V8 with 405 horsepower and a ten-speed automatic, and with rear-wheel drive it's aimed at fleets and lighter-duty towing. It comes with a vinyl floor and manual cloth seats, so you can hose it out after a muddy job site without worrying about the interior.
