Ford F350 – the heavy Super Duty pick-up class with Lariat and Platinum trims: eight-cylinder engines from 5.8 to 7.5 litres, gross weight around 3.5 tonnes, length around 6.65 m
The Ford F350 is the heavier version of the F-Series pick-ups above the F250 and part of the Super Duty class, designed for high payload and towing capacity. The line-up ranges from basic work-truck specification to the luxury Lariat trim and the especially well-equipped Platinum line, with body styles from the single cab to the Crew Cab and, on suitably equipped trucks, dual rear wheels.

The register lists here 8 versions with 5,763 to 7,544 cm³ from eight-cylinder engines, unladen weights from 2,308 to 3,000 kg, a gross weight of around 3.5 t, a length of around 6.65 m and widths from 1,950 to 2,430 mm.
In the US the F350 represents the heavy pick-up class between light commercials and medium trucks, used to tow heavy fifth-wheel and horse trailers and as a base for flatbed and box bodies; its main rivals are the Chevrolet Silverado 3500 and the Ram 3500. In Europe, imported F350s are popular as tow vehicles for heavy horse and construction-equipment trailers thanks to their high payload.
On used examples, check the turbocharger, injection system and exhaust aftertreatment on the diesel eight-cylinders, the condition of the frame and leaf-spring packs under load, the brakes given the high gross weight, and dual-tyre wear and rust around the wheel arches; parts run through the Ford dealer network.
