Ford's F-Series trucks have been king of the pickup hill for decades, but with all-new models from General Motors and Toyota, among others, the competition is getting especially fierce. Buyers may be gradually downsizing because of fuel prices and changing tastes, yet those who haul equipment to the worksite or tow the fifth-wheel on the weekends still need a big dog to get the job done. That's where the redesigned Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 pickups come into play, with up to 650 lb.-ft. of stump-pulling torque from a new 6.4-liter Power Stroke diesel, a 6,000-lb. payload, and a tow rating maxing out at 24,000 pounds. Got any mountains you need moved?
