- Seats five to handle growing-family duty

- 0-100 km/h in 10.5 s means modest acceleration
- Not positioned for premium expectations
- Less suited to severe winter driving as equipped
- 8.5 combined consumption may not suit economy-first city commuting
Ford F-350
- Diesel torque (1260 Nm) and 4WD make frequent hauling and tough surfaces easier

- 1500 L cargo area accommodates bulky tools, materials, and road-trip gear
- At about $35,000, it offers good value in its work-oriented segment
- Less suited to city driving and tight urban routines
