Ford F-250 & Ford F-350 The heavier duty full sized trucks from Ford, offering bigger, more powerful engines and drivetrains for the abuse they may go through in the workplace.

The bigger the truck the longer it lasts

I got in an argument about what's better. I say a bigger truck 350 lasts longer and pays for itself. My tree trimmer friend said smaller and save on gas mileage. As a business owner, curious what you think is the most cost effective?

Several factors would come into play to determine if bigger is better. Here are a few:

1. What is the unit going to be used for.
2. Who is going to be operating the unit.
3. How is the unit going to be operated.
4. How long do you plan on keeping the unit before replacement.
5. Cost of unit (purchase price, daily operating cost, regular maintenance/repairs etc.)
