In addition to a lasting tradition of truck excellence and Ford legacy, there are many defining factors that make the F-250 a true leader of the pack. Read our overview and you’ll understand why the 2019 F-250 won the AutoWeb Buyer’s Choice Best Heavy-Duty Truck award. 2019 Ford F-250 Highlights Aluminum Construction Ford pickups of the past were built with steel bodies, but the F-250, like the F-150, is now constructed with high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy. There are several key advantages to aluminum: The weight saved was reinvested in stronger axles, steering and chassis components. It is more dent-and-ding resistant.
