What trucks come with solid front axles?
Even though we are now down to just three new vehicle models available with a solid front axle in the U.S.—Jeep Wrangler, Ford Super Duty, and Ram heavy-duty trucks (four if you count the über-expensive Mercedes G-class)—we’re still huge proponents of the driven beam axle construction for off-road use.

When did Ford F250 get a solid axle?
F250’s have had a solid axle since 1999. The F250 for 1997 to 2000 or 2001 came in a light duty version with an IFS front axle (those trucks look like the 97 F150). I could be wrong as to when Ford went back to a solid axle on th F350. Since 2000 the F350 and F250 are esentially the same truck.
