Power Stroke Diesel With its 6. Still trying to decide if I want a tune for a little more something something. I know people that are getting a little better mileage then I get with the 6. The F250 has a 3,170 pound payload capacity and a 12,500 pound towing capacity. A walk-around with Ford's head of truck design, Pat Schiavone, begins with the grille. From its enlarged grille to the tailgate, everything on the new Super Duty has been redesigned or aggressively tweaked. And, unlike some luxury pickups, there's no intention of appealing - overtly - to the Country Club set; this remains a work truck and not a work-in-progress.
Constituting both interior Chaparral leather and exterior PowerScope mirrors upgrades, the King Ranch enhances over-the-road comfort with material, workmanship and appointment upgrades, adding immeasurably to the Super Duty's attractiveness. To be sure, both Extended and Crew Cabs accommodate passengers quite comfortably, but if you're not regularly hooking up to a 10,000-pound trailer or loading an eight-foot bed with more than a couple of two-by-fours, you've overbought what Ford has overbuilt. Finally, there's the aforementioned 6. For those seeking more from the gasoline side of the Ford family, the 6. Accessing the bed is made easier - and safer - by the why-didn't-they-think-of-this-before tailgate step option. Mileage is really a crap shoot rather or not it will be good or bad. Either engine will get the job done for him.
The F-250 and the F-350 come standard with a 5. My personal experience with my stang taught me this. In the new Super Duty the benchmark is moved upward in available choices, functionality and appointment. We'll start at the front, where Ford has located a front step bumper - under-the-hood checks are made easier when the step-stool is built-in and not something you need to carry with you. Take the test drive and let him make up his own mind.
We are running tunes in it now hoping to refine the 08+ models a little more. And with the premium price for diesel right now the sticker shock at the pump will be lower. When compared to the previous Super Duty, the grille and hood blister provide the main visual differentiation. Is it really beneficial for something that is already pushing the power it is? And for those venturing off into the Great Unknown, an optional navigation system should get you there and - hopefully - back again. Keep us updated on the refining. Better cooling means, of course, bigger towing.
As noted, the Super Duty order form provides a wealth of choices for virtually any commercial or recreational use. I don't see what everyone is seeing on their 6. Wish I could afford something so new. Beyond the imposing edifice are new fender-mounted vents, available telescoping mirrors and optional 20-inch forged aluminum wheels. Given the importance of towing capability to the Super Duty mission, the receiver is a standard feature any owner can appreciate. True that expenses seem to never end.
But now Ford has created a diesel offering more power 350 horsepower and torque 650 pound-feet , along with a cleaner burn, quieter operation and better throttle response via dual sequential turbos. All trims benefit from new materials, surfaces and accents. One thing on the v10 while it's a good engine you will have to let it revv up much higher then you are used to with the diesel and some don't like to do that I know I didn't when I had to borrow a gas burner while my truck was being worked on and some either go back to a diesel or always regret having gone to the gas but can't afford to go back to the diesel. Depends a lot on for what he'll use it. The diesel engine is an option on the F250 and F350, as is a 6. Constituting some 40 percent of Ford's F-Series sales, the Super Duty is intended to secure the most profitable segment of the pickup market.
. As to what goes on in the v10 forums, I could probably find the same amount that would support the other way. The v10 will do the job for you, but coming from a diesel it's hard to make the switch. Ford offers three engine choices for work, play or any combination of the two. Tune wise , It is worth it, from tip in to 4000 rpms more torque.
The F450 can tow a best-in-class 24,500 pounds and haul up to 5,720 pounds. Vehicle Details With the debut of the current F-Series, Ford established a benchmark for pickup interiors. I've been spending all my money on equipment for my tree business. In back Ford includes a hitch receiver - matched to each model's capabilities - on every Super Duty, along with seven-pin and four-pin connectors. The F-450 has a standard 6. We are really easy to work with, if you had tunes from us and are not fully happy with service and tunes we would just refund 100% of your money back. Given that profile, I wouldn't have a problem at all with a V10.
