THE MOST CAPABLE PICKUPS IN AMERICA
Whether you’re pulling or carrying, for the really big jobs, F-Series
Super Duty Pickups have one mission: to be the toughest, most capable
pickups in the nation. So every vehicle system is designed toward
the goal of effortlessly hauling the biggest payloads and towing the
heaviest trailers, while maintaining optimum control of those huge
loads. Here’s why Super Duty Tough always leads:
POWERFUL GAS AND DIESEL ENGINES
• 5.4L Triton
®
V8 – 300 hp & 365 lb-ft torque
• 6.8L Triton
®
V10 – 362 hp & 457 lb-ft torque (Best-in-class gas
horsepower and torque)
• 6.4L Power Stroke
®
V8 Turbo Diesel – 350 hp & 650 lb-ft torque
(All new for 2008!)
BEST-IN-CLASS MAXIMUM TOWING
THICK C CHANNEL FRAME of up to 6.7-mm steel is one
reason Super Duty delivers best-in-class payload and
towing.
NEW LONGER REAR SPRINGS measure over 66" to deliver
enhanced ride characteristics and provide more windup
stiffness to manage torque without compromising ride
comfort.
HOTCHKISS REAR SUSPENSION allows model-specific
spring and axle ratings for a wide range of capacities.
OUTSTANDING BRAKING POWER is what you get from
the standard 4-wheel power disc Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS). Huge vented rotors and dual-piston calipers
provide strong, consistent stops, even when moving the
biggest loads.
BODY-TO-FRAME MOUNTING BOLTS are driven from the
bottom up, a feature many aftermarket builders find
desirable.
TIGHT TURNS are easy with the F-450 wide-track
monobeam front suspension and more wheel-well space,
delivering an outstanding turning diameter for better
maneuverability.
