The F-250 to F-550 Super Duties are assembled at the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville. Kentucky. The F-650 and F-750 Super Duties were assembled at the Blue Diamond Truck plant in Mexico prior to 2014. when production was shifted to Avon Lake. Ohio. The Super Duty trucks are larger. heavier built series pickup trucks with heavier-duty body-on-frame steel ladder frames. axles. springs. brakes. transmissions. more powerful engines. and all other heavier/bigger components (with much higher payload and towing capacities) than the older traditional equivalent F-250. F-250HD (Heavy Duty). and F-350 Ford truck lines. The two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive model frames are the same in the F-250 and F-350 series. making conversion from a two-wheel-drive model to a four-wheel-drive model less difficult than in other truck models. F-350 chassis cab. F-450 and F-550 frames and suspension are the same between the two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive models. The trucks were once under investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for steering failures. but the investigation revealed the failures were driver error and had nothing to do with design.

Ford re-branded the heaviest-GVWR versions of the F-Series (F-950) as Super Duty models; these were powered by the Ford gasoline engines of the same name. [4] In 1963. the Super Duty name reappeared on the gasoline-engined variants of the N-Series trucks. [5]On the F-Series line. the Super Duty name first appeared as the "F-Super Duty" in 1987 on Class 4 chassis-cab models. 1999 – 2003[edit]First generationFord F-350 DRW Crew CabOverviewAlso calledF-250F-350F-450F-550ProductionJanuary 5. 1999–December 18. 2006Model years2000–20072001–present (Brazil)AssemblyLouisville. nbsp;Kentucky. nbsp;United States(Kentucky Truck Assembly)Silao. nbsp;Guanajuato. nbsp;MexicoValencia. nbsp;Carabobo. nbsp;Venezuela(Valencia Assembly)São Bernardo do Campo. nbsp;São Paulo. nbsp;Brazil (Ford Brazil)DesignerAndrew Jacobson (1994)Moray Callum (1995)[6]Body and chassisRelatedFord ExcursionPowertrainEngine4. 2L Essex V6 engine (Brazil.

Ford shifted the F-250 and F-350 truck lines to a design mechanically and cosmetically distinct from that of the F-150. The F-350 was not available for 1998. while a lighter-duty version of the F-250 was available that year with the F-150's body. By using two separate but related platforms for F-Series trucks. the inevitable compromises inherent in offering a wide range of load-carrying capacities were avoided. The main competition. nbsp;General Motors. followed suit for the 2001 model year. when the GMC Sierra 3500 were introduced. For the first time. larger trucks utilized a different design distinct from the smaller F-150 half-ton pickups. Although considered part of the F-Series. the Super Duty trucks shared no common body components aside from their taillights; under the skin. only the 5. 4L V8 was shared. The front was more boldly angular with a raised hood. similar to the Dodge Ram. As an industry first. 2 large complete ring-style front tow hooks were included. The side windows dropped lower forward in the door like a commercial medium to heavy duty truck (similar to a Kenworth "Daylight Door"). the grille was narrower and taller as if from a larger truck. and optional manual-telescoping trailer tow mirrors were available. 2002 Ford F-250 with 20-foot (6. 1 m) enclosed trailer for fourmotorcyclesThere were three cab options: Regular cab (2–3 passengers) with two doors. SuperCab (5–6 passengers). which included two small "suicide" doors at the rear. and the crew cab with four full doors and seats for 5–6 people. The Super and Crew cabs came with 6 3⁄4-foot (2. 1 m) and 8-foot (2. 4 m) full-size bed options. but the regular cab was only available with the 8-foot bed. The F-250 Super Duty would serve as the base platform for the Ford Excursion which was the only passenger SUV larger than the Chevrolet Suburban and its twin. the GMC Yukon XL. The Ford F-350 Super Duty first generation was also assembled in Venezuela as a commercial small truck from 1999 to 2010. For this market the F-350 featured the 5. 4L V8 Triton engine. a 5-speed manual transmission. and a choice of 4x2 or 4x4. Ford Super Duty trucks were built in Brazil between 1999 and 2011 . They were widely exported to Australia (F-250). South Africa and Argentina (where they were sold as the F-100). [7]Powertrain[edit]Engines[edit]The Super Duty had several available engines. A 2-valve-per-cylinder 5. 4 L Modular V8 with 255 horsepower (190 kW) and 350 ft·lbf (470 N·m) of torque was standard. while the 2-valve-per-cylinder 6. 8 L Modular V10 with 310 horsepower (230 kW) and 425 ft·lbf (576 N·m) of torque was an option. In 1999. power output for the 16V 5. 4L V8 increased slightly from 255 hp to 260 hp. For the 2005–2008 model years. all models equipped with the 5. 4L Triton received the 3V SOHC heads. Power was now rated at 300 hp with 365 lb/ft of torque. Similarly. the MY2005 Triton V10 received 3-valve heads and output was raised to 362 hp (270 kW) and 457 lb·ft (620 N·m). 7. 3 Power Stroke[edit]The 7. 3 Power Stroke turbodiesel with 235 horsepower (175 kW) and 500 ft·lbf (680 N·m) of torque from 1999 to 2000 and upped to 250 hp (190 kW) and 525 ft·lbf (712 N·m) of torque in 2001 thru first-quarter 2003 trucks equipped with an automatic transmission or 275 hp (205 kW) and 525 ft·lbf (712 N·m) of torque for trucks equipped with a manual transmission. 6. 0 Power Stroke[edit]The 6. 0 Power Stroke with a variable-vane turbo was phased in starting in the second quarter of 2003; this engine produced 325 horsepower (242 kW) and 560 ft·lbf (760 N·m) of torque. The 6. 0 L 32-valve pushrod-actuated Power Stroke single-turbo diesel was modified in 2004. boosting torque to 580 ft·lbf (790 N·m). but power remained the same as the previous version with 325 horsepower (242 kW). Due to impending tighter emissions requirements. along with a very high warranty exposure and over 500 full vehicle buybacks (175 by one northern California law firm alone). 8] 2007 models were the last to include the 6. 0 L diesel.

A standard 5-speed manual ZF S547 or ZF5 was standard for gasoline engines. and a standard ZF 6-speed manual for diesel engines. An optional 4R100 4-speed automatic was available for either the gas or diesel engines. later being replaced with the TorqShift 5-speed automatic. The 5-speed automatics are rated at exactly 1. 00 lb (450 kg) higher towing capacity than trucks with the standard 5/6-speed manual transmission. The 6-speed manual transmission comes with an integrated PTO. Torqshift 5R110[edit]The Torqshift 5-speed 5R110 automatic transmission replaced the 4-speed in the 2003 model year truck in order to compete with the Allison 1000 series from General Motors; it was paired with the new 6. 0 L diesel engine. The TorqShift design in fact has six forward ratios. but only five are advertised. with the 'hidden' gear only used in extreme cold weather. The TorqShift 1st to 5th gear ratios are 3. 11. 2. 22. 1. 55. 1. 00. and 0. 71:1. It also utilizes an alternate 4th gear. overdrive on 2nd gear of the 3-speed automatic component (0. 72 x 1. 55). that is 1. 10:1 that is used under cold start conditions to aid engine and transmission warm up. On the TorqShift. once the Tow/Haul mode is activated it can help increase a driver's control when towing large loads up and down steep grades and automatically minimizes shifts and maximizes available torque. Upon descent. the Tow/Haul mode utilizes engine braking to help extend brake life and improve driver control. An adaptive shift function monitors the TorqShift's performance over its lifetime. and adjusts shift pressures in real time to assure consistent shift feel and compensate for wear. For ease of maintenance. the TorqShift's oil filter is a spin-off style. mounted on the passenger-side exterior of the transmission. Also the TorqShift's larger fluid lines and a larger transmission oil cooler help to assure cooler operating temperatures. even under the most demanding conditions. This was Ford's first automatic transmission to feature PTO. The transmission can be equipped with an integrated PTO provision (which automatically locks the torque converter providing power to the PTO gear when the operator turns on the PTO switch). [9]Transfer case and 4x4[edit]On 4x4 models there is a choice of a manual chain-driven transfer case floor shifter with manual front locking hubs or Electronic-Shift-On-the-Fly (ESOF. a $185 option over the manual) dash knob with vacuum activated automatic and (in case of failure) manual override front hubs. The optional FX4 models are basically a standard 4x4 with an Off Road package that includes a few extras like upgraded heavy duty Rancho shocks. nbsp;limited-slip rear differential. added skid plates for the fuel tank and transfer case. and two "FX4" decals on both back bed-sides instead of the standard "4x4". For all 4x4 models. the 2-speed transfer case 4x4-LOW range has a gear reduction of 2. 72:1.

Prior to 2004. a Dana 60 was used on F-450 and F-550s; 2005–2007 models use a Dana Super 60. Leaf springs eventually got switched to coils for the 2005 model year and the front sway bar was relocated to a frame mounting location. instead of being part of the front axle's unsprung weight. The front suspension on two-wheel drive trucks is independent twin I-beam with coil springs on the F-250 and F-350 pickups. while a solid axle is used on F-350. F-450 and F-550 cab chassis trucks. The manual locking hubs on Super Duty trucks are made by Warn. [10]The rear suspension on all F-250 and F-350 SRW (single rear wheel) models use a 10. 5-inch (270 mm) Sterling 10. 5 axle 35-spline axle with choices of conventional or limited-slip differentials in 3. 73. 4. 10. and 4. 30:1 ratios. The Sterling axle was upgraded for the Super Duty trucks. The ring gear was increased from the 10. 25 inches to 10. 50 and the carrier was upgraded with three pinions instead of two. Disc brakes were made standard. F-350 DRW models use a Dana 80. All models have heavy duty 3" wide leaf springsand staggered shock absorbers. A standard stabilizer bar is included on DRW models. An optional slide-in camper certification package with heavier springs and an optional stabilizer bar package are available on SRW models. The rear suspension on F-450 trucks used Dana 80 axles while F-550 models used a Dana 135 until 2005 models. 2005–2007 models use a Dana S 110 axle.

The truck runs strong and should continue to run for many years to come. It is common for these trucks to reach 600. 00 miles if they are properly maintained. This truck needs regular oil changes and check ups like any diesel. It will also need any other routine maintenance such as tune-ups. as it is continually used. I have noticed that this truck seems to run better the more it is driven and it is very powerful. This truck is not new. but it can continue to drive great as long as it is maintained right. The 4X4 works good. Sometimes a little antifreeze sweats out of the coolant cap on a warm day. so it needs to be checked on occasion. The tires are at about 65 - 75 percent tread. I used this truck to pull a trailer and it did that with no problem at all. If you have any questions. please ask. Please watch the video Below to see the truck in action! . Don't forget to turn your head to the side because I held my phone wrong when I took the video. lol Get your own valid XHTML YouTube embed code
