Detailed item info Model OverviewLike the regular-duty F-150. Ford's Super Duty F-250 and F-350 are available in a very wide range of configurations for 2008. with three cab styles--regular. SuperCab and Crew Cab--and two bed lengths. Three different engines are offered on the Super Duty trucks. too. A 5. 4L V8 making 300 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque is standard. and for heavier duty there is either the 6. 8L V10. with 362 horsepower and 457 lb-ft. or the 6. 0L 'Power Stroke' turbo-diesel V8. making 325 horsepower and 570 lb-ft. Each engine is available with either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. The turbodiesel is a new-generation engine that uses dual-sequential turbochargers to help improve low-end performance and high-pressure common-rail fuel injection to help reduce emissions; emissions numbers are on par with competing gasoline engines. according to Ford. With either the diesel or V10. the Super Duty can tow up to 15. 00 using a conventional trailer hitch. The F-350 is available with a dual-rear-wheel (DRW. or "dually") setup that allows better stability for towing the heaviest trailers. and there's also an available TowCommand system. which includes a unique trailer-braking strategy that works in conjunction with the Super Duty's anti-lock braking system when it detects poor traction. The Super Duty has a fully boxed front frame section. and Ford claims to use the thickest-gauge steel of any pickup in its frame. The Super Duty models have a more upright appearance compared with the standard-duty F-150. especially at the front. The front end is more squared-off. with an upright grille that borrows some elements of its appearance from big rigs. Regular cab and SuperCab versions of the F-250 and F-350 can be specified with four-wheel drive. but the Crew Cab comes only with rear-wheel drive. Both come in XL. XLT. and Lariat trims. with the Lariat including a luxurious premium leather interior. automatic climate control. and many comfort and convenience features including adjustable pedals. A newly available rearview camera system. mounted within the rearview mirror. activates when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. using a camera mounted onto the tailgate to help guide drivers in tight-clearance situations. Green lines help guide the driver. marking the width of the vehicle. and they turn red as the truck gets too close to a barrier or object. Another standout feature is the PowerScope power-folding. power-telescoping mirrors. which include a spotter mirror and extend outward an additional 2. 75 inches as space permits. Setting for the mirror system are integrated with the seat- and pedal-memory system. There are also several special appearance packages. The King Ranch brings unique wheels.
