Ford has added new features to respond to strong initial customer demand for its Super Duty model work trucks, including the all-new Ford F-450 –– the first-ever Class 4 pickup available from the factory. Upgrades include select F-350 dual-rear-wheel (DRW) models that can be outfitted with the F-450’s front suspension, which offers the tightest turning radius in its class. The heavier-duty front suspension also has larger axles that give the truck more payload and towing capability, Ford says.

The new Super Duty also is available with a new Rearview Camera System with a unique rear-view-mirror-mounted display, allowing customers to clearly view objects behind the vehicle in their natural sightlines while reversing, according to Ford. The camera is mounted in the tailgate handle bezel and is activated when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.

The easy-to-view video image displays green lines that mark the width of the vehicle so drivers can back up with confidence. The lines turn red when the system detects the truck is getting too close to an object. As an added benefit, the rearview camera system is designed so the truck’s tailgate can be removed without needing to unhook or unplug the camera.
The F-Series Super Duty pickup is offered in three cab styles – Regular Cab, SuperCab and Crew Cab – and two bed lengths – 6 3/4 ft. and 8 ft. Super Duty features new styling, a more powerful, state-of-the-art 6.4L Power Stroke V-8 Turbo Diesel and many other features.

The 6.4-liter Power Stroke Diesel offers high-tech, series dual-sequential turbochargers that provide improved response and better low-end performance; a high-pressure, common rail fuel system, piezo-electric fuel injectors and an advanced diesel particulate filter system that deliver strong performance while reducing particulate output by more than 90 percent and posting emissions numbers on par with gasoline engines.
