Ford’s new F-250, F-350, and F-450 have reclaimed heavy-duty-truck bragging rights with a new diesel engine, extreme towing capability, and clever tech.
, and F-450 Super Duty, there's a new heavy-duty pickup claiming the bragging rights. The new trucks, which are on dealer lots now, can be armed with up to 1,200 lb-ft of torque, a max payload of 8,000 pounds, or a 40,000-pound towing capacity. Ford must know that these numbers are getting silly, though, because it's not counting on capability alone to sell the Super Duty. Engineers have also outfitted the new model with an arsenal of high-tech features that make work and play easier.
Driven with a lighter foot, the new Power Stroke is both a gentleman and a beast. That F-450 easily muscled 40,000 pounds up a 7 percent grade starting from a stop. In an F-250 Limited, the engine did its part to justify the $92,085 sticker by simply making itself scarce until called on. The diesel's vibrations are subdued and the noise, while hardly musical, is smooth and hushed.
On an undulating, mud-slicked trail, a diesel F-250 with the XL Off-Road package never hunted for purchase, but if you're planning on more hardcore recreational adventures, the Tremor Off-Road package makes a compelling argument with its taller 35-inch tires, front limited-slip differential, front-end lift, and Trail Turn Assist, which drags the inside rear wheel in corners to drastically tighten its turning circle.
