Trucks need to be powerful, and nowadays, they also need to be stylish. The 2018 Ford Super Duty series of trucks, which includes the F-250, F-350, and F-450, go way beyond just meeting these criteria. With two powerful engine choices and multiple trim packages, you are sure to find a Super Duty truck that can tow pretty much anything you throw at it while being just right on the interior.
Towing and Payload
The Ford Super Duty lineup of trucks are the strongest available. Each model of the F-250 and F-350 comes standard with an extremely capable 385 horsepower 6.2-liter V8. If you want maximum torque and power, it is worth upgrading to the 6.7 liter Power Stroke diesel that makes 450 horsepower and a whopping 925 pound-feet of torque. The Super Duty can tow up to 34,000 pounds, so you can feel confident that if you want to bring it with you, you can. Towing isn’t the only way the Super Duty carries more than the competition. The F-350 has a maximum payload of 7,630 pounds.
Interior Customization
Trucks used to be the office of the working man, barren and only fitted with essentials for getting the job done. The Super Duty still offers that option, but also provides the opportunity to surround yourself in a luxurious interior. On the new Limited trim level, you’ll get camelback two-tone leather front seats with heating, cooling, and ten-way power adjustability. Elsewhere in the cabin, you’ll find ash wood accents, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the Ford SYNC 3 system, including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and navigation.
Affordable Strength
Not everyone needs a full luxury outfit, and that’s another area where the Super Duty shines. You can get the same exceptional power and towing capacity in a stripped down package. A regular cab, long-bed F-250 XL with the Power Stroke diesel engine starts at only $42,270 MSRP. That is the beauty of the Ford Super Duty trucks, they can be a tool, a statement, or both. It is all up to you.
Advanced Technology
From an adaptive steering system to the class-exclusive Trailer Reverse Guidance system, the Super Duty incorporates technology that improves safety and convenience. The adaptive steering system, which is available on the XLT model and above, adjusts the steering ratio based on speed for an accurate turning in all situations.
Super Duty simplified backing up a trailer with Trailer Reverse Guidance. The available system provides cameras in the side view mirrors and visual guides on the center dash screen to help you keep track of where the trailer is going. For added accuracy, the camera view is digitally extended into an overhead view to show the direction of the truck and trailer.
Trucks are no longer a simple piece of machinery. The 2018 Super Duty offers all the brawn of a work truck with the refinement you’ve come to expect. Combine these qualities with advanced driver assistance technology and you have an undeniably great truck.
