Gainesville, Florida, United States

Model Overview
Like 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 15,000 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, Arizona Beige trim, and an interior with Chaparral leather plus other
additional luxury and interior appearance items. The Lariat Highline Edition adds chrome trim throughout, including
on the billet-style grille, tubular step bars, tow hooks, exhaust tip, and instrument trim. Captain's chairs and
black leather upholstery bring the interior a different look. There's also a Lariat Outlaw Package, which comes
with a monotone black exterior with red tape stripe; inside the black theme continues with black and red
leather-trimmed captain's chairs.

2015 Ford F-150 appearance guide takes the truck from mild to wild with options
Thu, 31 Jul 2014We already know that the 2015 Ford F-150 has a base price coming in at just $395 more than the 2014 model, despite all of the new standard tech and aluminum-intensive construction in the upcoming version. Now the Blue Oval is finally giving us an idea of what that extra money actually buys customers, with the release of the appearance guide for its latest pickup.
The guide basically explains everything you could want to know about what changes occur among the multitude of trims on the 2015 F-150. There are five levels for the new truck. Although, that is something of a misnomer because most of them are also available with either Sport or Chrome packages, plus the FX4 Off-Road option with Hill Descent Control, an electronic-locking rear axle, off-road shocks and skid plates. With 13 available colors, including 4 new ones, and 14 wheel designs in various sizes, pickup buyers should have no problem specing one to fit their style.
The lineup starts out with the base XL with a black grille and fascia and 17-inch wheels. However, across most of the range the Sport and Chrome packages are also available to add either body-color or chrome accents, respectively. Next up is the XLT with a standard chrome grille but also available with a black, billet-style one with a body-color surround. Things really start getting plush with the Lariat model with leather trim, a three-bar front end and 18-inch wheels. The King Ranch sticks with that look but adds power running boards, 20-inch wheels and two-tone paint. Finally, the top-dog Platinum is all about bling with yet another frontal design, chrome door handles and mirror caps, a big logo running across the tailgate and more.
Ford won't be releasing GT500 lap times for the 'Ring, or any other car
Wed, 27 Nov 2013Trucks have towing capacity, EVs have driving range and performance cars have Nürburgring lap times. What do all three have in common? They should all be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, there is no sanctioned way to record lap times or verify production-spec cars - a lesson we recently learned with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo - and until there is a way to do so (and there probably never will be), we'll never officially know the actual time it took for Ford to lap the 'Ring with its ultra-powerful Shelby GT500.
After posting a Ford-made video of a 2013 GT500 running around the 'Ring, the guys over at SVTPerformance.com (an enthusiasts forum not affiliated with Ford or SVT) wanted more answers. They got in touch with Ford's Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi, who said until there is a way to verify the times and inspect the cars, Ford will not get involved with lap-time wars. In the email, Hameedi pointed out that the 'Ring is a useful tool in that it allows a wide spectrum of track conditions, but until there is a governed way to record times, there is no way to accurately compare cars head-to-head.
And as much as some may not like it, Hameedi speaks the truth. It really isn't possible to compare times from one car to another, unless those cars were lapping the same track at the same time with the same driver. Not that any of this means there won't be continuous wars by fans and manufacturers alike... in other words, feel free to voice your opinions in the Comments below.
2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Your Mileage May Vary
As difficult as it is to write this, I was actually excited about the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With the beautiful looks of the newest midsize fighter from Ford and a fuel economy estimate capable of shaming even the stalwart Camry Hybrid, the battery-augmented four-door seemed like a recipe for unabashed success. But appearances love nothing more than swapping our boundless enthusiasm for cold platters of disappointment. The 2013 Fusion Hybrid gets hobbled right out of the gate with a lofty price tag, and real-world driving keeps the sedan from even approaching those EPA figures.
With so many excellent midsize hybrids on the market, is there any reason to consider the newest Fusion Hybrid? Are sharp aesthetics, a well-executed interior and capable driving dynamics enough to overcome the machine's shortfalls? Not from where I'm standing.
