FORD SUPER-DUTY®

POWER

6.4L POWERSTROKE® V8 TURBO DIESEL- With its 6.4L displacement and dual-sequential turbochargers, the 6.4L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel  cranks out a maximum 350 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. For applications like snow plowing that need lots of  low-end muscle, it can produce its peak torque at only 2,000 rpm. And thanks to the precision of the Piezo-actuated fuel injectors, the engine will start in under 2 seconds at -20°F.

 

DUAL TURBOS = MORE POWER, MORE QUICKLY- The 6.4L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel benefits from dual-stage turbochargers — one to get things moving, another to keep things moving at higher speeds. Previous-generation diesels use a single large turbo with a big, heavy impeller, which requires a lengthy spool up time. The smaller impellers are lighter and able to spool faster, which equals more power more quickly and thus better performance.

 

FORD CLEAN TURBO TECHNOLOGY™- Super Duty® uses Ford Clean Diesel Technology™ including a Diesel Particulate Filter to trap soot particles. It's also optimized to use the latest ultra-low sulfur fuel. It burns cleaner, with less odor, and helps the emissions system last longer. With particulate emissions equivalent to those of a gasoline engine with similar size and power, the 6.4L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel is Ford's cleanest, quietest diesel truck ever.

 

ADVANCED FUEL INJECTION- The 6.4L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel uses state of the art Piezo actuated fuel injector technology, which delivers multiple precision fuel injection bursts for a smoother, cleaner burn, reduced engine clatter, more powerful acceleration and reduced emissions.

 

TORQSHIFT™: A SMART, DURABLE TRANSMISSION- The proven TorqShift™ transmission was designed for the high-torque of a turbo diesel and includes a selectable Tow/Haul Mode that compensates for altitude, grade and load. It also features such as a 3-plate, 2-stage torque converter to reduce noise when the converter is locked.

DURABILITY

LONGER REAR LEAF SPRINGS- The rear suspension of the current-generation F-Series Super Duty® has 8-inch longer rear leaf springs than the previous model. This increased length provides more wind-up stiffness to manage the awesome torque of the 6.4L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel without compromising ride comfort.

 

FRAME STRENGTH- The Super Duty® frame is the foundation of its Built Ford Tough capability. For strength and durability, crossmembers are riveted, welded or both. Another strengthening measure, the hydroformed front end assembly is entirely spot welded.

 

HIGH-STRENGTH FRONT END STRUCTURE- Super Duty® uses all high-strength steel in its rugged hydroformed front end structure. Lighter weight and greater strength mean greater vehicle integrity.

 

REAL WORLD TESTED TOUGH- We approached twelve men and asked them to put the Super Duty® pickup to the most punishing real-world testing they could administer over a full year. In the end, the trucks proved they could handle any and all tough tasks they were called up to tackle. How tough really is the F-Series Super Duty®? Just ask any of the twelve who drove them.

 

TOUGH BED- SPRAY IN BEDLINER- Built Ford Tough factory-applied spray-in bedliner is a new option on 2009 F-Series Super Duty® pickups. It delivers exceptional weather resistance and protection against gouging, scratching, cracking and chipping.

CAPABILITY

TOWCOMMAND® WITH INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER- Super Duty® has the first available factory-installed, fully integrated Trailer Brake Controller (TBC) in a full-size pickup. No installation hassles or aftermarket worries. TBC is integrated with the ABS and synchronizes vehicle and trailer brakes for seamless braking, even with the heaviest loads. Telescoping trailer tow mirrors are included. Standard on the F-250/F-350 XLT, FX4, Lariat and F-450 Pickup. TowCommand® with TBC is optional on F-250/F-350 XL.

 

CLASS-LEADING PAYLOAD CAPACITY- Every trucker knows the value of a big payload capacity. Super Duty® delivers with a massive best-in-class maximum payload of 6,190 lbs. when properly equipped. More payload capacity can mean fewer trips. And fewer trips can save you time and money.

 

BEST-IN-CLASS TOWING CAPABILITY- Whether you want to tow a boxcar of building materials or a massive powerboat, you'll want Ford Super Duty® pulling for you. No truck in its class can tow more when properly equipped. And for demanding fifth wheel applications, the F-450 capability is without equal. When properly equipped, it can pull an astounding 24,600 lbs!

 

TIGHT TURNING RADIUS- The Super Duty® F-450 Crew Cab long-box 4x4 pickup features a standard wide-track monobeam front suspension design and more wheel well space (also available on F-350 DRW Crew cab long-box 4x4). That translates into a tight turning radius to help give you impressive maneuverability.

 

FORD WORK SOLUTIONS™- Ford Work Solutions™ is an optional suite of four innovative, industry-first technologies ranging from communications and computing to navigation, fleet tracking and security. Their mission: help business owners, contractors and fleet owners be more productive – and profitable. Available on XL, XLT, and FX4.

INNOVATION

STOWABLE BED EXTENDER- Super Duty innovation is evident in its optional Stowable Bed Extender, a cargo support for corralling more of what you carry. It splits in the middle, folds, and stows into the sides of the bed. There's no wasted space and no need to remove the extender when carrying large, flat loads. Made of fiberglass-filled polypropylene, the Stowable Bed Extender won't dent. It's strong, durable and corrosion resistant.

 

INTEGRATED TAILGATE STEP- Super Duty® offers an available integrated step hidden in the tailgate for easier access to the bed and its contents, including a unique flip-up grab bar that can handle the beefiest of grabbers. A tailgate liner and a pin-lock for added stiffness are included. It's unprecedented convenience, especially when combined with the torsion bar in the standard Tailgate Assist™ that makes closing the stamped-steel gate easy.

 

RAPID-HEAT SUPPLEMENTAL CAB HEATER- Rapid-Heat is an available supplemental heating element on diesel trucks that helps bring the interior temperature up to a comfortable level more quickly. The self-regulating heater integrates into the HVAC case, improving the temperature of the heater up to 18 degrees F at discharge.

 

POWERSCOPE™ SIDE MIRRORS- At the touch of a switch, the available PowerScope™ mirrors adjust, telescope or fold. Designed specifically for Super Duty®, these large mirrors extend up to 70mm and include heated glass. The manually adjustable spotter mirror is more than twice the size of its predecessor, providing expanded visibility. No other mirror in Super Duty's class offers this much functionality and convenience. Standard on FX4 and Lariat, available on XLT.

 

REAR VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM- The optional Rear View Camera System displays a wide view for backing up as well as a clear picture of the hitch - useful when hooking up the trailer. The camera is mounted in the tailgate handle and monitored in the self-dimming interior rearview mirror - for easy line of sight right where you need to be looking when backing up. Available on XLT, FX4 and Lariat.
