Introduction
Ford understands that F-Series Super Duty buyers rely on their trucks, day in and day out, to tow, haul, and to serve as a mobile office. To differentiate the work truck from the light-duty F-150 lifestyle truck, Ford created a distinct model called the Super Duty back in 1998, sporting the appearance and attitude (and nearly the size) of a Class 8 semi, in F-350 crew cab dually format. Since then, the Super Duty has undergone several improvement programs, and the 2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty receives a thorough massage from the wheels up. According to Ford, the new 2011 Super Duty has increased towing and payload capacity, and fuel economy is improved with two new engines. The 2011 Super Duty’s ride, handling and steering are better than before, says Ford, and the Super Duty receives several new technologies aimed at improving safety and functionality.
