Ford 250 For Sale

Ford F-Series From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For the 1999–present F-250 and higher models, see Ford Super Duty. Ford F-Series Manufacturer Ford Motor Company Production 1948–present Successor Ford Super Duty (F-250 & F-350) Class Full-size pickup truck Layout Front engine, rear-wheel drive / four-wheel drive The F-Series is a series of full-size pickup trucks from Ford Motor Company sold for over six decades. The most popular variant of the F-Series is the F-150. It was the best-selling vehicle in the United States for 24 years and has been the best-selling truck for 34 years,[1] though this does not include combined sales of GM pickup trucks.[2] Analysts estimate that the F-Series alone makes up half of the Ford Motor Company's profits in recent years[citation needed]. In the tenth generation of the F-series, the F-250 and F-350 changed body style in 1998 and joined the Super Duty series.

It was a modern-looking truck with a flat, one-piece windshield and integrated headlights. Options were the "See-Clear" windshield washer (operated by foot plunger), passenger side windshield wiper & sun visor, and passenger side taillight. The F-1 truck was also available with additional chrome and two horns as an option. All F-series were available in "Marmon-Herrington All Wheel Drive" until 1959. A Mercury-badged version of this F-Series was sold only in Canada. Design of the F-Series truck changed little from 1948 to 1952. From 1948 to 1950, the grill was a series of horizontal bars and the headlights were set into the fenders. For 1951 and 1952, the headlights were connected by a wide aerodynamic cross piece with three similarly aerodynamic supports. The rear window was wider in the later trucks and the dashboard was redesigned. F-series trucks were built at sixteen different Ford plants. Serial numbers indicate the truck model, engine, year, assembly plant, and unit number. The most common model was the F-1 with a 6 ½-foot bed followed by the F-2 and F-3 Express models with an 8-foot (2.4 m) bed. The models are: F-1: 1/2 ton (4,700 GVWR max) F-2: 3/4 ton (5,700 GVWR max) F-3: Heavy Duty 3/4 ton (6,800 GVWR max) F-3: Parcel Delivery (7,000 GVWR max) & optional rear spring pkg (7,800 GVWR max) F-4: 1 ton (7,500 GVWR max) & optional 1¼ ton pkg (10,000 GVWR max) F-5: 1½ ton: Conventional, school bus, and cab over engine (C.O.E.)

The pickups also acquired their now familiar names: The F-1 now became the F-100, the F-2 now became the F-250, and the F-3 now became the 1 ton F-350. Starting on the 1956 models, Ford offers the very rare "Low GVWR" versions of each model. Optional interior amenities were new, including a dome light, lighter, arm rests, sun visors and a radio. On March 13, 1953, "Ford-O-Matic" automatic transmissions became an option. The 1953 F-100 was the last year for the flathead in the US. Canadian models, however, (Mercury M-Series), retained the flathead. 1954 saw the introduction of the new 239 CID overhead valve Y-block 8 cylinder, dubbed "Power King." The six cylinder engine's displacement was also increased from 215 to 223 CID and power steering was introduced as an option.. In 1955 the 239 Y-block was replaced with the 272 and 292. The 1956 F-100 is a one-year only body style. The 1956 F-100 is easily identified as it has vertical windshield pillars and a wrap around windshield as opposed to the sloped pillars and angled windshield of the 1953-55. The 1956 model also offered a larger wrap-around back window as an option. Second generation trucks were built in Brazil from 1957 to 1962 as the F-100, F-350 and F-600. Models: F-100: 1/2 ton (5,000 GVWR max) F-110: 1/2 ton (4,000 GVWR max) F-250: 3/4 ton (7,400 GVWR max) F-260: 3/4 ton (4,900 GVWR max) F-350: 1 ton (9,800 GVWR max) F-360: 1 ton (7,700 GVWR max) Engines: Engine Years Power 215 CID Straight-6 1953 101 hp (75 kW) 239 CID Flathead V8 1953 100 hp (75 kW) 223 CID Mileage Maker I6 1954–55 115 hp (86 kW) 239 CID Y-block V8 1954–55 130 hp (97 kW) 223 CID Mileage Maker I6 1956 137 hp (102 kW) 272 CID Y-block V8 1956 173 hp (129 kW) 1953 Mercury M-100, a Canada only rebadged F-100   1953 Ford F-100   1955 Ford F-100 (rear)   1956 Mercury M-100 pickup   [edit] Third generation (1957–1960) Third generation Production 1957–1960 Assembly Dearborn, Michigan, USA Edison, New Jersey, USA Kansas City, Missouri, USA Long Beach, California, USA Norfolk, Virginia, USA St. Paul, Minnesota, USA St. Louis, Missouri, USA La Boca, Argentina São Paulo, Brazil Hapeville, Georgia, USA Louisville, Kentucky, USA San Jose, California, USA Wayne, Michigan, USA Lorain, Ohio, USA Body style(s) 2-door pickup Engine(s) 223 CID (3.7 L) Mileage Maker I6 272 CID (4.5 L) Y-block V8 292 CID (4.8 L) Y-block V8 The truck was restyled again in 1957 with a hood that now sat flush with the fenders and a new chrome grille. In the back, the traditional separate-fender body was now called flareside, while a new smooth-sided look was known as styleside. Four wheel drive drive-train, which was previously outsourced to Marmon-Herrington, was produced in-house by Ford Motor Company beginning in 1959. Ford still offers a "Low GVWR" version of each model. In May 1957 Ford discontinued building trucks at the Highland Park Ford Plant in Highland Park, Michigan. All heavy trucks were transferred to Kentucky Truck Assembly in Louisville, Kentucky. All light and medium trucks were transferred to 10 other plants in the USA. Third generation trucks were built in Brazil as the F-100, F-350 & F-600 from 1962 to 1971.

From 1964 on, only the traditional separate cab and bed arrangement were available. Power was over 200 hp (150 kW) with the 1965 update of the powertrain. In 1965, the Twin I-Beam front suspension was introduced with coil springs and the 300 replaced the 223. 1965 also marked the beginning of a completely different chassis and many parts from 65-79 interchange such as brakes and motor mounts. The 1965 and 1966 trucks have a "TWIN I-BEAM" emblem on the front fender. A 4-door crew cab version was also introduced in 1965, still a popular option. Ford still offered a "Low GVWR" version of each model. The Camper Special was built heavier for the slide in campers that were becoming increasingly popular during this time. In 1965, the name "Ranger" is first introduced as a styling package for the F-Series pickup trucks using mustang bucket seats and a curtain over the gas tank. Then later (1982) the name Ranger is used for Ford's compact series trucks; an entry in the mini-pickup segment. It went on to become the top-selling compact pickup in the American market. In 1965, the 300-cubic inch (4.9 L) straight six was introduced (a larger version of the 240-cubic inch Six). It had 7 main bearings and timing gears (no chain or belt).

In 1968, federal regulations required all automotive manufacturers to add side marker reflectors or lights, so Ford redesigned the hood emblems to incorporate reflectors.[3][4] The same year the trucks received larger versions of Ford's FE engine family with the introduction of the 360 and 390 cubic inch engines. Also changed for 1968 were the heater controls, arm rests, interior door handles and window cranks, and the upper trim moulding on models so equipped. Rear side marker reflectors were also added to the lower bed side panels in 1968, per government regulations. The 302 V8 became an option in late '69. The top trim for 1970 was now named Ranger XLT with Ranger, Sport Custom and Custom rounding off the rest of the line. The fifth generation bodies were noted for durability and simplicity of design making them a favorite for restoration. Some trucks came with an outer flush mounted bed side compartment/tool box on the passenger side only. Trucks from the Fifth Generation can be identified as to year model by their year specific grille arrangements. After the 1968 models, Ford discontinued the "Low GVWR" versions. Still available was the Camper Special option, along with the new Explorer Special (a trim package), Contractor's Special(including a behind the seat toolbox and 3/4 ton (F-250) suspension), Farm and Ranch Special, and Heavy-Duty Special. Most of these "specials" from 1967 to 1972 were made in relatively low numbers and are now becoming increasingly difficult to locate.[citation needed] The fifth-generation F-series was introduced in Brazil in 1971, which remained in production until circa 1992[5] with a slight redesign and changes in its motorizations. It was the last Ford truck manufactured in the Ipiranga plant, that was soon closed.

Large round headlights were on either side of the grille with the park/turn signal lamps placed above in the same rail where the "FORD" lettering was. Medium-duty models, however, weren't redesigned as drastically as the light-duty trucks. In fact they were incredibly similar to the fifth-generation medium-duty F-Series trucks. In 1976, this familiar "split-grille" design was facelifted slightly to feature black accents around the headlights and a refined appearance overall. In 1978, the round headlight design was retained for the regular Ranger and Custom trim levels. The XLT and "Lariat" trim level incorporated rectangular headlights with optional chrome headlight doors and chrome grille insert. The split grille design was overhauled in favor of a single-piece grille insert design. The headlights were also placed in a more stylized "insert" themselves, and the park/turn signal lamps were now placed below the headlights. Additionally, a new chrome-plated "F O R D" letter set could now be seen on the hood immediately above the grille. A luxury Lariat trim was also introduced for 1978. In 1979, the round headlights were replaced by rectangular headlamps across all the trim levels and the surrounding grille insert that framed the headlamps was now available in either black, or chrome to match that of the aluminum grille frame. The similarities between 1967–1972 medium-duty F-Series, compared to those made between 1973 and 1979. In 1973, a new model was offered, the F350 SRW (single rear wheel) pickup. These were a new heavy duty pickup with contractors and camping enthusiasts in mind. The trucks rode on a longer wheel base chassis but were the same overall length as an F250 pickup. If you ordered the Camper Special package on an F350 SRW it became a Super Camper Special which was designed for the much heavier slide-in campers coming on the market at that time. Other changes included the 1974 introduction of the extended super cab version. The F-150 was introduced in 1975 to help circumvent coming emissions requirements. These came with a maximum payload of 2,275 lb (1,032 kg) when properly equipped. With the 1/2 ton F-100 still in production, the new F-150 was referred to as the "heavy half" ton by some people. In 1976, the F-series became the best-selling truck in America, a position it has continued to hold since. This generation is noted for the durability of the body panels as Ford used extensive amounts of galvanized sheet metal to fight corrosion. 1977 was the first year for smaller cowl insignias moved near the windshield and the last year for the medium-duty F-500. The GVWR ratings for these trucks was tied to a combination of wheel, spring, axle and brake combinations. The series code on the ID tag denotes which model and from that it can be determined what weight rating each vehicle has. 4×4 trucks can also be identified by the VIN number and on the ID plate as a serial number. For example, F10 is an F-100 2 wheel drive but F11 is an F-100 4×4, and so on. Serial numbers beginning with an "X" are SuperCab models. Starting in 1978, Ford redesigned their Ford Bronco and based it upon the F-150. The Bronco was now virtually identical to the F-150, except for the unibody design structure. The new Bronco incorporated design characteristics which eliminated leaky roofs and body flex associated with other full size removable top utility vehicles of the era. This allowed Ford to compete better with the Chevrolet Blazer by offering a larger and more luxurious SUV while minimalizing production costs since many (especially the most complex and expensive) parts were shared with the F-series trucks. The Bronco was only offered with the 351M and 400 V8 engines Models: F100 F101 F102 F103 F104 F105 F106 F107 F108 F109 F10N: 1/2 ton (4,550–5,700 GVWR max) F110 F111 F112 F113 : 1/2 ton (4×4)(5,250–6,500 GVWR max) F150 F151 : "heavy" 1/2 ton (6,050–6,200 GVWR max) F140 F141 F142 F143: "heavy" 1/2 ton (6,050–6,500 GVWR max) F250 F251 F252 F253 F254 F255 F256 F257 F258 F259: 3/4 ton (6,200–8,100 GVWR max) F260 F261 F262 F263 F264 F265 F266: 3/4 ton (4×4) (6,500–8,400 GVWR max) F350 F350 F351 F352 F353 F354 F355 F356 F357 F358 F359 F35P: 1 ton (6,000–10,000 GVWR max) F-360: 1 ton (4×4) (8,550 GVWR max) Engines: Engine Years Power (SAE net) 240 CID Straight-6 1973–77 300 CID I6 1973–79 302 CID Windsor V8 1969–72 130 hp (97 kW) 352 CID FE V8 1973–77 360 CID FE V8 1973–76 145 hp (108 kW) 390 CID FE V8 1973–77 195 hp (145 kW) 460 CID 385 V8 1973–79 200–220 hp (150–162 kW) 351 CID 351M V8 1977–79 163 hp (122 kW) 400 CID 400M V8 1977–79 169 hp (126 kW) 1973–1975 Ford F-100 XLT   1977 Ford F-150 Explorer   1978 – 79 Ford F100 Custom XLT, with right-hand drive in Australia   1978 Ford F-250   [edit] Seventh generation (1980–1986) Seventh generation Production 1980–1986 Assembly Cuautitlan, Mexico Dearborn, Michigan, USA Kansas City, Missouri, USA Norfolk, Virginia, USA St. Paul, Minnesota, USA General Pacheco, Argentina Louisville, Kentucky, USA Wayne, Michigan, USA Oakville, Ontario, Canada, San Jose, California,USA Body style(s) 2-door pickup 4-door pickup Engine(s) 300 CID (4.9 L) I6 255 CID (4.2 L) Windsor V8 302 CID (5.0 L) Windsor V8 351 CID (5.8 L) Windsor V8 400 CID (6.6 L) 335 V8 460 CID (7.5 L) 385 V8 6.9 L (420 CID) Diesel V8 1981 Ford F-150 (aftermarket modifications) 1981–1987 Ford F-100 utility (aftermarket modifications) The next major redesign came in 1980. The new truck had a squarer look, with sharp lines and flat panels; the trucks were designed with improved fuel efficiency in mind, and to this end, Ford added its new AOD automatic overdrive (four-speed) transmission as an option on light-duty models. Also new was Ford's first use of an independent front suspension on 4×4 models. The Ranger trim line was dropped from the F-Series in 1982, since that name was to be applied to the new Ford Ranger compact pickup, which replaced the Ford Courier mini-pickup line. Trim options became XL, XLS, XLT, and XLT Lariat. In 1982 the "F-O-R-D" letters were removed from the hood and a blue oval logo appeared on a slightly re-designed grille that featured fewer vertical bars than the previous 1980–1981 grille. The big-block 460 CID V8 was dropped for 1980, but returned in 1983 along with the 6.9 L V8 International Harvester IDI option. In 1982, the 335-series "Cleveland" V8s were discontinued. The 351M was replaced by the 351 Windsor (an older design that now made its debut in light trucks), while the 400 vanished altogether (Ford's competitors had ceased selling engines in that size range a few years before). The 5.0 L V8 switched over to fuel injection, first as an option in 1985 and then as standard in 1986. The new Essex V6 was added in 1982, but didn't sell particularly well. It was dropped after 1983, and the long-lived 300 inline six continued as the standard engine through the series. Trucks equipped with the 3-speed manual transmission were the last American vehicles to have a column-shifted manual transmission.[citation needed] The F-100 was dropped as the base model at the end of 1983 and the now-familiar F-150 took its place as the base model F-Series truck for 1984. This generation also saw extensive use of galvanized body panels to fight corrosion which is now gaining them popularity among restorers.[citation needed] The various changes that occurred between the 1981 and 1982 model years were accompanied by a slight cosmetic change- 1980–81 trucks have a plain grille with "FORD" spelled across the front of the hood in chrome letters, similar to the previous generation. 1982–86 models had the letters removed, and a Ford oval placed in the center of the grille. This made the 1982 the first model year to feature a blue oval on the front, something that has been on every model that followed it, with the exception of the 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor.[6] This generation saw two different sets of trim levels: In 1980 and 1981, there was: Custom- Mainly Base model with manual locks/windows, vinyl seat, and black rubber floor mat,but could be had with other options. Ranger- Intermediate trim that added a color-keyed floor mat, chrome trim on the door panels,and woodtone dash trim. Ranger XLT- A step up from the Ranger that added better seat trim, a color-keyed headliner, color-keyed carpeting, aluminum tailgate trim and optional power windows/locks. Ranger Lariat- a step above the XLT that added a plusher interior,and Woodgrain Trim on the door panels.It also featured special "Lariat" emblems on the cab,as well as Ranger Lariat script above the radio. For 1982–1986: Base – basically the same as the Custom of the previous years. XL – replaced the intermediate Ranger trim for 1982 as the Ranger name would be used for Ford's new compact truck. XLS- a new trim level that featured a blacked-out grille, bumpers, headlight bezels, and windshield trim. It also featured a stripe graphics package and black and silver dash trim. Available exterior colors were red, silver, and black. XLT Lariat- featured floor carpeting, color-keyed headliner, a standard chrome grille, and optional power windows/door locks.1984 saw the last year for woodgrain trim on the door panels as 1985–1986 models had a carpeted section applied to the door panels.In 1985 the tailgate trim was changed to a "flat" full width aluminum with a red "reflector" towards the bottom with chrome FORD letters. Explorer – Could be had with any interior setup. The "Explorer" trim line received a higher geared rear end, an AM/FM radio, chrome bumpers, chrome fender well trim, and a chrome grill. The Explorer Line would later be dropped to introduce the Ford Explorer SUV in 1991.Explorer packages changed every year,and were only offered for a limited time each model year. This generation of Ford trucks are the latest to become popular restoration projects as most of these trucks are becoming emissions exempt in most states and now old enough to be registered as classics or antiques. In Mexico, there is an "F-200" which was introduced in 1976. This variant remained until 1991.

Ford F-250 Super Cab Ford Truck With Aftermarket Flatbed The 1987 design was more streamlined, and maintenance items were made simpler. Rear antilock brakes were now standard, the first truck to boast this. The manual transmission was revised with five speeds in 1988, and the flareside box was dropped. For 1987 the 4.9 L (300 CID) had standard fuel injection; for 1988, the 351 CID (5.8 L) and 7.5 L (460 CID) also gained fuel injection, with 1988 being the first year no carbureted engines were offered. 1988 also saw the replacement of the 6.9 L (420 CID) diesel V8 with a 7.3 L (445 CID) International Harvester IDI diesel V8 (now making 180 hp (130 kW). and 365 ft·lbf (495 N·m). of torque). Four wheel drive improvements included the addition of automatic locking hubs for the F-150 in 1989, and for the rest in 1991. Starting in 1980 (to 1996), Ford offered a four-wheel-drive swing arm independent front suspension called Twin-Traction Beam, or TTB. Based on its I-beam suspension from the mid '60s, Ford mounted a Dana 44 differential in the driver-side (front) axle beam and transmitted torque to the passenger-side wheel with a double U-jointed axleshaft. Radius arms and coil springs were still used on the F-150's, while the four-wheel-drive F-250s and F-350s got leaf springs. The F-250s received TTB Dana 50 axles and the F-350s got a solid axle Dana 60. The 5.0 L (302 CID) truck also had an optional "Touch Drive" electronic transfer case. Custom, XL, XLT, and XLT Lariat were the trim options available. Towards the end of this generation, there was the addition of the behind cab cargo light. For 1991, a new "Nite" trim package was introduced. It included all blacked-out exterior trim and either a pink or blue/purple stripe and "Nite" decal on the sides of the cargo box. Some sources report that a sport suspension was included, although this is not certain. The "F-Super Duty" (as the fender emblems stated) models appeared from 1987 to 1997. They were basically F-450s built as an "incomplete vehicle" (chassis cab) due to the fact that there was no bed installed and an aftermarket bed (specific to its future use) was added after the truck's initial build date. It came with dual fuel tanks with a dash-mounted toggle switch to switch between each tank while using only the one fuel gauge. It came with a PTO (Power Take-Off) used to power attachments (like winches or a dump bed) from the transmission. They were rated at about 15,000 lb (6,800 kg) GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). They came with either the standard 7.5 L (460 CID) gas V8 or the optional 7.3 L (445 CID) diesel V8. All wheels were 10-lug with DRW (Dual Rear Wheels). This model should not be confused with the "Super Duty" commercial line of trucks starting with the 1999 model year.

The "Nite" package introduced in 1991 continued, but was dropped at the end of the 1992 model year. The Lightning Performance Truck appeared as a 1993 model, with more than 20 industry "firsts" or pilot applications, including 17-inch (430 mm) aluminum wheels, gas-charged shocks, and performance handling developed by world-champion driver Jackie Stewart. The Lightning was powered by a special 240 hp (180 kW) version of the 351-cubic-inch (5.8 L) V8 engine. The 1994 models brought several changes, including a driver's-side airbag, "CHMSL" third brake light, brake-shift interlock and CFC-free air conditioning. New options in 1994 included remote keyless entry with alarm, a compact disc player fitted into the regular stereo system, and a power driver's seat; an electrochromic inside rear view mirror was also offered in 1994 and 1995 as part of a luxury light package. Following the lead of the Explorer, an Eddie Bauer trim line — featuring plusher trim and increased standard features — was added for 1995. Ford trailed rival General Motors in combined truck sales for much of the ninth generation, though sales steadily rose each year. 500,000 F-Series trucks were sold in 1992, but this rose to nearly 800,000 by 1996, and the Ford had overtaken the combined Chevrolet and GMC pickup sales for the first time in a decade.

Since it was the F-150's first major redesign since 1980, the redesigned truck went on a nation-wide 87-stop tour to Ford plants and the external part suppliers in October, 1995 prior to its release.[7] To build anticipation for the redesigned truck, the 1997 model was released in January 1996 with the first ad campaigns airing during Super Bowl XXX. Because of the radical styling, Ford predicted that traditional truck buyers wouldn't receive the radical and car-like 1997 too well, so it continued to produce and sell the previous 1996 model alongside the redesigned 1997 model for a few months.[8] The regular F-250 (light duty) was basically an F-150 with the same body panels but with heavy duty axles and suspension, along with 7 lug wheels. Additionally, the F-250 Light Duty also offered a load leveling rear suspension system. The F-250 HD (Heavy Duty) was in the same series as the F-350. With the arrival of the all new 1999 "Super Duty" series in early 1998, the standard F-250 ('light duty'), F-250HD (Heavy Duty), & F-350 line was totally dropped and the F-250 (light duty), which was a temporary model from the start, became the "7700" package for the F-150 (noted on the tailgate emblem). 1999–2003 Ford F-150 SuperCab long bed Completely new, more efficient engines were offered beginning in 1997. A 4.2 L OHV V6, based on Ford's 3.8 L Essex V6, replaced the 4.9 L OHV I6, while 4.6 and 5.4 liter SOHC V8s replaced the 5.0 and 5.8 liter OHV V8s, also the 7.5 liter big block V8 was replaced by the 6.8 liter V10 for the super duty models respectively. The 4.6 and 5.4 liter V8s were marketed under the name "Triton" and mark the first use of Ford's Modular Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) engines in the F-Series pickups. A wide variety of body options were available: regular cab and SuperCab, standard or flareside boxes, and short and long beds. A new Lightning was introduced in 1999, and Harley-Davidson and King Ranch versions were also created. In 2001 the SuperCrew cab was introduced with four full-size doors. In 2002, an FX4 model was introduced which came with skid plates,a carbon steel frame, Rancho shock absorbers, and specific 17" aluminum wheels along with more standard features that were optional on XLT. In 2003, a sporty STX trim package was introduced, aimed at younger truck buyers. The STX package featured color keyed front/rear bumpers along with clear lens headlights and integrated round fog lamps. The package also featured chrome step rails, 17" chrome wheels, and a Kenwood Z828 stereo was installed in place of the standard Ford radio. Ford F-150 Flareside   Ford F-150 SVT Lightning   Ford F-150 King Ranch SuperCrew   Ford F-150 Harley Davidson   Ford F-150 with custom grille   1997–1998 Ford F-250   This generation F-150 received an overall "Poor" rating by the IIHS in the frontal offset test,[9] and was ranked the "2nd Worst Performer" behind the 1997–2005 GM U-platform minivans. Sales of the F-150 surged in the tenth generation from 750,000 to over 900,000 in 2001 as the General Motors and Dodge products lagged. Ford's sales dropped, however, for the final years of this generation as the redesigned Dodge trucks were released. The new F-150 was Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year for 1997.[10] The grille was updated in 1999 with minor interior updates as well. The SuperCrew was added to the lineup in 2001. Ford manufactured a limited run of "Heritage" F-150s of this body style in 2004 (as 2004 model years) to finish out production. This truck, with an updated grille, is still available in Mexico as a less-expensive alternative to the current trucks. Ford has found that the cruise control system in many of their trucks could catch fire, because the switch system could corrode over time, overheat and ignite. Ignition was later blamed on spillage from the adjacent master cylinder. On March 5, 2007 Ford recalled 155,000 2003 full-size pickups and full-size SUVs for the defective part. During the previous two years Ford had recalled 5.8 million vehicles in because of the defective cruise control systems in trucks, SUVs and vans. That recall, one of the largest in history, covered vehicles from the 1994–2002 model years.[11] This generation of F-150 was sold in Mexico until the twelfth generation 2010 model was released there.

The side windows also changed to a Kenworth "Daylight Door" and Ford Super Duty-like appearance; dipping towards the front of the door. Initially, only Ford's 4.6 L Triton or new 3-valve 5.4 L 3V Triton V8 engines and four-speed automatic transmissions were offered to the retail public on the new trucks. In 2005, Ford's 4.2 L Essex V6 and manual transmission became available and standard on base models after they were available only for fleet orders for 2004. The F-250 and F-350 Ford Super Duties (on the P3 platform) are a different class (over 8,500 lb (3,900 kg) GVWR) than the regular F-series lineup, although they are still F-series trucks. All F-Series have two large "closed loop" front tow hook design as opposed to conventional open hooks. The F-Series can pull up to 30,000 lb (14,000 kg) with just one hook.[citation needed] For the 2006 model year beginning in December, 2005, a flex-fuel version of the 3-valve 5.4 L Triton V8 became available. For 2007, Ford introduced a complement to the existing FX4 model, the new FX2 Sport package (a 2 wheel drive truck with an appearance package). Ford states a properly equipped 2007 F-150 (Long Wheel Base, 2WD model only) can tow up to 11,000 lb (5,000 kg) maximum and 1800–3050 lb maximum payload. The 2004 F-150 SuperCrews with the FX4 package could pull 4X4 F-250 Super Dutys out of mud with minimal strain. Also the F-150s are able to be a cheap alternative to the more expensive F-250s. Like the F-250, the F-150 could pull 25 ft trailers with only a 5.4 L Triton. This generation F-150 got top safety ratings (5 stars) from the NHSTA in frontal collisions, and not only got a "Good" rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's frontal offset test, but also a Best Pick. The dummy sensors recorded no injuries to any body region. Saleen offers their own OEM version of the F-150, badged as the S331. Additionally, Roush offers an aftermarket version with similar power. Beginning with the second half of the 2007 model year, Ford offered the Saleen forced-induction package on the Harley edition as an OEM option. The F-150 Foose Edition debuted in fall 2007 as a 2008 model. Based on an F-150 FX2 Sport, it uses a Roush-developed powertrain. The supercharged 5.4 L V8 puts out 450 hp (340 kW) and 500 lb·ft (680 N·m) of torque.[12] [edit] Awards, sales accomplishments The new F-150 earned the North American Truck of the Year award for 2004 and was Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year for 2004. It also beat the three-time winning Chevrolet Silverado for Car and Driver magazine's Best Pickup Truck for 2004 and 2005. Additionally, over 939,000 F-Series trucks were sold in 2005, a single-year sales record for trucks.[citation needed] As a popular fleet vehicle, this generation of the F-Series has garnered a number of awards from fleet management professionals. The 2006 F-150 was named Fleet Truck of the Year by Automotive Fleet and Business Fleet magazines,[13] and the 2007 models of the F-150, F-250 and F-350 were chosen Best Fleet Value vehicles in their respective categories by automotive data-analysis firm Vincentric.[14] Winner of the 2006–2007 Golden Icon Award (presented by Travolta Family Entertainment) for "Best Truck".[15] According to Consumer Reports' used car reliability history data, the 2004–2008 F-150 with the 4.2 L V6 engine is the most reliable American pickup truck ever produced in history. It scored a rating of excellent for five straight consecutive years within one body generation, something that domestics had never earned in the past.

Production of the series began in October 2008 at Ford's Kansas City Assembly Plant.[16] The truck features a larger and more flexible interior, an updated three-bar grille, and additional choices of cab styles and trim levels. The chassis includes lighter-weight, high strength steel for better fuel economy and safety and improved payload and towing capacity. Three engines were initially offered with the 2009 redesign: a revised 5.4 L 3-valve Triton V8 that is E85 capable with an output rating of 320 hp (240 kW) and 395 lb·ft (536 N·m) of torque, a 292 hp (218 kW) 4.6 L 3-valve V8, and a 248 hp (185 kW) 4.6 L 2-valve V8. The 3-valve 5.4 and 4.6 liter V8s are mated to Ford's new 6R80E 6-speed automatic transmission while the 4R75E 4-speed automatic transmission used previously is carried over for the 2-valve 4.6 L V8. The 4.2 L OHV V6 engine, which was previously available, has been dropped due to the closure of the Essex engine plant where it was produced. A 4.4L diesel V8 under development has been put on hold. A top-of-the-line Platinum edition F-150 replaced the Lincoln Mark LT truck.[17] However, this trim line is still sold as the Lincoln Mark LT in Mexico. The 2009 Ford F150 features front-seat side impact airbags and Ford's Safety Canopy System for the first and second rows as Head protection in the event of a side impact. It will also feature Ford's exclusive ADVANCETRAC RSC (Roll Stability Control)--an Electronic Stability control and anti-rollover safety feature also available in other Ford vehicles, from the Fusion to the Expedition. Beginning in 2009, manual transmissions will no longer be available in the F-150. Manual transmissions will continue to be available in the F-250/F-350 Super duty pickups. 2009 was the last year when Flareside Box was available, and the last year when the 17" wheels for the FX4 Off-Road were available. In 2010 The only box will be Styleside, and the base wheels for FX4 will be 18". For the 2011 model year, an all-new engine lineup is offered. Two of the engines, a 3.7 L V6 and a 5.0 L V8, are based on the 2011 Ford Mustang engines, and both offer E85 flex-fuel capability. The 6.2 L V8 used in the 2011 Ford Super Duty is available with the F-150 Platinum, Lariat, SVT Raptor, and Harley Davidson editions. Finally, the 3.5 L EcoBoost V6 will be offered in the F-150 starting in early 2011. All engines are paired with a new six-speed automatic transmission.[18] F-150 XLT extended cab F-150 XLT regular cab F-150 Raptor F-150 Harley Davidson Engine Years Power Torque 4.6 L (281 CID) 2V V8 2009–2010 248 hp (185 kW) @ 4750 rpm 294 lb·ft (399 N·m) @ 4000 rpm 4.6 L (281 CID) 3V V8 2009–2010 292 hp (218 kW) @ 5700 rpm 320 lb·ft (430 N·m) @ 4000 rpm 5.4 L (330 CID) 3V V8 2009–2010 310 hp (230 kW) @ 5000 rpm 365 lb·ft (495 N·m) @ 3500 rpm 5.4 L (330 CID) 3V V8 (E85) 2009–2010 320 hp (240 kW) @ 5000 rpm 390 lb·ft (530 N·m) @ 3500 rpm 3.7 L 4V V6 2011 302 hp (225 kW) @ 6500 rpm 276 lb·ft (374 N·m) @ 4000 rpm 3.5 L 4V turbo V6 2011 365 hp (272 kW) @ 5000 rpm 420 lb·ft (570 N·m) @ 2500 rpm 5.0 L (302 CID) 4V V8 2011 360 hp (270 kW) @ 5500 rpm 380 lb·ft (520 N·m) @ 4250 rpm 6.2 L (379 CID) 2V V8 2011 411 hp (306 kW) @ 5500 rpm 434 lb·ft (588 N·m) @ 4500 rpm [19] Ford originally planned to reintroduce the F-100, known internally as P525, as global replacement for Ford Ranger in 2010 or 2011,[20] but the plan was cancelled, instead offering EcoBoost engines for the F-150.[21] [edit] Safety The F-150 comes standard with AdvanceTrac Electronic Stability Control, front and rear row side curtain airbags, and front row torso side airbags. In IIHS crash tests the F150 received the Good overall score in both front and side impact tests and was given the Top Safety Pick award.[22] NHTSA F150 crash test results:[23] Frontal Driver: Frontal Passenger: Side Driver: Side Rear Passenger: 2wd Rollover: 4wd Rollover: [edit] 2011 Ford F-150 EcoBoost V-6 The V-6 Ford F-150 Pickup is a new version for the "F-series" model truck. It has consisted of a 300-400 horsepower engine in various tests for the new truck. Some of these new trucks will have upgraded engines with a "Ecoboost" feature to increase good gas mileage. Ford Motor Company is trying to come out with this new F-150 series pickup truck predicted for 2010 and 2011. "For the first time, ford will offer a V-6 in its popular crew cab model, says F-150 marketing manager Mark Grueber."(White, D1) It will consist of a 300 horsepower V-6 engine as well as a new six-speed transmission. This truck is striving to compete with the V-8 Ford model trucks to attract more buyers to a truck that has a smaller, more efficient engine with similar power to the V-8 model. Predicted for early 2011, more modifications will be added to the F-150 series. A 3.5 liter "Ecoboost" V-6 engine that will have the capability of towing a 11,300 pound trailer and the truck will get up to 20 percent better fuel economy compared to the V-8 engines that are currently installed into the F-150 pickup. These smaller engines will have reasonable power related to the V-8 engine. Ford is trying to produce these new vehicles to keep up with the changing fuel-efficient economy. The company wants to sell a truck that is fit for customers who expect the aggressive V-8 F-150 Pickup; although, leave out the V-8 and replace it with the V-6. Ford maufacturers will have to make huge efforts towards the production in these new truck engines to make it seem as if a customer were driving around in a fuel-efficient, full-sized, V-8 pickup.[1] "While there's little exterior changes to hint at the twin-turbocharged powerplant under the hood, the cut in the lower air dam clearly shows an intercooler mounted in front of the radiator. The direct-injected, turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 is rumored to be rated at around 400 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque, enough to keep up with the standard 6.2-liter V8's 411 hp and 434 lb.-ft. of twist, while returning fuel economy somewhere in the range of 23 mpg on the highway. Sales are expected to begin later this year or in early 2011, and it's safe to assume that the EcoBoosted F-150 will carry a slight price premium over its V8-powered counterpart."(Lavrinc)[2] [edit] SVT Raptor Main article: Ford F-150 SVT Raptor The F-150 SVT Raptor launched in 2010 as a dedicated off-roader. It is powered by a 5.4L (330 CID) engine, with a 6.2L option. The 6.2L (379 CID) engine has 411 horsepower (306 kW) and 434 ft·lbf (588 N·m) of torque.[19] The suggested retail price is $3000 over the 5.4L model. A six-speed automatic is standard.[24] It has Fox Racing Shox internal bypass shocks with external reservoirs which allows for 11" of suspension travel in front, and 13" in the rear. It will come standard with 35" BFG All Terrain tires, and a 4.10 ratio locking limited slip rear axle. Also, it will be available in solid black, white, blue, and orange with a "digital mud" decal scheme as an option.[25] In August 2010, Ford announced the 2011 SVT Raptor would be powered exclusively with the 6.2L V8 as the only engine choice [26]. The race version, F-150 SVT Raptor R, was also built for the Baja 1000 races. It uses a 6.2 L engine rated at 500 hp.[27] The first production Raptor, orange with the digital mud graphic, sold at an auction for $130,000. Ford donated all proceeds above the MSRP to charity. [edit] 2010 Harley-Davidson F-150 On February 10, 2009 at the Chicago Auto Show, the latest edition of the F-150 was introduced. Adopting many luxury features of the Platinum Edition, this Harley went one step further by providing leather seating surfaces derived from authentic Harley biker-jacket materials, as well as the requisite exhaust tones and power to reach a top speed of 115 miles per hour (185 km/h).[28] [edit] F-150 Platinum Ford ceased sales of the Lincoln Mark LT in the United States and Canada after the 2008 model year.[29] In its place beginning in the 2010 model year, Ford created an upper-end trim of the 2009 F-150 called F-150 Platinum. Sales continued in Mexico, because the Ford F-150 was sold as the Ford Lobo until the 2010 model was released there. [edit] Concepts At the 2008 SEMA show, four 2009 Ford F-150s were unveiled: the F-150 Heavy Duty DEWALT Contractor, the FX-4 by X-Treme Toyz, the F-150 by Street Scene Equipment, and the Hi-Pa Drive F-150. The Heavy Duty DEWALT Contractor was built in a DeWalt theme. The FX-4, also called Fahrenheit F-150, was built for outdoor lifestyle enthusiasts. The Street Scene Equipment version is a lowered truck built with performance and style. The Hi-Pa Drive F-150 was powered by 4 electric in-wheel motors rated over 480 hp (360 kW) and over 375 ft·lbf (508 N·m) torque combined.[30] [edit] Electric/Hybrid Vehicles Ford will supply Smith Electric Vehicles with a range of its Ford F-Series commercial vehicles as the chassis for Smith's US-specific vehicles. The first of these vehicles is the Faraday mark II, built using the Ford F-650 chassis cab, with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of up to 13,000 kg (29,000 lb). It manufactures the first of this product in the second half of 2008.[31] Hybrid Electric Vehicle Technologies (HEVT), Inc.[32] unveiled a plug-in hybrid prototype at 2008 Plug-In Conference and Exposition.[33] Ford and PML Flightlink worked together to produce the Hi-Pa Drive Ford F150 pickup prototype vehicle[34] which was unveiled at the SEMA show 2008. [edit] Motorsports In 2008, Ford announced its intention to enter Baja 1000 race class 8 race. The race team consisted driver of record Steve Oligos and co-drivers Randy Merritt, Greg Foutz and Bud Brutsman, competing in class eight for moderately modified full-size pickup trucks.[35] The vehicle was built in collaboration between the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT), Ford Racing, and Foutz Motorsports Inc. Ford F-150 SVT Raptor R completed the 2008 41st Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 race in 25:28:10,[36] or 3rd rank within the class.[37] In Best In The Desert race series, F150 SVT Raptor R completed the "Terrible's 250" race in overall 2nd place in Class 8000.[38] [edit] Awards and recognition The Ford F-150 has won numerous awards; In 2009 alone, it received:[39] Motor Trend 2009 Truck of the Year Award 2009 Best Redesigned Vehicle from Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com Top honors as "Truck of Texas" as well as "Best Luxury Pickup" for the 2009 F-150 King Ranch from Texas Auto Writers Association "Best Overall Half-Ton Pickup" from PickupTrucks.com "Automotive Excellence" award in the Workhorse Category from Popular Mechanics "Top Safety Pick" from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for its standard safety technology: Safety Canopy side curtain air bags and AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control "Residual Value" award from Automotive Leasing Guide (ALG) for retaining the highest percentage of its original price among 2009 full-size light duty pickups at the end of a conventional three-year lease, based on ALG projections Motor Trend's Truck Trend Top 5 Trucks from Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) for 2009 Ford F-150 Heavy Duty DeWalt Contractor Concept "Accessory-Friendly Truck" Design Award from SEMA [edit] Yearly American sales Calendar Year Total American sales 1999[40] 869,001 2000 876,716 2001 823,681 2002[41] 813,701 2003 845,586 2004[42] 939,511 2005 901,463 2006[43] 796,039 2007 690,589 2008[44] 515,513 2009[45] 413,625 [edit] Notes This 1955 Australian F-100 Freighter had special high side panels, perhaps unique to Australia. Note RHD. Ford also manufactures F-Series medium and heavy-duty trucks alongside the F-150, F-250, and F-350s.(F-450, F-550, F-650, F-750). School bus chassis versions are sold as B-Series trucks. The 1961–1965 Ford Falcon Econoline flat nose pickup trucks and 1961–present vans are E-Series. Parcel delivery vans are P-Series. Big tractor trailer trucks are L-Series. There was also a class 8 cab over called the W-Series in the 60s-70s, replaced by the CL-Series in 1977. In Argentina and Brazil, the gasoline engines are often converted to also run with alternative fuels, E-96h (Brazilian-spec ethanol) and CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). Biodiesel also is used in diesel engines. Ford also built Right-hand drive versions of the F-Series in Brazil for export to countries that drive on the left side of the road, like the United Kingdom and Australia. Prior to the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks, Ford offered F-700, F-800 and F-900 medium-duty trucks that retained the door and aft cab (A-pillar back) style and structure from the previous generation F-Series, along with the dash and instrument cluster (from early 1980s models). Current models are based on the International 4000 Series chassis with a Ford Super Duty cab. An F-8000 was also produced based on the Ford Cargo cab-over range, which was similar to the 2006 and newer Ford LCF ("Low Cab Forward"). In Mexico the 1997–2004 style F-150 is still built and sold with the F-150 having a 4.2L V6 and the F-250 (with the same styling, interior, etc.) having a 4.6L V8. The US-market F-150 is sold as the Ford Lobo. Despite its unpopularity in the US, the Lincoln Mark LT (version of the US-market F-150) continues to be sold in Mexico.

Ford Super Duty Manufacturer Ford Motor Company Also called Ford Western (in some Asian countries) Model year(s) 1999–present Predecessor Ford F-250/350 Class Full-size pickup truck Layout Front engine, rear-wheel drive / four-wheel drive The Ford Super Duty is a line of commercial pickup trucks (over 8,500 lb (3,900 kg) GVWR) introduced in 1998[citation needed] for the 1999 model year. The F-250 to F-550 Super Duties are assembled at the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Kentucky. The F-650 and F-750 Super Duties are assembled at the Blue Diamond Truck plant in Mexico. The Super Duty trucks are larger, heavier built commercial/industrial series pickup trucks with heavier-duty body-on-frame steel ladder frames, axles, springs, brakes, transmissions, more powerful engines, and all other heavier/bigger components (with much higher payload and towing capacities) than the older traditional equivalent F-250, F-250HD (Heavy Duty), and F-350 Ford truck lines. The two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive model frames are the same in the F-250 and F-350 series, making conversion from a two-wheel drive model to a four-wheel drive model less difficult than in other truck models. This is because the '99 model year of the F-series has all the bolt holes in the frame for both two-wheel and four-wheel drive precut by the manufacturer.

The F-350 was not available for 1998, while the F-250 was available that year with the F-150's body. By using two separate but related platforms for F-Series trucks, the inevitable compromises inherent in offering a wide range of load-carrying capacities were avoided. The main competition, General Motors, followed suit for the 2001 model year, when the Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD were introduced. These trucks were styled distinctly different for the first time from the smaller F-150 half-ton pickups. They did not share components with the F-150 platform at all (excepting V-8 gas engines), even though it was still considered an F-series truck. Instead of the aero look, it was more boldly angular with a raised hood and lowered fenders, somewhat like fender / hood medium truck style pioneered by the 1994 Dodge Ram pickup. As an industry first, 2 big massive complete ring-style front tow hooks were included. The side windows went lower forward in the door like a commercial medium to heavy duty truck (similar to a Kenworth "Daylight Door"), and the grille was also narrower and tall as if from a larger truck, and in 2001, optional manual telescoping Trailer Tow (TT) mirrors became available. 2002 Ford F-250 with 20-foot (6.1 m) enclosed trailer for four motorcycles There were three cab options: Standard (2-3 passengers) with two doors, SuperCab (5-6 passengers) with 2 reverse-opening small rear doors (4 doors), and the crew cab with 4 full doors and seats for 4-6 people. The Super and Crew cabs came with 6 ¾-foot and 8-foot (2.4 m) full-size bed options, but the Standard cab was only available with the 8' bed. The F-250 Super Duty would also be the base platform for the short-lived Ford Excursion which was the only passenger SUV larger than the Chevrolet Suburban and its twin, the GMC Yukon XL. The Ford F-250 and related F-4000 were built in Brazil from 2000 to 2006. Brazilian trucks were widely exported to Australia(F-250), South Africa and Argentina (where they were sold as the F-100).[1] [edit] Engines The Super Duty had several available engines. A 2-valve per cylinder 5.4 L Modular V8 with 255 horsepower (190 kW) and 350 foot-pounds force (470 N·m) of torque was standard, while the 2-valve per cylinder 6.8 L Modular V10 with 310 horsepower (230 kW) and 425 ft·lbf (576 N·m) of torque was an option. The 7.3 L Power Stroke turbodiesel with 235 horsepower (175 kW) and 500 foot-pounds force (680 N·m)of torque from 1999 to 2000 and upped to 250 hp (190 kW) and 500 ft·lbf (680 N·m) of torque in 2001 to 2002 trucks equipped with an automatic transmission or 275 hp (205 kW) and 520 ft·lbf (710 N·m) of torque for trucks equipped with a manual transmission. [edit] 6.0 Power Stroke The 6.0 L Power Stroke with a variable-vane turbo was phased in starting in 2003; this engine produced 325 horsepower (242 kW) and 560 foot-pounds force (760 N·m) of torque. The 6.0 L 32-valve pushrod-actuated Power Stroke single-turbo diesel was modified in 2005, boosting torque to 570 ft·lbf (770 N·m), but power remained the same as the previous version with 325 horsepower (242 kW). Due to very high warranty exposure and over 500 vehicle full buybacks (due to the Barneys Law), late 2006 was the last of the 6.0 L diesels. The major problem with the Navistar diesel engines is due to damage resulting from defective fuel injectors. There were also minor problems resulting from the unreliable factory variable-vane turbocharger, EGR valve carbon deposit clogging/sticking, defective Exhaust Pressure (EP) sensor/connector, extensive PCM recalibrations, fuel injector harness chafing/crushing, general engine stalling/bucking, and inability to conform to the new federal diesel emissions standards of January 1, 2007. [edit] Transmissions Four transmissions were available. A standard 5-speed manual for gasoline engines, a standard 6-speed manual for diesel engines, an optional 4R100 4-speed automatic for gas or diesel, and a 5-speed automatic for the 6.0 diesels. Trucks with the TorqShift 5-speed automatic are rated at exactly 1,000 lb (450 kg) higher towing capacity than trucks with the standard 6-speed manual transmission. [edit] Torqshift 5R110 The Torqshift 5-speed 5R110 automatic transmission replaced the 4-speed in the 2003 model year truck with 6.0 L diesel engine. The TorqShift design in fact has six forward ratios, but only five are advertised, with the 'hidden' gear only used in extreme cold weather. The TorqShift 1st to 5th gear ratios are 3.11, 2.22, 1.55, 1.00, and 0.71:1. It also utilizes an alternate 4th gear, overdrive on 2nd gear of the 3 speed automatic component (0.72 x 1.55), that is 1.10:1 that is used under cold start conditions to aid engine and transmission warm up. On the TorqShift, once the Tow/Haul mode is activated it can help increase a driver's control when towing large loads up and down steep grades and automatically minimizes shifts and maximizes available torque. Upon descent, the Tow/Haul mode utilizes engine braking to help extend brake life and improve driver control. An adaptive shift function monitors the TorqShift's performance over its lifetime, and adjusts shift pressures in real time to assure consistent shift feel and compensate for wear. For ease of maintenance, the TorqShift's oil filter is a spin-off style, mounted on the passenger-side exterior of the transmission. Also the TorqShift's larger fluid lines and a larger transmission oil cooler help to assure cooler operating temperatures, even under the most demanding conditions. 4R100 Gear 1 2 3 4 R Ratio 2.71:1 1.54:1 1:1 0.71:1 2.88:1 5R110 Gear 1 2 3 4 5 R Ratio 3.11:1 2.22:1 1.55 1:1 0.71:1 2.88:1 5 Speed Manual Gear 1 2 3 4 5 R Ratio 5.72:1 2.94:1 1.61 1:1 0.76:1 5.24:1 ZF S6-650 transmission Gear L 1 2 3 4 5 R Ratio 5.79:1 3.30:1 2.10 1.30 1:1 0.72:1 5.24:1 [edit] Transfer Case and 4x4 On 4x4 models there still is a choice of a BorgWarner manual gear-driven transfer case floor shifter with manual front locking hubs or Electronic-Shift-On-the-Fly (ESOF, a $185 option over the manual) dash knob with vacuum activated automatic and (in case of failure) manual override front hubs. The optional FX4 models are basically a standard 4x4 with an Off Road package that includes a few extras like upgraded heavy duty Rancho shocks, limited-slip rear differential, added skid plates for the fuel tank and transfer case, and two "FX4" decals on both back bed-sides instead of the standard "4x4". For all 4x4 models, the 2-speed transfer case 4x4-LOW range has a gear reduction of 2.72:1. The 2005 F-250 Super Duty has an unusually large number of Complaints[2] referring to a "Death Wobble" in the front suspension. An investigation has pointed out that tire pressure is very critical although many complaints have posted that correct tire pressure was maintained. Aftermarket track bar kits can mitigate these effects and improve the ride. [edit] Front and Rear Suspension The front suspension on 4x4's use a solid front (monobeam) Dana 50 and Dana 60 axles on the F-250 and F-350 pickups. A Dana 60 is used on the F-450 and F-550's until the 2005. The 2005-2007 models use a Dana Super 60. Leaf springs eventually got switched to coils and a sway bar was added. The front suspension on 4x2 models is independent twin I-beam with coil springs on the F-250 and F-350 pickups. While a solid axle is used on F-450 and F-550 trucks. The rear suspension on all F-250 models and some F-350 models use a 10.5-inch (270 mm) Sterling 10.5 axle 35-spline axle with choices of conventional or limited-slip differentials in 3.73, 4.10, and 4.30:1 ratios. While the other F-350 models use a Dana 80. All models have heavy duty 3" wide leaf springs and staggered shock absorbers. A standard stabilizer bar is included on DRW (dual rear wheel) models. An optional slide-in camper certification package with heavier springs and an optional stabilizer bar package are available on SRW (single rear wheel) models. The rear suspension on F-450 trucks used Dana 80 axles while F-550 models used a Dana 135 until 2005 models. 2005-2007 models use a Dana S 110 axle. Ford F-350 Dually Ford F-550 crew cab pick up 1999–2004 Ford F-550 cutaway [edit] Facelift (2005–2007) File:Ford F-350 King Ranch—09-12-2010.jpg 2005–2007 Ford F-350 King Ranch crew cab The Super Duty line was restyled for 2005. Exterior styling was given a minor update with a new front end, however, with this facelift came significant changes both in mechanics and options offered. Major changes over the previous generation of Super Duties includes increased payload (GVWR) and towing (GCWR) capacities, a new taller front grille, revised interior, standard locking tailgate, 10-17% thicker partially boxed frame, alternator with a higher current capacity, larger-than-before 4-wheel disc brakes (13.66-in front and 13.39 in (340 mm) rear rotors) with new two-piston calipers, revised engines, new automatic transmission options, a new optional built-into-dash Ford TowCommand TBC (Trailer Brake Controller) that is fully integrated with the truck's PCM (Powertrain Control Module) and ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), optional dashboard-integrated auxiliary "upfitter" switches (for adding off road lights, winches, snow plows, etc.), and an optional drivers side glove compartment. The two previous gas engines were upgraded from 2 valve per cylinder to 3 valve (2 intake and 1 exhaust) per cylinder designs. The standard 5.4 L V8 produces 300 horsepower (220 kW) and 365 foot-pounds force (495 N·m) of torque, and the optional 6.8 L V10 produces 362 hp (270 kW) and 457 ft·lbf (620 N·m). Ford's "Fail-Safe Cooling System" is designed to protect the engine due to loss of coolant. If the engine overheats, it will automatically switch from 8/10 cylinder (depending on V8 or V10 engine) operation to alternating 4/5 cylinder (depending on V8 or V10 engine) operation. Because there is now 50% less hot combustion, the engine will operate cooler. The vehicle will continue to operate, but with very limited engine power. The now so-called 'dead' cylinders also act like an air pump to cool the engine down even more. This system allows the driver to travel a short distance to obtain service or to reach a repair facility. The distance that can be traveled depends upon vehicle load, outside temperature, and current road conditions. Two transmissions were made available for the redesigned 2005-2007 models. The standard M6OD 6-speed manual overdrive and the optional heavy duty TorqShift 5R110W 5-speed automatic overdrive with Tow/Haul mode which replaced the 4-speed 4R100 used in the first generation. Ford offers a PTO (power take-off) which provides direct engine power for accessory equipment without the expense and installation time of separate, independently mounted electric motors or other power sources. The standard equipment 6-speed manual transmission comes with an integrated PTO. The optional TorqShift 5-speed automatic transmission can be equipped with an integrated PTO provision (which automatically locks the torque converter providing power to the PTO gear when the operator turns on the PTO switch). Fuel tank capacities are 38 U.S. gallons in the 8' long bed models, and 29 U.S. gallons in the 6.75' short bed models. Depending on models the optional trailer tow hitch receiver comes with a 2" or 2.5" Class V receiver and 4- and/or 7-pin wiring harness in either 12,500 or 15,000 lb (6,800 kg). All Super Duties include factory installed external oil and transmission coolers. Depending on model and options, the empty title curb weight is 6,000-8,000 lb. Approximate payload capacities are 3,000 lb (1,400 kg) for the F-250, 4,000 lb (1,800 kg) for the F-350 with single rear wheels, and 5,800 lb (2,600 kg) for the F-350 with dual rear wheels. This generation of Super Duties has exactly double the payload capacity as compared to the older traditional (non-Super Duty) F-250 and F-350 trucks. By direct American comparison to the F-250 SD the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD/GMC Sierra 2500HD is rated at 2,600 lb (1,200 kg) max and the Dodge Ram 2500 Heavy Duty is rated at only 2,100 lb (950 kg) max payload capacity. Approximate towing capacity for the F-350 Super Duty is 19,200 lb (8,700 kg) max. By direct American comparison Dodge Ram 3500 Heavy Duty is rated at 16,400 lb (7,400 kg) max and Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra 3500HD is at 16,500 lb (7,500 kg) max.

However, the truck didn't go on the market until January 2007. The vehicle had its first official showing at the Texas State Fair in 2006. Located near the same dash area as the last generation (but slightly to the right and more directly below the radio), this generation of Super Duty has the same Ford TowCommand TBC (Trailer Brake Controller) and 4 AUX Upfitter switches as the last generation set-up. There is an optional concealed slide-out step and swing-up hand grab bar in the rear tailgate for easy access. Ford introduces its all new optional "Rapid-Heat Supplemental Cab Heater," only available on Super Duty trucks with the Diesel engine and TorqShift automatic transmission. In the winter, it quickly raises the cabin temperature to a comfortable level until the engine is warm enough to handle the job. [edit] Trim levels This 2nd generation of Super Duty includes the F-250 Super Duty (starting at $22,380), F-350 Super Duty (starting at $24,025), and the all new F-450 Super Duty (starting at $39,205). The F-250 and F-350 Super Duty basically has the same payload and towing specs as the last generation. The model lineup for the 2010 F-250 and F-350 Super Duty is the XL (starting at $25,300), XLT (starting at $28,845), Lariat (starting at $36,420), Cabela's (starting at $42,655), King Ranch (starting at $42,955), and Harley-Davidson (starting at $56,925). The model lineup for the F-450 Super Duty is the XL (starting at $44,145), XLT (starting at $49,525), Lariat (starting at $52,965), King Ranch (starting at $56.955), and the Harley Davidson (starting at $62,625) The FX4 model, which was once just an optional Off Road 4x4 package that could be added to any model in the lineup, is replaced by the 4x4 Off Road Package. The FX4 became a model of its own. It still had the same specs as the previous generation but with more of a sporty trim package. The FX4 model has been discontinued for the 2010 model year and has been reverted to an optional Off Road 4X4 package. [edit] Engines The same 2 gas engines are carried over and rated exactly the same from the 2nd generation. The 3-valve 5,408 cc (5.408 L; 330.0 cu in) V8 SOHC is standard. The 3-valve 6,802 cc (6.802 L; 415.1 cu in) V10 SOHC is still a $699 option over the 5.4L V8.[4] [edit] 6.4L Power Stroke The 4-valve Navistar 6.4 L (6400 cc, 390.5 cu in) V8 OHV Power Stroke twin-turbo diesel (PSD) engine (350 hp and 682TQ) was the diesel engine option until it was replaced in the 2011 model year with a Ford designed 6.7L diesel engine. It was a $6,895 option over the 5,408 cc (5.408 L; 330.0 cu in) V8. [edit] F-450 Some unique points to highlight of the all new F-450 with a regular production pickup bed, which was only offered as a chassis cab before. It has 2 available axle ratios of 4.30 and 4.88:1. The F-450 Super Duty with the optional 'High Capacity Trailer Tow Package' increases the GCWR (Gross combined weight rating) from 26,000 to 33,000 lb (15,000 kg). Maximum payload is 6,120 lb (2,780 kg). Maximum towing is 24,500 lb (11,100 kg). It comes standard with Crew Cab, 8-foot (2.4 m) long bed, DRW (Dual Rear Wheels), Limited Slip rear axle, 10-lug 19.5-inch (500 mm) wheels, Trailer Tow package, and the TowCommand TBC (Trailer Brake Controller). The only engine offered in the F-450 Super Duty will be the all new 6.4 L V8 Power Stroke twin-turbo diesel. The F-450 is equipped with a standard 6-speed manual or optional 5-speed TorqShift automatic transmission. 2008 Ford F-250 FX4 crew cab Ford F-250 Super Duty Harley-Davidson crew cab 2008 Ford F-450 crew cab Ford F-550 Super Duty [edit] 2011 The Super Duty line received a large exterior upgrade that includes a new, bigger front fascia. Its engines were also upgraded to better compete with the new Silverado HD and Ram HD. [edit] Engines The 2011 Ford Super Duty is available with either a gas or diesel engine. The gas option is an E85-capable 6.2 L 2-valve SOHC V8, which puts out 385 horsepower (287 kW) and 405 pound-feet (549 N·m) of torque. The diesel is the new 6.7 L Power Stroke V8, producing 390 hp (291 kW) and 735 lb·ft (997 N·m) of torque.[6] The new engine has been completely designed and manufactured by Ford, unlike previous models which were sourced from Navistar. Shortly after the unveiling of the 6.7 L Power Stroke V8, GM unveiled the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 3500HD with Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8, making 397 hp (296 kW) and 765 lb·ft (1,037 N·m) of torque. Ford quickly responded by boosting the output of the Power Stroke just months after its initial release, to 400 horsepower (298 kW) and 800 lb·ft (1,100 N·m) of torque. For customers who purchased a Super Duty with the original Power Stroke V8, Ford offered a free software upgrade at dealerships to the new level of output.[7] When equipped with the 6.7 L Power Stroke the F450 is able to tow some 24,400 pounds (11,100 kg) and has a maximum payload of 4,920 pounds (2,230 kg). The F350 has 21,600 pounds (9,800 kg) of towing capacity and 6,520 pounds (2,960 kg) of payload. Each engine is mated to a 6R140 heavy-duty TorqShift six-speed automatic transmission.[8] [edit] See also Plasan Sand Cat Ford P platform, code name P356 Ford F-Series Ford F-650 Plasan Sand Cat, armored vehicle based on shortened F-350 [edit] References ^ [1] 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4x4 Pickup: Big Is Beautiful ^ "Complaints". nhtsa.gov. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/complaints/.
