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.

NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights

Sat, Aug 15 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into reports of suddenly failing headlights on 517,945 examples of the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. The government started looking into this problem in April when the North Carolina Consumers Council filed a defect petition with the agency. Now, the inquiry has moved to the next step. According to NHTSA's documentation (as a PDF), it examined its own database and worked with Ford to come up with a total of 3,609 complaints of the front lighting control module suddenly failing. When this happens, drivers lose the low-beam headlights, but the high-beams can be used by holding the stalk. Sometimes turning the switch off and on fixes the issue. Additionally, there are 15 allegations of crashes, and one reported shoulder injury. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged defect" and don't necessarily lead to a recall. NHTSA looked into this problem once before in 2008 and 2009 and decided that a recall wasn't necessary. Ford also extended the warranty on the front lighting control module for these vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlights Date Investigation Opened: AUG 10, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15028 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: After receiving a defect petition (DP15002) concerning the loss of headlights and other exterior lighting in model year (MY) 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 605 reports (for all submission dates) alleging headlight failure. The complaints indicate failures of both low beam headlights typically while driving, a defect condition that was evaluated under a prior ODI investigation (PE08066). Most consumer VOQs indicate that the headlights failed suddenly and without warning leaving the driver with no forward lighting, however some report the headlights flickered or dimmed prior to turning off. In some cases drivers were able to turn the headlights back on after a period of time while others reported the headlights would not come back on at all.

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort

Fri, 24 May 2013

Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.

Generation Z prefers Ford, wants better fuel efficiency

Mon, Mar 2 2015

Fear not the future, dear green-car enthusiast. For the youngest drivers like good gas mileage. And they don't really like SUVs or trucks. Breathe easier. About 80 percent of drivers ages 16 to 21, part of what's known as 'Generation Z,' prefer cars more than any other type of larger light-duty vehicle, with about half of that group preferring compact cars, The Detroit News says, citing data company MaritzCX. That company polled about 1,100 prospective young car buyers and found them to put a priority on fuel economy because that group is... well, cheap. To put that demographic's vehicle choice into perspective, just a third of light-duty vehicles sold in the US last year were cars, while the rest were SUVs and trucks. So the future is bright, and possibly devoid of some of the smog we're now seeing. Meanwhile, Ford is the most popular brand among younger drivers, again reflecting that company's more recent emphasis on hybrids, plug-ins and high-fuel-economy gas-burning engines. Ford's US green car sales fell 1.4 percent last year to about 86,500 units (falling C-Max Hybrid demand pulled the American automaker's numbers down), so we'd think that this is very welcome news for the Blue Oval.
