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.

Swedish car mag says Ford Mondeo is dangerously, illegally overweight [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Sweden's Teknikens Varld has a reputation for being very persnickety when it comes to auto safety testing, and its latest catch is the Mondeo Titanium Estate 2.0 TDCi 150 bhp S6 MPS (basically a station wagon variant of the Fusion). In addition to the model's mile-long name, it has another problem according to the Swedes, because its weight on the scales does not equal the official numbers for the vehicle. Teknikens Varld claims the wagon is dangerously overweight because it weighs in 4,145 pounds, while Ford officially lists its weight at 3,530 pounds. That 615-pound disparity means that if a family loads it to what they think is the model's gross vehicle weight, it will actually be too heavy, and therefore illegal to drive in Sweden. According to the magazine, when it tried doing this, the rear wheels scraped against the wells, and the estate failed the mag's legendary moose test. However, at 220 pounds over the limit, it passed the test. When reached for comment by Autoblog, Jay Ward, Senior Manager at Ford of Europe Product Communications, explained the reason for the deviation between the official numbers and the magazine's test: "We are aware of this, but this is not an issue that relates specifically to the safety of the Mondeo, but is in fact related to the way in which the cars are tested by the authorities. We provided an Ambiente model for the testing but the car that featured in the magazine test was a Titanium model which has a different weight. We are in discussion with the Swedish Transport Agency to change the framework so the real weight of the Titanium model is reported instead of the Ambiente model which will resolve the issue." Teknikens Varld is well-known for calling out automakers for perceived transgressions. Most recently it leveled criticisms against the all-wheel drive system in the Honda CR-V, and both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Porsche Macan failed its moose test.

Mondeo weighs 279 kg more than Ford claims. With big load (ie family plus luggage) the car therefore becomes illegal to drive.

Gulf-liveried Ford GT40 takes triumphant lap of the track

Sat, Apr 18 2015

Ford is heavily rumored to return to Le Mans in 2016 with the latest GT for the 50th anniversary of the GT40's first victory there. Even if the new model doesn't come back to the track, it's worth commemorating this classic racer's accomplishments, and watching one lap Miller Motorsports Park is a perfect opportunity to do that. This is almost too short of a video for the great cinematography on display. The camera floats over the curves of a Gulf-liveried GT40, while text and archival interviews tell the car's story. Then, it's finally time for the engine to fire up and get on track. The racecar highlighted here is quite fascinating, too. It started competing as a GT40-based Mirage in 1967 with the famous orange and blue color scheme and was converted fully to a Ford in '68, according to Miller Motorsports Park. In 1970 Steve McQueen bought this one to be the camera car in Le Mans, and it has been part of the Larry H. Miller Total Performance Museum since 2012. This clip is actually a promotion for a website called Inside Sales, but with the impressive production values, it's easy to imagine this as the teaser trailer for Ford's possible return to Le Mans, as well.

1969 Ford GT40 Mk III found roaming the halls in Geneva

Wed, Mar 4 2015

The halls of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show are filled with all manner of exotic racing machinery, from the likes Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus to McLaren. But there's one peculiar bit of history tucked away that we thought you'd be equally interested to see: a 1969 Ford GT40 Mk III. One of only seven known to be built, this Mk III coupe was intended as a road-going alternative to earlier racing-bred GT40 models, like the original Mk I and 427-cubic-inch, Le Mans-dominating Mk II. Due to its street-legal intentions, the Ford GT40 Mk III boasted revised bodywork that allowed for some luggage and new headlights, along with a redesigned interior with left-hand-drive and a shifter in the normal, center position. The Mk III wasn't very popular when it was new in the 1960s, in part because it looked different from other GT40 models and because it was pretty expensive, but that just means it's an awfully rare gem today. Take a look at the piece of history in our high-res image gallery above.
