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.

Detroit Three autoworkers could get huge bonuses

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

For a long time, being a line worker for one of the Detroit Three has meant living with an uncertain future. With the health of American automakers on the rise, though, things are also starting to look up for the men and women building the cars. The latest sign that things aren't bad? Big profit-sharing checks.
According to The Detroit News, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler could end up paying over $800 million to 130,000 workers as part of a profit-sharing plan. According to The News, the economic impact of these profits in Michigan alone could exceed $400 million, besting the NFL's Super Bowl, MLB's All-Star Game and the NHL's Winter Classic for their economic impact.
This is the third straight year the Detroit Three have issued profit-sharing checks to UAW employees, and for many workers, the checks are as close as they'll get to a raise, due to the most recent contract between the union and the manufacturers. On average, employees at GM and Ford receive $1 for every $1 million in North American (not just the US) pre-tax profits. Chrysler, meanwhile, gets a similar deal, although the Auburn Hills-based company calculates profit sharing using 85 percent of the brand's global profits.

2015 Ford S-Max adds all-wheel drive, adaptive steering

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

The Blue Oval's 'One Ford' mantra has seen rapid commonization of the automaker's products across markets, but North America still has to look from afar at most of the company's Max-branded people movers, including this new S-Max. That's a bit of a shame - we like the space efficiency and above-average driving dynamics of the C-Max models we do get, but seeing this updated seven-seat small minivan makes us want the One Ford initiative to extend even further.
The new model's changes include an updated powertrain range including a 1.5-liter EcoBoost four with 158 horsepower, and a larger, 237-horsepower, 2.0-liter model, along with a pair of revised lower-emissions 2.0-liter diesels. The big news, however, is the advent of available all-wheel drive, something that hasn't been offered since the S-Max first went on sale back in 2006.
On the technology front, the S-Max is the first European model to receive Ford Adaptive Steering, a variable-ratio technology we recently sampled in a prototype Fusion that is expected to go into production on the next-generation Edge. The S-Max also receives a new aluminum-intensive integral link rear suspension, packaged to continue to fit up to 32 different seating combinations. Safety equipment is always a prime concern in kinschleppers like the S-Max, and to that end, this new model receives pre-collision assist technology and LED headlamps.

Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting

Tue, 13 May 2014

It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
