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.

Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.

Ford recalls Explorer and Lincoln MKC for fire hazard

Thu, Mar 31 2016

The Basics: Ford will recall 5,536 examples of the 2016 Explorer and 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC. The Explorers have build dates between October 20, 2014, and January 28, 2016, at the Chicago Assembly Plant. The MKCs are from between November 25, 2013, and January 25, 2016, at the Louisville Assembly Plant. In total, there are 3,129 total affected examples of the 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2,407 examples of the 2016 Ford Explorer. Of these, 1,543 are in the US and 3,993 are in Canada. The Problem: The combination of the engine block design and the block heater in these vehicles can cause the part to overheat when plugged in. Injuries/Deaths: None reported, but there are two cases of underhood fires in Canada. If you own one: Ford will begin notifying owners during the week of May 16, company spokesperson John Cangany tells Autoblog. Related Video: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles to replace engine block heaters Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 5,500 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles to remove the heaters and replace them with an updated design. The engine block design, coupled with the particular block heater installed in these vehicles, causes the unit to be susceptible to overheating when the vehicle is parked and the block heater is plugged in –increasing the risk of an underhood fire. Ford is aware of two reports of underhood fires in Canada, but is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this issue. Affected vehicles include certain 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC vehicles built at Louisville Assembly Plant, Nov. 25, 2013 through Jan. 25, 2016 and certain 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Oct. 20, 2014 through Jan. 28, 2016. There are 5,536 vehicles affected by the issue, including 3,129 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2,407 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles, with 1,543 of the affected vehicles in the United States and federalized territories and 3,993 in Canada. Dealers will remove and replace the engine block heater with an updated design and, if needed, replace the cord at no cost to the customer.
