LEGENDARY STATUS
Ford’s SuperDuty pickup checks all the boxes in the heavy duty pickup category: tough, smart and extremely capable. It’s first-in-class high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy truck body and box resist rust and offer improved dent-and-ding resistance compared to the previous generation. SuperDuty also has a fully boxed frame for added strength. Ford ensures the SuperDuty line is designed to meet the most demanding customer requirements after it went through 12 million miles worth of Built Ford Tough testing prior to its launch in 2017. Maneuvering the larger truck has also become easier due to seven available cameras, including a 360-degree camera with split-view display and customer-placed trailer camera straight from the factory. Outstanding towing, payload and a powertrain lineup designed to deliver more combined horsepower and torque are just the icing on the cake.
