The Ford F-350 at Ford Lakeside, might be what some would say an expensive truck, but it compares in price to the Honda Ridge Liner. This F-350 comes with two available engine options. You can choose from either the 316 horsepower, 6.2 liter v-8, or the 400 horsepower, 6.7 liter v-8 diesel. While its horsepower is much more than what you would find in the Nissan Titan found, every bit of it is worth it. You can also choose to go with a 6-speed automatic with over drive transmission, or you can choose the automatic manual transmission. The F-350 has outstanding levels of diesel torque available at highway speeds and at low RPM's. With the 6.2 liter v-8 gasoline engine, it doesn't feel as powerful to handle big increases in towing and hauling, almost like trying to haul heavy equipment with an Acura Suv. This F-350 has the best driver information system among all full size trucks, and has excellent fuel economy for a diesel. It comes standard with hill descent control and electronic locking rear differential in the Fx4 off-road model, and comes optional with fifth wheel and goose neck trailer prep package for only $400 extra from the factory with a warranty, you can get the best deals at Executive Auto Center Dealer. Now the F-350 has improved steering that reduces driving effort, and a telescope steering wheel. Some not so good things about the F-350, is that the only way you can tell its the new super duty, is to see it head on, and the rest of the truck looks older.
The F-450 pick up has been downgraded in pay load capacity and shares most from hardware with the F-350. If improved with hydraulic body mounts, the ride quality in the crew cab and extended cab models would have much better quality ratings. The Ford F-350 is the third version of Fords heavy duty pick-up trucks in the last four years and the second version since Ford reworked the truck for the 2008 model year. Fords changes are critical to keeping it locked on the heavy duty segment where the F-250 three-quarter-ton and F-350 one-ton trucks rule the rest with 50 percent market share. Ford F-450 1.5 ton continues in a segment of its own, but with several major revisions. These heavy duty pick up trucks exist to tow and haul the heaviest loads. The 6.7 liter power stroke diesel will be the power pulling leader of the 2011 super duty line up. Two other gas engines will be available for the F-250 through the F-550 pick ups and commercial chassis cabs found at Commercial Trucks GA.
