For buyers who need a heavy-duty truck for hauling and towing, the Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks make excellent and capable choices.
The best part about the Ford Super Duty trucks, reviewers say, is their ability to take whatever jobs owners throw at them, and respond with power, capability and even a dose of refinement and comfort. Cars.com compares the Super Duty to "a Clydesdale - stout, gentle, and enormously willing to pull. This pickup was made to haul something that probably already burned down a lesser truck. Chances are, you wouldn't buy a Super Duty unless you had a problem load. This is the kind of truck that takes your big problem and makes it go away."
The Ford Super Duty trucks are available with Regular, Super and Crew Cabs, in F-250, F-350 and F-450 configurations. The F-250 and F-350 have three available engines: a V8, a V10 and a Powerstroke diesel. The F-450 is available only with the diesel.
No matter the Super Duty truck you choose, you can choose options that take it from a basic work truck to a high-tech mobile workspace, thanks to features that track tools and even let you create and print invoices right in the truck's cab. Buyers can even chose to show their affinity for brands beyond Ford with the Harley-Davidson and Cabela's editions of the Super Duty, which add special logos, upscale interior touches, and lifestyle features, like lockable storage for hunting rifles in the Cabela's edition.
If you're shopping heavy duty trucks, you probably know that your options are limited to the Dodge Ram Heavy Duty, the Chevrolet Silverado HD, the GMC Sierra HD and the Ford Super Duty trucks. All offer similar capabilities, and a long list of possible configurations, so your best bet is to shop around for the truck that fits your needs and your budget.
