Interior - What the Auto Press Says

Reviewers say that the Ford Super Duty's interior lives up to its price tag with innovative optional features, high-quality fit and finish, and lots of comfort and space to go around.

  • "The cabin of the Super Duty is consistent with what you should expect in a $60,000 truck designed to keep people comfortable on long Interstate tours. Ford has recently done interiors well, in terms of design and use of materials, and this Super Duty cockpit is no exception." -- Motor Trend
  • "With the debut of the current F-Series, Ford established a benchmark for pickup interiors. In the new Super Duty the benchmark is moved upward in available choices, functionality and appointment." -- Kelley Blue Book
  • "A rugged, industrial theme marks the cabin, and materials quality is good." -- Edmunds
  • "The Super Duty has a luxury option for almost every application."  -- Cars.com

Seating

The Super Duty trucks are available as Crew, Super and Regular cab trucks.  In the Regular cab, seating capacity is three across a bench seat.  In the Super Cab, a small back seat brings the seating capacity up to five or six, depending on id there is a bench seat in the front.  Finally, the Crew Cab has roomy backseat that some critics say is more comfortable than the front.  Depending on the front seat configuration, the Crew Cab can seat up to six.

  • "Standard bench seat has enough space for three large adults, but is too hard and flat for long-haul comfort. Available twin bucket seats are more accommodating." --Consumer Guide
  • "With the Crew Cab, the back row actually offers more legroom than in front. The rear seats share the same gorgeous leather trim and offer adult legroom and adult headroom, though they do not recline or adjust. " -- Motor Trend
  • "With three-and-a-half feet of headroom and just shy of six feet of shoulder room, the Ford Super Duty cab is massive." -- Autobytel

Interior Features

Depending on the model you choose, reviewers say the Super Duty can be equipped as a humble work truck or a mobile 21st century office, complete with WiFi and Ford's innovative Tool Link system, which tracks tools and lets the driver know if they aren't returned to the truck -- a boon for contractors.

  • "Gauges clear, well-placed. Most controls are handy, though some radio and climate buttons are a bit of a stretch. Materials range from stark to fairly fancy depending on trim level and options." -- Consumer Guide
  • "And for those venturing off into the Great Unknown, an optional navigation system should get you there and - hopefully - back again." -- Kelley Blue Book
  • "How does the Cabela's F-250 pay for itself? Here's how: The truck can also be equipped with Ford Work Solutions and its in-dash computer (a $1,195 option). . . . It includes high-speed wireless internet ($49.99/month, unlimited data or $25/month, limited to 25 MB) and a wireless keyboard; navigation; Tool Link (extra $1,120), which uses radio frequency tag readers in the truck to keep track of tools so they aren't left behind at home or a job site; and a flexible, extendable cable lock (extra $120) that secures equipment left in the bed." -- Cars.com

Cargo

All models of the Ford Super Duty come with good interior storage, but reviewers note that more storage is available in crew cab models, and special models, like the Cabela's edition have specialized storage solutions, including two lockable cases suitable for storing firearms.

  • "Dual door pockets and a massive center console/armrest provide generous in-cabin storage -- in fact, the center console box is big enough to accommodate a laptop and/or hanging files. In crew cabs, folding the rear seats up reveals a flip-out utility tray that keeps the load floor flat." -- Edmunds
  • "There's lockable, padded storage hidden under the rear seats to store long arms or take-down rods, and a small locker in the front center console to safeguard valuables or a handgun. The built-in storage is especially welcome if you live in a state that requires firearms in motor vehicles to be secured when driving. " -- Cars.com
  • "The only feature separating the Cabela's from its cousin, the King Ranch edition, is the locking gun storage. Granted, they don't explicitly call it that. It's simply ‘lockable storage' for your ‘equipment' and you could, in theory, store a gun-sized metal rod in the large storage locker beneath the rear seat and, I guess, drop some bait in the lockable section beneath the center console. But why? The one up front couldn't more clearly be for your hand gun and the one out back for a rifle - or maybe a dangerous oboe." -- Jalopnik
