WOW! What a treat it is to experience a test drive in the NEW 2008 F-SERIES SUPER DUTY Ford Truck! “This is the most awesome truck I’ve ever driven,” said one patron after test-driving the new Ford truck.
Rusty Magiera, Parts and Service Director at United Ford North, proudly says, “The new F-Series Super Duty Truck is the most powerful, most technical, and cleanest running Ford diesel truck ever. Plus, it just may be the best looking truck in the world!”
According to Ford Motor Company literature, “The F-Series Super Duty does more than any other truck in its class. The all-new 2008 model boasts a 6.4L Power Stroke© V8 Turbo Diesel with huge horsepower and massive torque, along with its clean, quiet operation.” The truck has a bold design appearance that delivers great road presence. And its spectacular new interior is an experience in itself. Super Duty makes the hardest work easy with innovative features you won’t find on any other pickup. “The exceptional power and style is just what you would expect from the new Ford F-Series,” says Magiera. “And with a 5th-Wheel towing rating of up to 24,500 lbs and a conventional towing rating of up to 16,000 lbs, the F-450 pickup is the most capable Super Duty of them all.”
Although the Super Duty comes stock with all the basic tools one can imagine, there is an impressive list of extras. Just a few of the optional and innovative new tools to consider are a new class-exclusive tailgate step that makes climbing into the bed of the truck a breeze. New class-exclusive PowerScope™ Trailer Tow Mirrors fold and telescope almost 3” on each side of the truck at the touch of a switch. They also include heated glass and the spotter mirror is more than twice the size of its predecessor, providing expanded visibility.
The bold, new interior design of the Super Duty picks up where the muscular exterior leaves off. The cabin is constructed from quality materials that are as comfortable as they are durable. Driver and passengers alike will enjoy this giant leap in refinement seldom found on a truck. Ford has taken silencing measures that ensure the cab to be exceptionally quiet.
Additional amenities for consideration include a well-organized Center Stack; a DVD-Based Navigation System which can carry map routes anywhere in the U.S. or Canada and guide you with audible instructions; Dual-Zone Electronic Automatic Temp Control (standard on Lariat); and a Rapid-Heat Supplemental Cab Heater (available on diesel trucks equipped with TorqShift® transmission) quickly and automatically helps raise the cabin temperature to a comfortable level.
Ford muscles up the new Super Duty by providing an all-new 6.4L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel which pumps some serious iron! This is the most powerful Ford pickup diesel engine ever built. This truck delivers all the power you will want for all your heavy lifting. Take a look under the hood of the all-new F-Series Super Duty and you’ll swear you’re seeing a diesel on steroids.
With its rigid frame, beefy suspensions, huge axels, solid braking, stable handling, heavy-duty capacity and road-going performance unique to Ford, the F-Series Super Duty delivers all-out capability in a mighty fine package. See it today at either United Ford location in Tulsa. It is a real pleaser!
