Super job with Super Duty

 

jackFord’s upgraded 2011 lineup delivers the goods



Ford has built a lot of equity in its storied F-Series family of pickup trucks, claiming a customer base of 9 million drivers, including about 6 million F-150 drivers and 3 million Super Duty customers. Given the passion and dedication many of these customers have for Ford pickups, it’s understandable that the company gives careful consideration to their needs before making any changes to the trucks’ overall template.

Any exterior alterations to the 2011 incarnation of its Super Duty line are minimal at best, with a beefed, chrome front grille the most obvious change. Looking closer, the new larger clamshell-style hood is indicative of where the bulk of the upgrades can be found: in the trucks’ powertrain.
