Overview
Ford F-Series Super Duty® is the proven leader in the over-8,500-pound gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) pickup segment with a reputation as America’s get-the-job-done, rugged, practical and capable truck.
For 2007,. F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups offer even more for customers, including the all-new Lariat Highline SuperCab and Lariat Outlaw Crew Cab.
F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups are available in Regular Cab, SuperCab and Crew Cab body styles in XL, XLT and Lariat trims. For even higher payload capacity, F-350 Super Duty is available in a dual-rear-wheel (DRW) “dually” configuration.
F-Series Super Duty pickups are built in Louisville, Ky.
Design and Equipment
Super Duty’s design complements its legendary capabilities with a bold, tough look and a refined interior.
Super Duty’s grille draws cues from the popular Mighty F-350 TONKA concept truck’s chiseled good looks. Sharp edges and vertical bar surfaces provide a milled appearance. Available paint choices include dozens of monochromatic and two-tone combinations. Wheel-lip moldings coordinate with the two-tone treatment on some series.
|
Large three-dimensional badges identify each series and powertrain. Super Duty has led the way by being the first in the segment to offer 18- and 20-inch wheels.
New for 2007, a Lariat Highline Edition is available on F-250 and F-350 SRW SuperCab models. Chrome is the theme, with that finish gracing the billet-style grille, 5-inch tubular step bars, tow hooks, mirror caps, exhaust tips and accenting the instrument cluster. Seating is via Captain’s Chairs with unique black leather seating surfaces.
Also new is the Lariat Outlaw Package, available on F-250 and F-350 SRW Crew Cab models. Boasting a black monotone paint treatment with a unique red tape stripe, the black theme is carried inside with unique black and red leather trimmed Captain’s Chairs with center console and FlexFold™ 60/40 rear bench seat. Unique ebony accents abound on the carpet, door trim insert, scuff plates and B-pillars.
Three fresh color combinations are offered for the Ford Harley-Davidson™ F-Series Super Duty – Black with Medium Wedgewood Blue Flames, Dark Stone with Black Flames and Medium Wedgewood Blue with Black Flames. The Harley-Davidson™ package is available on Crew Cab Lariat models and includes a host of unique appearance features.
Also newly available for 2007 XL models is a power equipment group that includes power locks, power front side windows (and rears on Crew Cab), one-touch down driver-side window, foldaway black power mirrors. A 40/20/40 split bench seat is also available on all XL models.
Powertrain and Chassis
F-Series Super Duty continues to set the standard for capability in the full-size pickup segment, offering best-in-class payload, gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWR) and conventional and fifth-wheel trailer tow ratings.
Three engine options include the segment’s most powerful gasoline engine.
The 6.8-liter, three-valve Triton™ V-10 produces 362 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque – both class-leading figures.
The segment’s best-selling diesel engine – Power Stroke® – is rated at 325 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque.
Ford’s modular 5.4-liter, three-valve Triton V-8 delivers 300 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque. More than 80 percent of peak torque – nearly 300 pound-feet – is available starting as low as 1,000 rpm.
All engines benefit from electronic throttle control, which provides economy and performance benefits. For commercial users who need elevated engine speed to run aftermarket power takeoff (PTO) systems, the “stationary elevated idle control” feature is available on all models.
Super Duty transmissions include a rugged six-speed manual and sophisticated TorqShift® five-speed automatic.
F-Series Super Duty pickups have more towing and payload capacity than ever, making F-350 capable of towing a class-leading 19,200 pounds, when properly equipped.
Ford’s available TowCommand™ System, which includes the industry’s first factory-installed and warranted electronic trailer brake controller, offers smoother operation and safety features. This includes a special trailer brake strategy when the truck’s anti-lock braking system detects poor traction. No aftermarket trailer brake controller can do this. Ford’s TowCommand System also includes TorqShift® transmission with tow-haul mode and telescoping trailer tow mirrors.
Super Duty’s frame features a fully boxed front section for strength and torsional stiffness. From the boxed section back, the frame uses steel that is the thickest gauge of any pickup.
Properly equipped, dual-rear-wheel Super Duty pickups with the 6.8-liter, 3-valve Triton V-10 and 6.0-liter Power Stroke Turbodiesel have the ability to tow up to a class-leading 15,000 pounds on a conventional hitch.
Safety and Security
All F-250 and F-350 Super Duty models include driver and front passenger air bags, BeltMinder® and anti-lock brakes as standard equipment.

Overview
The F-350/F-450/F-550 Super Duty Chassis Cab lineup is designed for hard work and is the popular choice for industrial and commercial applications. The wide variety of Ford Super Duty choices available to customers is one reason Ford has been the truck leader for almost three decades. The chassis cab breadth and depth of product, quality, power, toughness, reliability and ability to get any job done makes for a product that exceeds customer expectations.
The F-350/F-450/F-550 Chassis Cabs are available in Regular Cab, SuperCab and Crew Cab configurations in XL, XLT and Lariat trims. Designed with customization in mind, all models are available in 4x2 and 4x4 configurations.
The F-Series Super Duty truck lineup is manufactured at Ford’s 4.6-million square foot Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville – the largest truck plant in the world.
Design and Equipment
Super Duty has a confident stance, drop-down beltline, round wheel openings and a large grille with machined-appearance bars and distinctive side nostrils. Clean, sheer surfaces with distinctive geometric forms and strong lines introduce a modernized, highly structured look, emphasizing the overall sense of power.
Super Duty Chassis Cabs have flat frame rails designed specifically to accommodate aftermarket bodies. Two-piece frame rails allow for a replaceable front section module that enables easy service. Standard power-glass, manual-telescoping, trailer-tow mirrors on XLT and Lariat models have heated glass, two-way fold, integrated turn signals and clearance lights. SuperCab and Crew Cab 4x4 models can be equipped with the enhanced protection of a transfer case skid plate.
Wiring on isolated circuits is color-coded to facilitate vocational upfits. A through-the-frame-rail fuel-filler neck makes upfitting easier. The fuel tank comes in different configurations, including standard aft-of-axle, midship or both (diesel only), providing up to 59 gallons of optional capacity on dual-rear-wheel (DRW) diesel models.
Both SuperCab and Crew Cab configurations are best in class for interior roominess. The XL vinyl interior washes down quickly and holds up under severe conditions. The XLT and Lariat trims make a great work truck a great place to work.
Newly available for 2007 XL models is a power equipment group chrome package that includes power locks, power front side windows (and rears on Crew Cab), one-touch down driver side window, foldaway black power mirrors. A 40/20/40 split bench seat is also available on all XL models.

2007 Highlights
- The F-650 and F-750 Super Duty® offer businesses and municipalities a tough, hard-working Class 6 and Class 7 commercial truck
- The F-650 and F-750 deliver modern styling, comfort and convenience features not normally found in a commercial vehicle
- F-650 and F-750 represent the most capable entries of America ’s best-selling truck lineup for 29 years running – Ford F-Series
|
Design and Equipment
The secret to delivering the best-selling truck lineup for 29 years is offering customers the vehicle that best fits their needs. For businesses and municipalities looking for a Class 6 or 7 commercial vehicle with non-commercial refinement, Ford F-650 and F-750 Super Duty Chassis Cabs can be customized to fit their specific use.
F-650 and F-750 customers have their choice of three cab configurations: Regular Cab, an exclusive four-door SuperCab and four-door Crew Cab, each with a wide variety of seating choices. There are 38 wheelbase choices, allowing the trucks to be easily upfitted across a wide spectrum of body types.
Customers can choose from nine different frames, including one of the strongest-rated frames in its class, rated to 120,000 pounds per square inch (psi). There is also a wide array of rear axles, including two-speed and single-speed axles with driver-controlled locking differentials.
There are five multi-leaf and three air suspensions to choose from. Air suspension is offered on all models, with or without air brakes, while as many as 16 fuel tank combinations are available.
Each of these design elements, and others, has been creatively packaged to allow for maximum fuel capacity and ground clearances for given applications – especially those requiring clear frame rails for skirted bodies.
|
In addition, Ford offers a low-profile cab, ideal for height-restricted applications. Tractor versions also are available for both F-650 and F-750. Tractor models, designed to pull trailers like those used for beverage delivery, have F-650, F-750 and F-750 S designations depending on power and capacity.
Diverse offerings make for eight distinct model options, each with a variety of cabs and wheelbases. F-650 is available as a “Pro Loader” with a kick-up or straight frame. F-650 also is available as a standard straight-frame truck.

Three diesel engine families are available with a wide variety of horsepower choices. Customers also can choose between 5-, 6- or 7-speed manual and 5- or 6-speed automatic transmissions.
New for the 2007 model year the base engine is a direct-injection, 24-valve 5.9-liter Cummins ISB I-6 diesel with eight power ranges, generating up to 275 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque.
