Upgrades to 2008 F-series Super Duty
pickups include a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V-8 turbo diesel engine, a
refined chassis and suspension and a rear-view camera system that
allows users to clearly view objects behind the vehicle in their
natural sightlines while reversing. The 6.4-liter Power Stroke V-8
delivers 350 hp at 3,000 rpm and 650 lb.-ft. of torque (on F-250
and F-350) starting at 2,000 rpm. Engine technology reduces
particulate output by more than 90 percent and produces emissions
similar to gasoline engines. Front portion of Super Duty frame has
been lowered 7 ins., allowing it to meet vehicle compatibility
standards without the need for add-on components. Newly designed
leaf-spring rear suspension delivers superior ride and handling in
all load situations. New F-450 pickup offers a maximum payload of
more than 6,000 lbs. and towing capacity of more than 24,000 lbs.
