2007 Ford F-250/350 Super Duty: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

Ford's heavy-duty pickup trucks get new trim packages for 2007. Mainstream Super Duty models include 3/4-ton F-250s and 1-ton F-350s. The line also offers F-450, 550, and 650 versions. F-250 and 350 are available in five trim levels. XL and XLT offer a 2-dr regular cab, an extended SuperCab with rear-hinged doors that don't open independently of the fronts, and a crew cab with four full doors. Top-line Lariat and King Ranch trims are available as SuperCabs and crew cabs. A special Harley-Davidson edition is a crew cab only.

Regular cabs have an 8-ft-long cargo bed; SuperCabs and crew cabs have 6.75-ft or 8-ft beds. F-350s are available with single- or dual-rear wheels. A 300-hp V8 engine is standard on all but the F-350 dual-rear wheel crew cab. Standard on that model and optional on others is a 362-hp V10. Also optional on all F-250s and 350s is a 325-hp turbodiesel V8. For all engines, 6-speed manual transmission is standard, a 5-speed automatic is optional. All except the Harley-Davidson are available with rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive that should not be left engaged on dry pavement, but includes low-range gearing. Harley-Davidsons are 4WD only.

Lariat and King Ranch models have specific trim and are available with leather upholstery. New for 2007, the Highline Edition package for Lariat SuperCabs and the Outlaw package for Lariat crew cabs bring unique interior and exterior trim. A sunroof is optional on all crew cabs except the XL. Also optional is rear obstacle detection.

COMPETITION

For personal use, consider light-duty 1/2-ton models. For heavy-duty or commercial use, consider 3/4- or 1-ton models.
