Default 11 tonne towing capacity - Now we're talking!

One of the coolest vehicles in Ford's lineup - F350 Super Duty. Fantastic fuel economy too.

3 tonnes
6.7 litre V8 turbo diesel
Real world fuel economy 12-14 litres per 100km.

Manly truck is large and in charge

BY DEREK MCNAUGHTON, CANWEST NEWS SERVICE

I’ve never sat at the helm of a diesel locomotive, but I would bet good money it is not much different than sitting behind the wheel of the 2011 Ford F-350 Super Duty.

Long, tall and snorting with enough torque to uproot a bungalow and drag it across town, the newest Super Duty from Ford is, bar none, the best-looking pickup Ford has ever built and quite possibly the largest. The proportions of the truck make it stand out from all other trucks in the market and the “power dome” hood is the toughest-looking sheaf of sheetmetal I’ve witnessed on a pickup, as is the equally massive chrome grille.

At almost 80 inches tall and riding on beautiful 20-inch wheels, my white platinum metallic tester certainly would not fit in the underground parking garages of Ottawa, unless I wanted to make it a convertible. The top of the tailgate measured almost to the top of my wife’s minivan. And, of course, just about everywhere one goes with this truck come unsolicited comments about how “that is one big truck.”

Can I have one..?
