2013 Ford F-Series Super Duty

Tuesday, April 10, 2012

The new Ford F-Series Super Duty Platinum will be available only in the Super Duty crew cab and it can be ordered as an F-250, F-350 or F-450 pickup. Under the hood you can opt for either a 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel engine or the 6.2-liter V8 gas engine. The two engines will be mated to a 6R140 heavy-duty TorqShift six-speed transmission.

The diesel version delivers an impressive 400 HP and 800 lb-ft of torque, while the gas version delivers a total of 385 HP and 405 lbs-ft.

We believe that the new Platinum version makes from the Super Duty a cooler pick-up when compared to competitors like Nissan Titan or Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. The Titan is powered by a 5.6-liter DOHC Endurance V8 rated at 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft torque - a huge advantage for the Platinum no matter what engine you will opt for. The Silverado is powered by a 6.6 Liter Duramax diesel engine mated to a heavy duty Allison 1000 six speed transmission and sprint from 0 to 60 mph in under 9 seconds

The exterior of the Super Duty Platinum is lavished in chrome, including the door handles, mirror caps, running boards and exhaust tip. The boxside on both sides of the truck sports the “Platinum” name in chrome letters and the tailgate is trimmed with a satin chrome appliqué, similar to the one used on the F-150 Platinum. Twenty-inch polished-aluminum wheels with painted black inserts round out the stunning exterior design of the Super Duty Platinum.

The interior showcases luxury in the form of unique wood grain appliqués. The steering wheel is heated and leather-wrapped, with genuine wood accents. The instrument panel, center stack and door trims are wrapped in premium wood grain. A new storage area on top of the dash includes two USB ports, audio-video connections, SD card slot and a 12-volt charging port for cell phones and other digital devices.

The driver’s seat has 10-way power-adjustable seating and both captain’s chairs are upholstered with softer, premium leather, which is also used on the armrests and console. Other evidence of fine craftsmanship includes the seats and floor mats, which feature the embroidered “Platinum” logo.

Other standard features include:

SYNC with MyFord Touch
Navigation System
Power-adjustable pedals
Rear view camera
Remote Start System
Universal garage door opener
Power-telescoping mirrors

Super Duty Platinum is available in Ruby Red, Kodiak Brown, Tuxedo Black, Ingot Silver and White Platinum. Interior color offerings include Pecan and Midnight Black. Another new exterior color, Blue Jean Metallic, will be available for Super Duty models other than Platinum.
The Platinum trim level will be offered on crew cab-equipped F-250, F-350 and F-450 trucks. No word on pricing, but the Platinum will be positioned above the King Ranch trim level, which starts at $48,180.
