> 2012 Super Duty Features: Durability

Ford engineers put the 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel through exhaustive durability testing, so that you can run it easily a quarter-million miles under some mighty tough conditions. That’s the kind of durability and dependability that’s built into this diesel.

The 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 turbo diesel is designed to deliver power, efficiency and quiet operation. This rugged Ford-built powerplant features class-exclusive* inboard exhaust and outboard air induction architecture that helps reduce turbo lag. And speaking of turbocharging, this Power Stroke® engine’s class-exclusive single-sequential turbocharger * uses the compact, efficient design of a dual-sided compressor wheel to help generate maximum power — and deliver it quickly. Yet another great feature is the common-rail induction system which, operating at nearly 30,000 psi, uses precise calibration and phasing to provide optimum power and efficiency as well as reduced noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).

*Class is Full-Size Pickups over 8,500 lbs. GVWR.

The crossmembers on the Super Duty® frame are riveted, welded, or both, to optimize frame capability. There’s also the thick steel C-channel up to 6.7-mm thick. Put this and more tough measures together and you’ll know why Super Duty delivers best-in-class* payload and towing.

*When properly equipped. Class is Full Size pickups over 8,500 lbs GVWR.

The Ford Super Duty® Pickup is tested on the proving grounds and in the real world under harsher conditions than you would normally experience. And we test it again. Only then do we feel confident that it would deliver the dependability you rely on every day. The available 6.7L Power Stroke® turbo diesel, for example, has been put through over 10 million miles of cumulative testing.

Fog lamps available with XLT Premium Package and XLT Value Package.

In addition to front airbags, Super Duty® provides front side-impact airbags and the Safety Canopy® System with its state-of-the-art roll-fold technology. All six airbags are standard on all Super Duty models.*

*Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat, where available.

First class-exclusive* Traction Control on Super Duty® DRW models uses the engine to limit wheelspin by reducing engine throttle output. It’s a smarter way to help keep you in control, even when the elements are out of control.**

*Class is Full-Size Pickups over 8,500 lbs. GVWR. **Even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.

ToughBed® is a unique factory-installed spray-in bedliner. The polyol-based elastomeric film and isocyanate hardener are applied with a precision high-pressure automated sprayer, not a hand sprayer, to help ensure a smooth, even and durable coat. The option includes a tailgate guard, black box bed tie-down hooks and black bed attachment bolts.

Super Duty® single rear-wheel pickups come equipped with standard AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®). To help control your truck, it uses a combination of reduced engine power and selective wheel braking. Corner too quickly or swerve to avoid an object, AdvanceTrac will automatically engage to help keep you under control.*
