2011 ford e-series van review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. New looks, new engines. introductionthe 2011 ford super duty line has all-new engines, a new transmission, new front styling and a slew of less-noticeable updates. The pickup version of the f-450 has been scaled closer to f-350 but maintains towing superiority, while the cab-and-chassis f-450 and f-550 serve the commercial market. a new 385-hp 6. 2-liter gasoline v8 is standard and similar to ram's 5. 7 hemi and gm's 6-liter in output. The new 6. 7-liter power stroke turbodiesel v8 (390 horsepower and 735 lb-ft of torque) made super duty the first production pickup to surpass that 700 marker. Crew chief allows a dispatcher real-time truck location, speed, and fuel economy, potentially useful for the friday-night parent as well. towing owners will appreciate the optional under-box fifth-wheel hitch platform and updated integrated trailer brake controller. The new diesel is quiet but don't expect luxury levels of noise control and refinement in a truck. more best defines the 2011 super duty relative to its predecessors: more payload, more towing, more weight, more efficient, more choices, but not necessarily more money. The xl, xlt and lariat trims extend to most models. Also, there is no short-box dual-rear wheel model, and the fx4 package is offered only on supercab and crew cab 4wd f250 and f350. a 6. 2-liter v8 with 385 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque is standard on all f-250 and f-350 models. The f-450 pickup comes standard with the 6. 7-liter turbodiesel rated at 390 hp and 735 lb-ft of torque. A step up in trim level may add a different cab, box length, or engine, which is why a supercab is $3500-$4700 more than a regular cab, and a crew cab is $5000-$6750 beyond a regular cab. Buying up from xl to xlt trim typically adds $2500-$3500, from xlt to lariat $4000-$7500, and lariat to king ranch $3000-$6500. the super duty xl 28,020 for f-250 regular cab 2wd) is work-truck, low-budget in nature, with vinyl seats and flooring, black painted grille and bumpers, plain trim, and am/fm stereo, but it does include air conditioning, towing mirrors, trip computer, tilt/telescoping steering wheel and a weight-appropriate receiver hitch. Options are primarily mechanical in nature: diesel 7,835), locking differential, larger tires and wheels 300-$1,985), integrated fifth-wheel/gooseneck hitch prep package 380), camper package, off-road package for 4wd, tow command 230), auxiliary switches, reverse sensors, tailgate step, work solutions in-dash computer 1395) and tool link 1120). Supercabs also include flip-out rear side windows, super and crew get an overhead console, and the f-450 has forged aluminum wheels. xlt trim 31,300 for f-250 regular cab 2wd) adds chrome trim, aluminum wheels, 40/20/40 cloth front seat with under-seat lockable compartment, carpet, cd player, power windows/locks/mirrors, power-adjusted and heated towing mirrors, privacy glass, the integrated brake controller for single-rear wheel trucks, remote keyless entry, mykey, and cruise control. Dimensions are easily given in yards rather than inches. The power stroke badges have been given a hybrid-like green leaf with b20 in reference to the ability to burn biodiesel fuel, but only compared to other huge trucks might a super duty be considered green. regardless of bulging flares or flared nostrils no super duty would be mistaken for anything less than a full-size pickup even with nothing scalable within sight. The clamshell hood essentially wraps around the diesel engine underneath, and the rounded edges and deeper airdam have improved the coefficient of aero drag from about 0. 45 to 0. 425, still a block compared to a good car at 0. 25-0. 27. the doors remain unchanged, the box sides are mildly modified and have a larger fuel door for the diesel models' additional diesel exhaust fluid fill. Back-up lights are at the top of the tail-lamp assembly, so far off the ground they are really nothing more than signaling devices that the truck is in reverse. Wheels range from 17 to 20 inches in diameter, all of aluminum except the base 17-inch steel wheels. towing mirrors include signal repeaters that won't distract the driver; they telescope and fold (manual or powered), and include two large reflector elements for safe rear vision with the widest street-legal trailers. Rear cameras are mounted in the tailgate center latch housing, and display on the navigation screen or inside the rearview mirror. an optional tailgate step pops a 16. 7 x 4. 5-inch step with a half-ton load rating out of the tailgate and raises a grab handle rated at 300 pounds to make the climb safer; the step's handle makes box access easier but may need to be lowered again to slide a load in. Cargo can be secured with a hefty cable lock, and the box can be protected with a sprayed-in liner. new for 2011 is an integrated fifth-wheel/gooseneck hitch prep package. The super duty also has an inside box-wall mounted 7-pin trailer plug. interiorwith almost six feet of space from door to door the ford super duty cab is massive. Materials appear well assembled and are mission-appropriate. The king ranch version makes a better lincoln pickup than lincoln's own, while the base model could be cleaned out with a bucket of warm water. On upper-end models, the gear-cog-like chrome surrounds for vents and gauges can create some unwelcome reflections, and the number of textures and colors (we counted up to eight) may be too much for design minimalists. the dash is segmented in three sma.
