Inside The Mind Of An Automotive Geek

We know that Ford is the leading manufacturer of pickup trucks; after all, the F-150 is the best selling vehicle today in the United States. There's something about the truck which makes it juts look so cool without even trying to look good. Its big brother, the F-Series Super Duty is even more jaw-dropping.

And now, for those who have been planning to buy an F-Series Super Duty but has been calling it off waiting for a better deal, the time has come for you to buy one. Only months after its launch and Ford has already given the monster of a truck with a host of new features.

Check out these optional equipments which can come with the F-Series Super Duty if you are willing to spend a bit more. The automaker lists the trucks optional equipments:

" 5.4-liter 3-Valve TritonÒ V-8 with 5-speed manual with Tow/Haul Mode; 6.8-liter 3-Valve TritonÒ V-10 with 6-speed manual; 6.8-liter 3-Valve TritonÒ V-10 with 5-speed automatic; 6.4-liter Power StrokeÒ Diesel V-8 with 6-speed manual transmission; 6.4-liter Power StrokeÒ Diesel V-8 with 5-speed automatic transmission; 17-inch chrome clad steel wheels; 18-inch premium chrome-clad steel wheels; 18-inch premium forged polished aluminum wheels; 20-inch premium polished forged aluminum wheels; Dual alternators; Extra heavy duty alternator; Electronic shift-on-the-fly; Engine block heater; SecuriLockÒ Anti-Theft Ignition; Traction control; PowerScopeÔ Trailer Tow Mirrors; TowCommand integrated trailer brake controller; Transmission power take-off-provision; Privacy glass; Power sliding rear window; Bodyside molding; Lower accent two-tone paint; Power slide moonroof; Reverse camera system; Stowable bed extender; Tailgate step; Adjustable pedals; SIRIUS® Satellite Radio; Audiophile AM/FM Stereo with in-dash six-disc CD/MP3 player and eight speakers; Navigation radio with in-dash screen and DVD ROM and Audiophile AM/FM stereo with in-dash six-disc CD/MP3 player; Rapid-Heat Supplemental Cab Heater; Heated seats; Power seats; Universal garage door opener; Upfitter switches." Wow huh?

With that host of optional equipments, I think the, F-Series Super Duty has become even more attractive to consumers. This move by Ford to give the truck more features shows that it is indeed serious in its turnaround plan. Remember though that Ford is not only offering large trucks like the F-Series Super Duty but also fuel efficient smaller cars. That combination is sure to bring Ford back into contention in the auto market.
