2008 Ford F250 Super Duty – Business Week

2008-Ford-F250-Super-Duty.jpg

Business Week have published a review of the 2008 Ford F250 Super Duty. ‘I test-drove the ultra-fancy, four-wheel-drive Lariat version of the F250 with the optional King Ranch interior. This is nothing like the barebones pickups of yore. My test truck listed at $57,000 and had a spacious cab, with four comfy captain's chairs upholstered in soft brown "Chaparral" leather that made the interior smell like a saddle shop. It also was more than 20 feet long and had all sorts of extra gizmos, including a power sunroof, backup alarm, and navigation system. There's an optional rear-seat entertainment system for watching movies.

As with other full-size pickups, however, the big appeal of the F250 is the vast number of configurations it comes in. The basic two-wheel-drive F250 XL with stick shift, regular cab, and a gasoline-powered V8, starts at $23,305. But the price easily tops $30,000 once you start adding options many shoppers want, such as a diesel engine ($6,895), four-wheel-drive ($2,975), an automatic transmission ($1,490), air conditioning ($855), a basic radio and CD player ($250), extendable trailer mirrors ($250), a tilt steering wheel ($150), and traction control ($130).’
