Tips To Select The Best Ladder Rack For Your Van
The internal-combustion engine makes 429 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque, and the electric motor kicks in up to 21 horses and 184 lb-ft only at lower engine speeds, and it does not change the total powertrain output. Ram鈥檚 heavy-duty trucks are currently closest to Ford鈥檚 in terms of ratings (900 lb-ft of torque, 31,210 pounds of towing), and GM has yet to release details on its updated 2017 models with their ram-air hoods. While we had minimal exposure to Ford鈥檚 standard 6.2-liter V-8, it鈥檚 a capable engine with 385 ponies and 430 lb-ft, well suited to the lighter-and off-road-side of the big truck鈥檚 duty cycle. And any advantage in front-end feel attributable to GM鈥檚 exclusive independent front suspension on four-wheel-drive trucks is greatly diminished by Ford鈥檚 new variable-ratio setup for the hydraulically assisted steering system, which was fitted to every Super Duty we drove on the street (it鈥檚 a $685 option on XLT trims and above, standard on the Platinum). Our first drive on the open road in a near-$80,000 F-250 Platinum crew cab was somewhat surreal, so refined was the truck鈥檚 behavior. Don t buy a Mercedes Benz Pagoda 230SL 250SL or 280SL roadster or coupe without buying this book first!
Mercedes-Benz was the first to introduce pre-tensions to seat belts on the 1981 S-Class. 8. Bench seat with storage underneath. As in the F-150, the crew cab brings ample rear-seat space and a completely flat floor, which can be optioned with a full-width, locking storage compartment that collapses when not needed. You have probably heard stories that cars can be bought at the dealer auctions for unreasonably low prices. The Super Duty鈥檚 plethora of options and configurations means there is a setup for just about any need, with prices increasing slightly across the board. There are many ladder rack systems in the market and it is important to look at each before making your final choice. What鈥檚 more, its Russian-nesting-doll setup of sleeves allows it to receive 2.0-, 2.5-, and 3.0-inch ball mounts, making virtually any receiver hitch a plug-and-play job. Because towing is of such importance, at least to marketing claims, Ford redesigned the Super Duty鈥檚 conventional hitch to handle its maximum of 21,000 pounds without needing a fussy, weight-distributing attachment. Ride quality on smooth mountain roads was quite good for a truck sporting live axles, one that can haul literal tons in its pickup bed (certain F-350s have a max payload of 7630 pounds).
In cargo, chassis-cab, and passenger configurations, the vans we sampled felt composed and smooth. There鈥檚 some bounciness and head toss over bumps, but the revised coil-spring front and leaf-spring rear suspensions quickly smooth out jolts from uneven surfaces. Fortunately, a firm brake pedal and massive vented disc brakes (14.3 inches in diameter both front and rear) shed even loaded-down momentum with confidence. MacPherson suspension at the front and torsion beam at the rear have been updated to ensure optimum control and comfort. Although the switch to aluminum from steel reduces mass by as much as 350 pounds, some of the weight saved has been offset by a stiffer frame, stronger axles and suspension components, added features, and bigger fuel tanks-now as large as 48 gallons on some versions. All of the primary body panels are now made of high-strength aluminum yet are more robust than those on the F-150. For those whose work takes them into sloppy environs, Ford also now offers on all trims a premium rubber floor covering for easy cleanup. Commercial vehicles are a critical component to our big bet on electrification,聰 said Ford chief operating officer Jim Farley.
It is now ready to surpass the full-sized gas-guzzling vans, including Ford E-series, GM's Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana twins. A truck like the one we drove should be just as quick at the test track as the current hot rods in the diesel heavy-duty class: the smaller, lighter Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and GMC Sierra 2500 HD, which sprint to 60 mph in just over seven seconds. Simple physics plays a major role when placing a truck this large on the road and in curves, but the stiffer frame permits a greater sense of composure and stability in turns.
