The 2011 Ford E-350 Super Duty is the largest and heaviest-rated of full sized Ford Vans. 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. Both engines come with a new six-speed automatic transmission.
Towing owners will appreciate the optional under-box fifth-wheel hitch platform and updated integrated trailer brake controller. The 2011 Ford Super Duty comes in four trim levels, three cab sizes and two box sizes (6.75 feet, 8 feet), virtually all in two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The least expensive Super Duty, a regular cab, long box two-wheel drive XL is $28,020 and the most expensive is the F-450 King Ranch Crew Cab long box diesel, about twice that.
The King Ranch ($45,715) for F-250 Crew Cab 2WD) adds two-tone paint including most trim pieces, driver memory package, heated/cooled power front seats, unique forged alloy wheels, rearview camera, and Chaparral-leather for the steering wheel, four captain's chairs and both center consoles.
Safety equipment includes electronic stability control, trailer sway control, and hill-descent control, antilock brakes, SOS post-crash alert, dual front airbags, front side airbags, side curtain airbags, adjustable height outboard belt anchors, child-seat LATCH anchors, three rear seat headrests on Crew Cab and a passenger airbag deactivation switch on regular and SuperCabs.
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. Wheels range from 17 to 20 inches in diameter, all of aluminum except the base 17-inch steel wheels.
The F-450 model is a crew-cab, long-box-only truck that has bucked trends and downsized slightly. The "Ford Super Duty" is the largest mass-market pickup truck you can get, offered in the widest array of configurations and most of the highest ratings that "pickup truck" bragging wars often revert to.--'Ford' has long been known for their trucks and vans. Ford still makes as solid and reliable a truck or van as anyone in the market.
It has standard 16-inch steel wheels, and a "4-speed automatic transmission". The cargo model has two bucket seats in the front. The E-350 has anti-lock brakes, stability control, traction control, and side front airbags.
The Ford E-350 is a heavy duty, unpretentious van that is reliable and is great for transporting cargo or passengers. The ride is typical Ford van: it’s big and built for heavy duty use, and the suspension and acceleration reflect that. Virtually all of the negative feedback is the result of the "E-350" being a big, heavy duty vehicle. The Ford E-350 is a large van designed to carry large loads. It is solid, has tons of space, and is a great choice for a heavy duty work van. If you want a nice, sporty commuting van, buy a minivan.
Available in regular and extended lengths, the 350 Super Duty van has a maximum gross vehicle weight rating of 9,500 pounds. Single- and dual-rear-wheel trims are available.--The Ford E-350 passenger wagon can seat seven, eight, 11 or 12 people; extended-length vans seat 11, 14 or 15 occupants
