WR TV: 2015 Ford F350 Super Duty

Today we’ve wrangled one of Ford’s most capable pickups for a thorough look from top to bottom, and then head out on the road for a pair of POV test drives. For 2015, the Super Duty line of pickups gets a new optional 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V-8 which outputs 440 horsepower and a stump-decimating 860 pound-feet of torque. Naturally the F350’s towing capacity has risen as well, with the maximum fifth-wheel/gooseneck trailer figure now pegged at an astronomical 26,500 pounds.

 

But the F350 isn’t just an engine and a set of performance statistics, so we’re going over the nuances of this formidable hauler with meticulous care, from the King Ranch interior appointments to the Ruby Red Metallic paint with Caribou accents and the 20” aluminum wheels.

 

The 2015 F-350 King Ranch Crew Cab 4×4 starts at $54,895, while our tester, fully loaded with the 6.7-liter diesel V8, 355 locking differential, dual alternators and other miscellaneous goodies clocks in at $66,510. Let’s check it out and then go for a spin:
