ALL-NEW 2008 SUPER DUTY CHASSIS
The 2008 Super Duty’s tough truck capability starts with a solid foundation. From the F-250 pickup, F-350 pickup, F-450 pickup, right up to the F-450 and F-550 chassis cab, each chassis is custom-tailored to provide the utmost in strength, flexibility and durability.
Every Super Duty frame is E-coated for improved corrosion protection. The new, fully boxed front section has been optimized to meet the government’s standards for vehicle compatibility without the need for an added blocker beam. The unique front frame horn design lowers the frame by seven inches, improving vehicle cooling and providing a solid footing for the hydroformed body structure.
Reinforcements have been added to several areas for increased cargo and towing capacity. Massive 27 mm enclosed tow hooks, “the strongest tow hooks in the industry,” are designed to support one-and-a-half times the truck’s gross vehicle weight – up to 33,000 pounds.
Super Duty combines a proven front suspension with an all-new rear leaf-spring suspension to deliver a more refined and confident ride without compromising on capability.
As an added benefit, the rear suspension was specifically designed to keep the rear end lower to optimize the towing of taller gooseneck and fifth-wheel trailers.
