SUPER DUTY CHASSIS PROVIDES INCREASED STRENGTH AND DURABILITY
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 front frame horn design lowers the frame by seven inches, improving vehicle cooling and providing a solid footing for the hydroformed body structure. Robust, 6.7 mm steel outer rails (8.1 mm on the chassis cabs) utilize cross-members that have been modified to help with powertrain noise isolation. Super Duty’s cross members are riveted and welded for added strength.
