The Ford Super DutyTM is the toughest, hardest-working generation of Class 3–5 chassis cab we've ever built. The Super Duty is the only chassis cab built with a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy that's lighter than steel yet incredibly strong. Add in stronger axles, chassis and steering components, the fully boxed under-cab and a C-channel aft-of-cab frame made of high-strength steel, and you've got hauling and towing capability that you can depend on to deliver during the workday.
The Ford Super DutyTM is the only Class 3–5 chassis cab with a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body. *It's lighter than steel yet immensely strong. And it's also more dent- and ding-resistant and not subject to red rust corrosion. Beneath this lighter body is a fully boxed under-cab frame and a C-channel aft-of-cab frame built with high-strength steel.
Built Ford ToughTM isn't just a slogan. It's an attitude that has produced America's premier line of rugged and dependable pickups for 43 straight years. Success at this high level is achieved by never letting up, never allowing the competition to catch up. One example: Super DutyTM is the first and only chassis cab in its class with a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body and a frame made of high-strength steel. *Super Duty. It's Built Ford Tough.
Super Duty™ Chassis Cab features a fully boxed under-cab and C-channel aft-of-cab frame made of high-strength steel with up to 10 crossmembers, with key crossmembers through welded to increase stiffness. Torsional rigidity is eight times greater than in the previous generation. The open C-channel frame aft of cab features a standard 34" frame-rail width and easily accommodates a wide range of upfits from flat and dump beds to wrecker, service and delivery bodies.
The components of the four-wheel anti-lock brakes in today's generation of F-450/F-550 feature the largest rotors in their class* — and for two important reasons. You want them to provide the sure stopping power you expect when you're out on the job hauling tons of equipment or cargo, and you want them to last, because having to replace brakes too often can be drag on your bottom line.
The latest generation of the Ford Super DutyTM was subjected to more than 20 million miles of testing, under real and simulated conditions, at temperatures from –20 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Powertrain tests replicated going up a six-degree grade over 500 miles. Super Duty was also subjected to four-post frame twists, gravel, dust, water, brine, mud baths and even intentionally tested with worn or broken parts. Such extreme conditions often went far beyond what you would likely encounter on your toughest of jobs.
The available aft-axle frame extension allows an upfitted body to accommodate additional equipment through extended length. It's available on F-450, F-550 models, providing 42 inches of extension with the 145-in. wheelbase and 32 inches of extension with the 169-in. wheelbase.
