The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
Big can be beautiful.
By Sue Mead, NewCarTestDrive.com
It seems like the timing couldn't be better for a new line of Super Duty trucks. Nearly half of all vehicles sold last year were trucks and SUVs. Ford says the market for trucks heavier than 8,500 pounds GVW has increased by about 80 percent in the past five years.We like the new styling. But with features that make it as comfortable as a luxury car and capabilities that allow it to perform more work than ever before, this new F-250 is a thing of beauty. |
|
Overview:
|
Ford's Super Duty F-250 pickup no longer looks like the F-150. Completely redesigned and re-engineered for 1999, the Super Duty F-250--and the rest of the new Super Duty F-Series pickups--now look like real trucks. Their menacing square-jawed front ends, brawny-looking raised hoods and aggressive headlamps are a big tip-off that there are significant differences underneath. In fact, the Super Duty F-Series trucks ride on an entirely different platform from the regular F-150 and F-250 models. The new Ford Super Duty F-250, which replaces the previous F-250HD, should not be confused with Ford's lighter duty F-250, which shares the F-150's aerodynamic body and chassis. Ford's new Super Duty F-250 boasts significant improvements its predecessor. A roomier, more comfortable interior makes long hauls more bearable. A better suspension, better brakes and a choice of more powerful engines make it a joy to drive. Greater capacities make all of the Super Duty F-Series trucks able to carry heavier loads and pull heavier trailers. Until recently, heavy-duty trucks--three-quarter- and one-ton models--were work vehicles. While many still haul hay, pull horse trailers, work construction sites and are modified for all sorts of duties, more and more heavy-duty trucks are used for recreation. Recognizing this, Ford has redesigned its Super Duty trucks with a slew of thoughtful features to make them more enjoyable for ferrying families. But working stiffs haven't been forgotten. More than 44 different configurations are available and we checked out a fair sample of them when the Super Duty F-Series line was launched. But we focused on a $27,045 Super Duty F-250 4x4 SuperCab 4-door in Lariat trim with the optional $970 automatic transmission for a total of $28,015. The Super Duty F-250 competes with the other heavyweights from Detroit: the Dodge Ram 2500 and Chevrolet/GMC C/K 2500--which will soon be available as the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
