TIRES
|
|
Description:
|
Certain Lariat and King Ranch model pickup trucks fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120, (tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars). Some trucks were inadvertently equipped with an incorrect load range tire. This would result in incorrect tire load ratings for the stated vehicle axle gross axle weight rating. Also, the tire may be inflated above the DOT listed inflation pressure. If a tire was operated in an over-loaded or over-inflated condition, the tire may rupture resulting in a rapid air loss, which can cause a crash without warning. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace any incorrect load range tires. Additionally, if any tire required replacement, it is recommended that the wheel lug nut torque be checked within 500 miles after any tire replacement. Owner notification began on May 21, 2004. Owners should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.

Summary:
|
America's most popular heavy hauler.
By Mitch McCullough, NewCarTestDrive.com
Ford Super Duty trucks look good, but their real beauty lies in their capabilities. The 6.0-liter turbo-diesel, particularly, is drawing rave reviews and is available with a five-speed automatic transmission.Though not as refined as the newer designs from Dodge and GM, the Ford Super Duty trucks are solid, workhorse pickups with roomy, comfortable cabins. Perhaps that's why they remain the best sellers. |
|
Overview:
|
The 2004 Ford Super Duty pickups look like serious big rigs, and they are. The F-250 and F-350 are willing and able to pull their weight. When you need haul more than 3000 pounds, or tow more than 9900 pounds, then even the best-equipped F-150 isn't quite up to the job. That's where the Super Duty trucks come in, with payload capacities of up to 5500 pounds, and the ability to tow up to 14,200 pounds. The Ford Super Duty F-250 competes with the other heavyweights from Detroit: the Dodge Ram 2500, Chevrolet Silverado 2500, and GMC Sierra 2500. The F-350, with its optional dual rear wheels, competes against the 3500-series models from GM and Dodge. The Super Duty pickups feature first-class powertrains. The standard 5.4-liter V8 gas engine was revised for 2003 for quieter and more refined operation. For 2004, the 6.0-liter turbo-diesel V8 has been recalibrated for lower emissions. A 6.8-liter gasoline V10 is also available. The Super Duty trucks are not the latest in truck design and don't offer the level of chassis sophistication of their counterparts from GM and Dodge. So they don't ride or handle as well. However, Ford continues to update its Super Duty pickups to make them more family-friendly. The base interior was recently upgraded and a power sliding moonroof is available for crew cabs. Several other new interior features further enhance comfort and convenience for 2004. Ford sells more pickups in the over-8500-pound GVWR range than GM or Dodge.
