Ford F250 Super Duty 4X4 Review: Performax Lariat FX4 - The Motor Report
Behind the brutish excess of that mega-chrome grille, the F-250 is a surprisingly good drive and actually shrinks at the wheel. Vehicle style: Heavy duty 4X4 twin-cab utility. Engine/transmission: 328kW/1166Nm 6. 7 litre V8 diesel/6spd auto. Fuel consumption listed: 13. 0 l/100km | tested: 13. 4 l/100km (highway), 14. 4 l/100km (4X4 sand and beach driving). OVERVIEW This is one hell of a vehicle - Performax International’s new Ford F-250 Super Duty 4X4 twin-cab. Holy Moses, fire up the 1166Nm of torque nestled behind its 6. 7 litres of V8 diesel power, and the surge is volcanic. The F-250 Super Duty has a 7. 6 tonne maximum tow rating , so the caravan, or the back-hoe, or the neddies, won’t have it raising the lightest sweat. For size, for the amazing on-road presence behind that chromed block-of-flats grille, and for the ease that it does almost everything, the F-250 Super Duty is one incredibly impressive machine. If you’ve got a big job in mind, like bloody big, there’s nothing that will hold a candle to the F-250. “Super Duty” says it all really. Re-engineered for right-hand-drive in Australia in Performax International’s Gympie factory, the conversion is fastidious and invisible, and comes with a full warranty.
