2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty Lariat Crew Cab Dualie 4x4 - Car and Driver
There's a reason full-size-truck previews are often held in Texas. Texas is big. Lots of it. Unleaded, super, and—oh, yes—diesel, too. Texas, my friends, is pure pickup paradise. So what could be wrong about Ford launching its enormous all-new, 2008 F-series Super Duty pickups in Texas. Well, it seems the Lone Star State also has big weather, including big ice storms on occasion, with one particularly awful one blanketing most of Texas late this past winter, paralyzing travel for several of the exact same days the Ford team... Thus, none of us was able to make it to Ford's Super Duty hoedown, which undoubtedly would have consisted of the regularly prescribed mix of street driving, towing, off-roading, several barbecue lunches, and at least one event involving milking... Turns out, there may be lots better places than SoCal for driving trucks as big and brazen as the black F-350 Super Duty 4x4 that showed up, complete with the PowerStroke diesel V-8, a constellation of clearance lights, and, of course, dual rear... It was Ford's ultimate expression of pickup power: towing, hauling, and crew carrying, combined with big-rig badness, leather-lined comfort, and a Texas-sized grille. Source: www.caranddriver.com
