Summary
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.
