DALLAS, September 28, 2006 – The all-new 2008 Ford F-Series Super Duty, the industry’s leading heavy-duty work truck and a mainstay of businesses throughout America, was unveiled today on the eve of the 2006 State Fair of Texas.

The fair, which routinely attracts approximately 3 million visitors during a 24 day period and is one of the largest, longest-running state fairs in the country, has become an important part of Ford’s product launch and marketing activities, particularly for trucks. This year’s fair marks the second year in a row that Ford has unveiled an all-new vehicle at the annual event. In 2005, the Ford Explorer Sport Trac – the groundbreaking sport-utility truck, an SUV with the cargo box of a truck – was launched State Fair of Texas.

The new line of Super Duty pickups was unveiled to a large audience of Ford dealers, employees, media and key stakeholders on a unique “construction site” stage. Mark Fields, president of the Americas for Ford Motor Company, hosted the launch event.
