What's the difference?

I've got a '90 F250 351W, SC, E4OD. I see some of you post your trucks as super duty, some as heavy duty, and some just say you've got a 250 or whatever. What's the difference, and how do you know what you've got if it don't say so?

There's your stupid question of the day

Superduty used to be all by itself, but when the new body style came out in late 98 as a 99 they started using the name superduty . It's just a name for a sales pitch, sounds cool though..

Heavy Duty was used to refer to pick-ups with a GVWR of 8500 or more, and with the new models in the sping of '98 Ford began calling them Super Duty. They also made the light duty f-250 until '99.
