2000 Ford Super Duty Overview

Product Information  Specifications Features & Options Overview 2000 F-SUPER DUTY TRUCKS When it comes to big, tough hauling and towing applications, Super Duty models just keep getting better. Ford’s changes to its over-8500-pound GVWR trucks for 2000 add comfort, convenience and storage space, following a host of major improvements last year. Major product changes include Four-wheel anti-lock brakes standard on Lariat trim level in the F-250 and F-350 pickup, and F-350 single rear wheel chassis. Optional bucket seats on XL trim levels for F-250 and F-350 pickups, and F-350, -450 and -550 chassis cabs. Bucket seats accommodate commercial and individual buyers who need additional space for custom storage. Bench seats continue to be standard. Clean fuel (LEV) gasoline engines are standard on all Super Dutys. New manual telescoping trailer tow mirrors will replace non-telescoping trailer tow mirrors. Rear bumpers standard on all F-250 and F-350 pickups. Standard power windows and door locks on XLT trim levels. New exterior colors for F-Super Duty trucks include Harvest Gold Clearcoat Metallic and Island Blue Clearcoat Metallic. New interior colors include dark denim blue and medium dark parchment. The Lineup Ford F-Super Duty models are available in regular cab, four-door SuperCab, and crew cab, as well as a Class-A motorhome chassis. There are 44 different configurations, 15 of them unique to the industry. F-250 and F-350 SuperCab pickups and Chassis Cabs include a standard rear seat on all trim levels (XL, XLT and Lariat). Powertrains Ford Super Duty trucks are powered by the Triton 5.4-liter V-8 or 6.8-liter V-10 gasoline engines. Ford’s 7.3-liter Power Stroke diesel engine also is available. All engines are teamed with manual or automatic overdrive transmissions. Super Duty F-Series trucks are equipped with standard four-wheel disc brakes. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes are standard on all vehicles with GVWRs over 10,000 pounds, and on all Lariat models. All Super Duty models are available in two- or four-wheel drive. Pickups come in short- or long-box configurations and there is a delete-box option. Gross vehicle weight ratings range from 8,800 pounds for the F-250 pickup to 19,000 pounds for the F-550 4×2 Regular Cab chassis cab. Payload ratings are available up to a maximum of 12,270 pounds. Sales and Manufacturing The over-8500-pound GVWR segment of the U.S. truck market has expanded significantly in the late `90s as the service sector booms. Ford offers the industry’s most complete lineup of trucks in both the under and over 8500-pound segments. Ford sold 836,629 total F-Series trucks (combined LD and HD) in the United States in 1998. In the U.S., Super Duty F-Series trucks are built at Ford’s Louisville, Kentucky assembly plant.
