These buyers need trucks that are able to do a specific job. Their reasons for buying may be just as specific, for example:

• A functional and dependable

• Low operating cost

• High power and torque

Commercial customers are expected to make up about 20 percent of the Super Duty market. Super Duty Pickups offer these buyers a variety of weight classes, heavy-duty suspensions, powerful powertrains and a number of heavy-duty options.

This category includes singlevehicle owners/operators or those with fewer than five vehicles. Many of these buyers are “mixed use” operators, meaning that they use their vehicles for both business and personal purposes. Smallbusiness customers are expected to account for about 30 percent of the Super Duty market. Because their work trucks may also double as family vehicles, these buyers may be especially interested in comfort and convenience features.

These customers want a truck with enhanced towing capabilities for a large travel trailer, multi-horse trailer or heavy boat. They’re also looking for trucks that can be used as campers. These buyers are expected to make up about 50 percent of the Super Duty market. Because of their special requirements for towing, off-road use or extra passengers, these buyers may be especially interested in four-wheel drive, dual-rear-wheel models or the 4-door SuperCab or Crew Cab.

Performance/Handling

Gasoline Engines

5.4L 3V SOHC Triton® V-8

• Good low-end torque with over 85 percent of the engine’s peak torque available from as low as 1500 rpm

• Includes a combination of technologies to provide the added horsepower and torque so important to Super Duty® buyers who haul or tow:

– Variable Camshaft Timing optimizes the timing of the

intake and exhaust valves during the combustion cycle. This lets the engine deliver performance tailored to the load applied, with increased power for brisk acceleration or times of high demand

– Charge Motion Control Valves are specially shaped metal

flaps at the intake port that speed up the airflow and create a tumble effect in the combustion chamber, for excellent low-speed combustion

6.8L 3V SOHC Triton V-10

• The segment’s most powerful gasoline engine with 362 horsepower and 457 lb.-ft. of torque

• Short/Long Intake Runner design features long runners for lower engine rpm operation to speed up airflow and provide maximum torque, and short runners for higher engine rpm to provide unrestricted high-velocity air intake for efficient cylinder filling and maximum power

SD Pickups

F-250/F-350/F-450

5.4L 3-valve SOHC Triton V-8

Common Gasoline Engine Technology

• 3-valves-per-cylinder design features two intake valves and

one exhaust valve allowing the engine “breathe” almost as well as high-performance 4-valve designs but without the additional weight and complexity

6.8L 3-valve SOHC Triton V-10

• Electronic Throttle Control is also known as “drive-by-wire.” Translates accelerator motions and other inputs into control of engine power. The accelerator pedal controls the throttle by means of a computer-controlled stepping motor in lieu of a conventional linkage from pedal to throttle. It works by integrating throttle movements with the vehicle’s electronically controlled functions such as cruise control or idle speed. It enhances control, driveability and performance

• Cast iron block and heads provide a durable foundation

• Larger exhaust valves than 6.0L – Improve engine breathing – Optimize fuel economy and performance

• Improved emissions – Reduced particulate output – Emits 85 percent less pollutants than previous model year

diesel engine

• Improved engine control module (ECM) – Fuel and engine controls integrated into the same cast

aluminum housing – Allows engine technologies to operate properly – Durability tests doubled to ensure robustness and long life

• High-pressure common-rail (HPCR) fuel system pressurizes the

fuel system to 28,000 psi and injects the fuel into the cylinders through piezo-actuated injectors

• Piezo-actuated injectors are capable of delivering up

to five injections per combustion cycle and include the following benefits:

– Instant response for optimized acceleration, improved

cold start at –20 degrees F, and better emissions control – Quiet operation throughout the entire rpm range (similar

to gasoline-engine noise levels) – Injectors and fuel pump placed inside valve cover for

quieter ride

• Dual Sequential Turbo helps improve response throughout the

engine’s power band and includes the following benefits: – Better low-speed performance, improved acceleration and

power at altitude – First turbo in the series features an Electronic Variable

Response Turbocharger (EVRT

fixed low-pressure turbo comes on at higher rpm and at

optimum speed – EVRT comes on at low rpm to provide extra boost

at takeoff – EVRT changes the position of the turbine blades based on

engine demand – As rpm increase, the larger fixed low-pressure turbo kicks

in to boost power through the middle of the torque curve – Fixed low-pressure turbo takes over at optimum speed

Diesel Engine Cooling System

Radiator

• Diesel radiator is significantly larger (19 percent more frontal area)

• Larger water pump nearly doubles flow rate from 75 to 125 gallons per hour

• Allows Super Duty

engine to endure extremes of hard use

Diesel Engine Emissions

The new 6.4L Power Stroke® V-8 turbo diesel incorporates engine and emissions-control technologies that help reduce particulate emissions to a level equivalent with gasoline engines. A combination of elements work together to allow Super Duty engine emissions requirements.

to achieve new government-mandated diesel

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)

• Located after the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC)

• Similar to a small incinerator that burns off particulates in the exhaust gas after they have left the combustion chamber

• “Scrubs” the black smoke in the exhaust gases

• Periodically cleans itself through a process known as regeneration or “burnoff”

– Passive regeneration burns off soot naturally when exhaust

temperatures are high enough

– Active regeneration (forced burnoff)

occurs as needed, dependent on operational use

• Exhaust temperature at the tailpipe is the same as current diesels

SD Pickups

DOC

F-250/F-350/F-450

Diesel Engine Maintenance

DPF

Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) Fuel

• ULSD fuel MUST be used in 6.4L to allow the emissions control system, including the DPF to operate properly

• ULSD fuel may be used in pre-2007 diesel engines

• Sulfur level reduced by 97 percent compared to conventional diesel (from maximum of 500 parts per million [ppm] to 15 ppm)

Oil Requirement

• Oil that meets the new American Petroleum Institute (API) service category CJ-4 is required for the 6.4L diesel engine to operate properly

• CJ-4 service standard oil must be used to keep the engine warranty in effect

• CJ-4 oil may be used in pre-2007 engines

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)

• Dual 440mm EGR coolers have an air oxidation catalyst that scrubs exhaust gases from the air

• The catalyst protects the coolers from fouling and the EGR valve from deposits

• EGR valve is self-cleaning

• Engine control module monitors the EGR valve, checking for buildup that can prevent the valve from seating properly

• If buildup is detected, the ECM takes steps to clean the valve seat

Be sure your customers are aware of the new maintenance requirements and service intervals of the new 6.4L Power Stroke V-8 turbo diesel.

• Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel must be used in the 6.4L to allow the emissions control system, including the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to operate properly

• CJ-4 service standard oil must be used when the engine oil is serviced

• Fuel-water separator should be drained monthly to avoid possible water in the fuel injectors

• Engine block heater should be used at temperatures below –10 degrees F (–23 degrees C) to ensure proper engine lubrication on start-up

• Recommend using biodiesel that is no higher than 5 percent (B5) to ensure optimum fuel economy. Follow the special

operating conditions maintenance schedule if using biodiesel

• Refer customers to the Diesel Engine Maintenance DVD in the Owner’s Guide package

• For the California Heavy-duty Diesel Engine Idle Requirement, guidance from California and compliance with this requirement is still being finalized. Dealers will be informed of the updates to this requirement once it has been completed

Service Intervals

• 10,000-mile normal and 5000-mile special operating conditions oil-change intervals — new oil specification CJ-4 required for 6.4L to operate properly

• 20,000-mile normal and 10,000-mile special operating conditions fuel-filter change intervals — both fuel filters must be replaced according to maintenance intervals

4x4 Systems

Manual Shift with Manual Locking Hubs

• Simple, reliable design that is highly regarded by serious off-roaders

• To engage the front axle, the operator must stop, exit the vehicle and rotate both hublock selector knobs to the LOCK position, then the desired drive range is selected on the transfer case

• Floor-mounted transfer case shift lever is used to move between available drive settings: 2H (2WD), 4H (4x4 High), N (Neutral) and 4L (4x4 Low)

• When the hublocks are returned to the FREE position, the drive axle components do not rotate while driving, which reduces wear and frictional drag

Manual-locking

Front Hub

Electronic Shift-on-the-fly System

• Easy-to-use rotary control switch mounted in the instrument panel used to select drive settings, eliminating the need to stop and back up to unlock the front hubs

• Electric motor actually shifts the transfer case into selected drive setting

• Front hublock selectors are marked with AUTO and LOCK. Manual override capability lets the driver manually LOCK hubs if preferred, but the Pulse Vacuum Hublock (PVH) design engages the front hubs, providing virtually silent operation

• PVH system optimizes fuel economy because all front driveline components are disconnected at the wheels when the system is in 2WD operation

NOTE: Both of these 4x4 systems are “part-time” systems designed to provide enhanced traction on reduced traction surfaces only. Operating on normal or high-traction surfaces can result in transfer case damage, increased tire wear and decreased fuel economy.

Traction Control

• Optional on 4x2 and 4x4 models

• Helps improve traction or limits wheel spin on slippery or loose driving surfaces

• Reduces engine power through fuel cutoff or ignition spark control

• Uses engine torque to manage wheel spin, a more precise method than brakecontrolled traction systems

• Computes wheel spin from the differential and reduces torque to match the best traction to the wheels for that terrain

• System may be disabled when it’s not needed

Large, Responsive Braking System

• Excellent stopping distance and predictable brake performance

• Large calipers and rotors

• Vented front and rear rotors

• Four-wheel disc Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with excellent low-speed resolution

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

• TPMS uses a tire pressure sensor mounted to a metal band and banded in the wheel’s drop well

• Sensors use radio frequency transmitters to send tire pressure information to the vehicle’s onboard computer

• The computer illuminates a warning light and sounds an audible tone when tire pressure is significantly low

• System is completely hidden from sight and uses a standard rubber valve stem

• Can be used on steel or aluminum wheels

• Replacing the tire can be easily done without removing the sensor

• TPMS provides a more accurate tire pressure reading because it measures actual tire pressure as opposed to wheel speed like the Low Tire Warning System

• Senses temperature-based pressure loss where all four wheels are affected

• Resetting the system is easy. Once tire pressure has been restored to its recommended level, TPMS-equipped vehicles simply need to be driven over 20 mph for at least 2 minutes to be reset

• Standard on SRW units built on or after 7/30/07

Customer Action Required

Check tire pressure to ensure proper inflation. Ford recommends a digital or dial-type tire pressure gauge for increased accuracy.

• After inflating cold tires to manufacturer’s recommended pressure as shown on the tire label, the vehicle must be driven for at least 2 minutes at over 20 mph to turn the light off and reset the system

• If the light remains on even after these steps have been taken, have the system inspected by the dealership Service Department

NOTE: If the outside overnight temperature is significantly lower than the daytime temperature, tire pressure may decrease 1 psi for every 10 degrees F in temperature change. This may cause the TPMS warning to illuminate. If all tires appear to be inflated, customers should manually check the pressure and inflate all the tires to the recommended cold pressure.

• Driving on the spare tire may activate the TPMS warning light, causing it to flash for 75 seconds followed by a solid light. Repair the damaged road wheel and remount it on the vehicle. Reset the TPMS by driving at over 20 mph for at least 2 minutes

• If the tires are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure and the spare tire is not in use, have the system inspected by the Service Department

ENGINEERING INSIGHT: Powertrain Testing

The team that developed the new 6.4L Power Stroke® V-8 turbo diesel gathered real-world data from working Super Duty commercial customers. They used this data to develop durability tests that were more representative of real-life work cycles. The tests used the most extreme and abusive conditions and ran to five times the life cycle of the hardestworking truck. As a result, more than 500 design improvements were made to improve diesel performance and durability.
