2018 Ford Superduty near Charlotte NC
Vehicle Overview
Whether we're talking about the F-250, 350, 0r 450, the Ford Superduty is the ultimate heavy-duty pickup for the Charlotte area. These trucks have the greatest and latest tech, and they can be outfitted or stripped down as need dictates. Largely unchanged from last year, the biggest difference in the 2018 Ford Superduty is the all-new Limited trim, which, when well optioned, can approach six digits. If a driver needs an all-purpose, heavy-duty truck that can get the job done, they should visit Cloninger Ford of Hickory, a dealership serving Charlotte North Carolina, to look at Ford's new Super Duty trucks.
2018 Ford Superduty's Exterior
If the conventional F-150 is Bruce Banner, the Super Duty is his alter ego, the Hulk. Despite the Super Duty's bold aluminum body and beefy design elements, there's a resemblance. Along with its well-appointed interior, the Limited comes with a satin and chrome twin-bar grille, special badging, and upgraded LED lighting. For this year, the Superduty comes in three different cab sizes, much like its lighter-duty brethren. The truck's stout exterior is accentuated by options such as assist steps, a panoramic sunroof, and power-adjustable towing mirrors that include LED spotlights. Ford's purists will be surprised to see that the fender badges are now vertical rather than horizontal.
2018 Ford Superduty's Interior
The 2018 Superduty is the perfect combination of form and function, which is a radical shift from the barren cabins of past heavy-duty pickup trucks. For this year, the Super Duty Limited's interior is on par with those of some of the world's best luxury cars. The premier trim comes with exclusive touches such as two-tone leather upholstery, wood trim, microsuede headliner, and other classy additions. However, even stripped-down models provide an ergonomically sound environment with durable materials and easy-to-use controls. With a step up to the 2018 Lariat edition, shoppers in the Charlotte area get leather seats, power adjustable equipment, and better tech.
On the Lariat and above, the automaker provides its eight-inch touchscreen Sync3 infotainment system; it is optional in the XLT and the XL. Controls are simple and easy to use, and the gauge cluster on Lariat and higher-level trims allows drivers to monitor metrics such as trailer tire pressure and diesel exhaust fluid levels. The roomy cab can be outfitted with various accessory outlets, including two 110V plugs. Stop by Cloninger Ford of Hickory, which is serving Charlotte North Carolina, to experience the comfort and technological advancements for yourself.
2018 Ford Superduty's Mechanical/Powertrain
In the eternal battle for supremacy, the Power Stroke diesel engine found in some 2018 Ford Superduty models puts out a whopping 925 lb. ft. of torque. The engine is mated to a solid six-speed auto transmission, and the duo has a maximum tow rating of 32,500 pounds. Ford has improved the Power Stroke's turbocharger, fuel delivery system, and controls to make the engine more responsive and quieter. Once it's underway, the engine is rather subdued, but it's highly responsive to low-speed throttle inputs.
However, the standard engine is no slouch. This 385hp, 6.2L V8 puts out 430 lb. ft. of torque and buyers have the optional CNG/Propane Engine Prep package to consider if they want more fuel choices. F-250s without a diesel engine route their power through an all-new six-speed auto transmission.
2018 Ford Superduty's Safety Features
Although this year's Super Duty has not received any new driver assistance or safety features, it's still the only heavy-duty truck to have advanced features like auto emergency braking and smart cruise control. The crew cab version has inflatable seatbelts in the rear, which is exclusive to the class. Child seat installations are easy thanks to the roomy interior, and various driver assistance and active safety features increase the vehicle's safety credentials. The truck's blind spot warning system is highly functional, even when towing a trailer, and drivers can check a trailer's tire pressure via a monitor inside the cab. Super Duty trucks can be outfitted with a range of cameras: one on the rear of the cab, and one to be put on a trailer for an all-around view. The trailer reverse assistance system combines visual and video cues to help drivers back up safely.
