Ford F-350: Standard V8 Towing
If
you have an exceptionally large trailer, the Ford F-350 is up to the
task with its standard 6.2L V8 engine. Even with the base engine of this
truck, you can expect up to 385 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque.
When paired with an available 10-speed automatic transmission, you can
achieve up to 16,700 pounds of towing capacity.
To
make the most out of this engine though, you're going to want to equip
your truck with the available 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel. You'll
be able to generate up to 475 horsepower and 1050 lb-ft of torque,
giving you a max towing capacity of up to 21,200 pounds.
F-350 was Engineered for Professionals
When
you need to customize your vehicle with equipment for your job, you can
count on the design of the Ford F-350. This truck features standard
Upfitter Switches, which allow you to easily operate any upfitted
equipment using factory installed switches. Whether you want to install
lights or third-party towing equipment, using those tools can be done
from your cabin.
In
order to make the upfitting process as easy as possible, drivers can
also equip this truck with an available Upfitter Interface Module.
Instead of having to cut into the wiring of your vehicle, you'll have an
easy-to-use interface to install any electronics you need nice and
smoothly.
Extensive Safety Features with the F-350
If
you need to drive a heavy-duty truck through a busy road, you're going
to want to have a vehicle that's prepared with all sorts of safety
features. The Ford F-350 offers an available Pre-Collision Assist with
Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning. If you're
coming close to another vehicle, your truck can bring you to a stop to
help prevent an accident.
You
can even have your truck equipped with an available BLIS® Blind Spot
Information System with Trailer Coverage. This system actively works to
detect other cars in your blind spot, and it will even monitor your
trailer. Driving down the highway will be much easier thanks to the
situational awareness offered by this feature.
