How Do You Use Your Ford Super Duty?
NOV
08

You probably bought your Ford Super Duty with something special in mind for its usage. If it’s a work truck, how does it help you do your job better? How do you push its limits? At Ford Social, we enjoy hearing Your Stories, so do tell us how you outfitted your truck and what line of work it’s in! And now there is another place for you to experience how others are using their F-Series trucks in the field, and you can even share stories about your own pickup.

Over at We Own Work, you’ll find videos of workers’ trucks and how they are being put to use at job sites. In fact, we learned that 74 percent of metal mining workers, 75 percent of road maintenance workers and 60 percent of utility workers all use Super Duty trucks! The videos are hosted by Mike Rowe of “Dirty Jobs.”

Once you’ve gone through the videos, you have the option of sharing your own stories about your Super Duty, and some of the best might just end up being selected to be filmed for additional Mike Rowe videos on the site! Also, the site is programmed so that all functionality and animation are available for Apple iPad users.

Based on a template that resembles a baseball trading card, visitors can create their own card to reflect the tough job their Super Duty helps them complete. Cards contain information like mileage, industry, region and tough facts about their truck and their job. Users also can upload an image of the truck they use. Once finished, they can embed the card in the website, share it on Twitter or Facebook, or print it.

The cards can be sorted by industry, year, region and toughness so the online community can scroll through the trucks to vote for the one they deem the toughest. The cards with the most votes for toughness will appear closest to the top.

Mark McMakin I recently towed 9000lbs from Washington State, across country to South Carolina with my 2009 F-350, it did an amazing job, set CC on 70 and relax, the 6.4L Power Stroke is super strong and still averaged >10MPG, as high as 12MPG on flat ground while towing 9000#.

Ron Brueske Nice truck, works well, just don't try to trade your $55,000 plus truck in, Ford dealers say it is only worth between $19000 - $21,000. Even though they are selling those same model year trade-ins for $36,000 plus.

Michael McLain Like most owners of large trucks I enjoy tailgating people in smaller cars, blowing diesel smoke through crowded intersections, and generally making parking difficult for other normal car and truck owners at supermarkets and other suburban outlet malls near where I live.

The sides of the truck bed need to be cut off at about 2 inches above the top of the fenders on the outside. Lower sides on the bed would allow a person to reach over the sides to load and unload easily. This is a real problem with the 4x4 F-250 Super Duty. It is a tall vehicle. This would help greatly when pulling goose neck trailers and campers, expecially when you are on rough ground. The back corners of the bed will get into the trailer from time to time when you are on rough ground. You would be able to stand on the ground and reach into the bed and tie down your load with out climbing into the bed of the truck. The truck bed should have D-rings on the inside of the bed and on the top rail of the bed. The bed is not much use (for looks only) if you cannot tie your load down. Objects in the bed become mobile and dangerous when on rough ground or in an accident. DOT officers will get nasty on you for not securing a load your hauling. Truck beds are not set up for that now. The working man needs your help. I want to see this done. NOT to Chevy or Dodge. Make the Ford a real work truck. Able to haul a load safely. Thanks, loyal Super Duty owner, John Layton
