2010 F-SERIES SUPER DUTY REMAINS TOUGH TRUCK OF CHOICE FOR COMMERCIAL AND PERSONAL USE CUSTOMERS
•Industry exclusive Ford Work Solutions™ technology keeps tabs on the job site and on your tools•New Tough Bed spray-in bedliner (subject to late availability) protects the truck bed from damage and provides customers wîth the security of a factory-applied product
•SYNC® wîth Traffic, Directions and Information helps owners avoid backups, find their way to the job site and get the best price on gas or diesel
For 2010 the F-Series Super Duty lineup continues as the benchmark in the heavy-duty pickup §egmènt from the 's truck leader. An unparalleled variety of cab styles and tow/payload capacities mean Super Duty customers can configure exactly the truck they need; by grouping that variety into a handful of full-featured packages, Ford has made picking a Super Duty easier.
Ford also has expanded its relationship wîth Cabela's, the world's largest outdoor outfitter, by offering a new Cabela's trim level. The truck features not only a unique two-tone paint scheme, but specially embossed interior features and – for the avid outdoor enthusiast – additional lockable storage perfect for keeping equipment secure and out of sight.
All four Super Duty trim levels – XL, XLT, Cabela's and Lariat – come wîth a host of standard features for 2010, from air conditioning, SecuriLock® and power-heated trailer tow mirrors to privacy glass, an integrated trailer brake controller and remote keyless entry.
Technology to Make Work – And Play – EasierThe -exclusive PowerScope™ side mirrors, power-fold and power-telescope, which enhance the towing experience, are now standard on some Super Duty models, as is the reverse camera system and SYNC, Ford's -first, voice-activated hands-free communications and entertainment system.
For 2010, SYNC has been expanded to include Traffic, Directions and Information, an application that leverages -leading voice-recognition software, integrated GPS technology, and a customer's Bluetooth®-capable mobile phone. SYNC's new applications provide simple hands-free access to personalized traffic reports, precise turn-by-turn driving directions and up-to-date information including business listings, news, sports, and weather.
Ford Work Solutions™, which features an in-dash computer that provides full high-speed Internet and wireless accessories that include a mouse and printer; Tool Link, a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) asset tracking system that enables customers to maintain a real-time inventory of tools or equipment stored in the vehicle; Crew Chief, a fleet telematics and diagnostics system; and Cable Lock security system to secure large tools or equipment in the cargo area.
Ford also offers Tough Bed, a unique, military-grade, factory-installed, spray-in bedliner on the 2010 F-Series Super Duty (subject to late availability). The polyol-based elastomeric film and isocyanate hardener are applied to the pickup box by a precision high-pressure automated sprayer to ensure one thin, smooth, even coat – unlike the traditional hand-spray application of aftermarket bedliners.
The finer application ensures the bedliner materials won't run or sag on the inside walls of the box, and also minimizes unnecessary weight. Its uniformly textured surface also helps minimize load slippage while delivering a premium appearance.

Cabela's FX4
Ford is expanding its relationship wîth Cabela's, the world's largest outdoor outfitter, by offering a new Cabela's FX4 package for 2009. According to customer data, seventy-six percent of F-Series buyers hunt and fish and a key way for Ford to connect wîth those outdoor enthusiasts is as the official truck of Cabela's for the last six years wîth products prominently placed at stores nationwide and featured in Cabela's publications and TV programming. The Cabela's FX4 package features a unique two-tone paint scheme in five colors: Ebony, Oxford White, Forest Green Metallic, Royal Red Metallic and Silver Metallic wîth Sterling Grey Metallic lower body accents, running boards and wheel lip moldings. Custom mud flaps and unique Cabela's badging finish off the exterior.
The interior features standard cloth seats wîth the Cabela's logo or available Aniline leather seats wîth a unique two-tone embossed grain pattern. The center stack is finished wîth a dark Paldeo wood appliqué. All weather floor mats also wear the Cabela's logo. And for the avid outdoor enthusiast, additional lockable storage in the front console and underneath the rear seats is perfect for keeping equipment secure and out of sight.Harley-Davidson™ F-450
Ford and Harley-Davidson team up again for a new Harley-Davidson™ F-450, the 'Big Hog Daddy' of the road. As wîth the still available F-250/350 SRW models, each individually numbered Harley-Davidson™ F-450 features a unique blue-flame paint scheme that starts at the side vents and runs down to the box side of the truck. The flame design scheme is carried through to the interior gauges in the instrument panel. The custom perforated black leather wrapped seats, door panels and center console cover reveal blue leather underneath giving the same blue-flame effect as the exterior. Harley-Davidson™ badges are present on the fenders and tailgate, along wîth 'Harley-Davidson' script located on the box side.
Tough BedFord is offering Tough Bed, a unique, military-grade, factory-installed, spray-in bed liner for the first time on the 2009 F-Series Super Duty.
'Tough Bed is a smart solution for Ford Super Duty customers who want to better protect their most important asset – the pickup box,' said Tom Aubrey, Ford F-Series Super Duty marketing manager. 'Like the entire truck, Tough Bed stands up to the most stringent durability standards including those required by the Ú.S. Military – that definitely makes it 'Built Ford Tough.'.'
According to the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), installation of spray-in bedliners grew from 27 percent in 2004 to nearly 34 percent of all pickup trucks in 2006, and will continue to grow at a steady rate to nearly 40 percent in 2008.
Developed in partnership wîth PPG Industries, Tough Bed exceeds the standards of today's typical aftermarket spray-in bedliner solutions. This military-grade coating has been through the government's toughest blast mitigation testing to determine whether the material can wîth stand the force of a bomb blast. It has performed equal to or better than other protective coating systems at one-third the thickness.The polyol-based elastomeric film and isocyanate hardener are applied to the pickup box by a precision, high-pressure, automated sprayer to ensure one smooth, even coat at a very low film thickness unlike the traditional hand-spray application of aftermarket bed liners.
The finer application ensures that the bedliner materials won't run or sag on the inside walls of the box in addition minimizing unnecessary weight. Tough Bed does not compromise Super Duty's class-leading cargo capacity or the installation of aftermarket assets such as tool boxes, tonneau covers and truck caps. The uniformly textured surface also helps minimize load slippage while delivering an exceptionally clean appearance.
The special bedliner material formula is immune to the effects of ultraviolet radiation and will not fade or chalk. It also protects against physical damage to the pickup box such as gouging, scratching, cracking and chipping. It is covered by a 3-year/36,000-mile factory limited warranty.
