Ford Super Duty

Who says you can’t get luxury style in a work truck?  Ford completely bucks that trend with their Super Duty truck lineup.  In fact, they offer the kind of features you’d expect to find in a luxury auto or well-equipped mainstream offering.

The adaptive cruise control uses radar to measure the distance and speed of vehicles ahead, then automatically slows the truck and trailer to maintain that preset distance at speeds above 20 miles per hour, using the engine brake to assist drivers towing heavy trailers. It's one of numerous driver assistance and tech features Ford piled on in its recent redesign of the Super Duty, and part of a trend toward higher-tech trucks. The Super Duty's adaptive cruise control is working like in a passenger auto - it keeps a set speed and distance from the vehicle in front - but it also works when a trailer gets attached.

"Towing is core to the Super Duty mission, and drivers will appreciate the engineering sophistication that enables adaptive cruise control to determine speed uphill and downhill with a trailer", says Craig Schmatz, Ford Super Duty chief engineer.

Adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support. The 2017 Super Duty will also be available with Trailer Reverse Guidance, a system that uses seven cameras and real time coaching to make maneuvering a trailer easier. Also available is lane-departure warning, which vibrates the steering wheel to mimic rumble strips when the driver begins to drift over a lane marker. The all-new Ford Super Duty is on the cusp of fulltime production and arrival at dealerships around the country. Availability of other features will be detailed closer to the truck's launch. We can’t wait.
