Colorado Ford Super Duty Dealer
Do you know the difference between the Ford F-150 and the Super Duty? As your Colorado Ford Super Duty dealer, we can tell you that it’s more than just a name. The F-150 is the cornerstone of Ford’s F-Series truck lineup and has rightly earned its reputation as the best-selling truck in America because of its sheer capability, versatility, and durability. The Super Duty capitalizes on this, taking everything we love about the F-150 and making it bigger and better.
Stronger, heavier, and mechanically more capable than the F-150, Ford’s Super Duty trucks are known for their ability to tow and haul heavy loads. They’re the most capable road warriors in Ford’s lineup and have been since their debut in the late 1990s. These early generations of the F-250, F-350, and F-450 set the stage for a new era of Super Duty trucks that you can find at The Faricy Boys Salida today. These trucks usher in a new generation of technology that extends the Super Truck’s capability, operability, and durability both inside and out.
Ford Super Duty: History
While Americans were dancing around in bell-bottoms and miniskirts to a new band called the Beatles in the 1960s, Ford worked to reengineer its best-selling F-Series truck to meet the growing demands of drivers across the country. The revolutionary design of the fourth-generation F-Series was truly remarkable and helped spread the popularity of these trucks. However, that decade also saw the use of the Ford Super Duty engine, a family of V8 engines that were introduced in 1958 to replace the Y-block V8 and deliver more power and capability. These Super Duty engines were not available in the F-Series trucks, instead powering large commercial vehicles, but the name proved popular.
The Super Duty name returned to the Ford lineup in the late 1990s when Ford changed how we shop for trucks. For the first time in history, Ford differentiated its best-selling F-150 from its bigger siblings, now known as the Super Duty lineup designed for hauling heavy loads. The differentiation didn’t stop there, however. Ford distinguished its Super Duty fleet by building the trucks at a separate assembly plant and on an entirely different platform. The lighter F-150 was no longer the same truck as the bigger F-250, F-350, and F-450, and Ford wanted everyone to know it.
The first-generation Super Duty was in production from 1999 to 2007 and immediately found a loyal customer base thanks to its capability and size. Larger than the F-150 in every aspect, the Super Duty also offered many firsts, including a dual-rear-wheel configuration with four-wheel drive. The Super Duty was the first truck in the class to offer shift-on-the-fly four-wheel-drive, which extended the truck’s capability, power, practicality, and versatility on every terrain from farms in the south and ranches in the midwest to snow-covered roads in the north.
The Super Duty continued to get better with age as Ford introduced the second generation (2008-2010), third generation (2011-2016), and fourth generation (2017-present). Each new generation of the Super Duty ushered in more powerful and efficient engines that boosted the heavy-duty trucks’ towing capabilities. They also introduced Ford drivers to a new realm of intuitive technology as Ford equipped each truck with the latest features available. Together, the Super Duty’s capability, technology, and comforts made the truck one of the best-selling models in its class and earned it high praise from drivers looking for reliable workhorses capable of getting any job done.

Find Your Super Duty at The Faricy Boys Salida
Ford introduced Americans to the Super Duty name in the early 1960s, but the moniker didn’t officially stick until the late 1990s when Ford distinguished the F-150 from its larger siblings. The Super Duty fleet was built on a larger and stronger platform than the F-150, ultimately differentiating the lighter road warrior from the larger workhorses. This designation changed how Americans shopped for trucks and separated the road warriors from the workhorses.
Today, that distinction continues with the newest Super Duty models, which are equipped with cutting-edge technology, greater capability, and a suite of modern conveniences. These features range from intuitive touchscreen displays and connectivity tools to trailering technology that’s designed to give you more confidence when towing a heavy load.
