| What Ford says |

According to Ben Poore, marketing manager for Ford's truck division, "The Super Duty customer isn't the guy who buys a pickup because it's cool to have a pickup. These guys are working with this truck. They're hauling and towing, often earning their living with these trucks, and their truck has to be as reliable and dependable as they are."Speaking specifically of the most robust F-450 model, Super Duty's chief engineer, Pete Reyes, adds, "The increased towing and cargo hauling capability, the engine enhancements and all the refinements make the F-450 absolutely the most capable pickup truck we've ever built – period. And that is exactly what our customers are asking for." Photos courtesy of Ford Motor Company

About Thom Blackett
Thom Blackett joined Autobytel in 2000 as a Research Analyst with the company's data division, Automotive Information Center (AIC). After four years of pouring through press kits searching for minute details, Thom jumped to Autobytel's editorial team. Born and raised in the state of Maine (no, it's not part of Canada and yes, the proper pronunciation of lobster is "lobstah"), Thom has always been a car nut, using his grandmother's potholders as steering wheels to "drive" around the house as a youngster. His biggest sorrow is never getting to know his grandfather's 1959 Caddy, or the '62 Impala Convertible and '69 Chevy Malibu that his parents once owned. As Autobytel's Road Test Editor, Thom strives to write articles that serve to inform as well as entertain. A proud member of the Motor Press Guild, Thom holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Maine. Comments may be emailed to thomb@autobytel.com.
