Truck pr0n: 2008 Ford Super-Duty

We want a 2008 Ford Super Duty truck. Badly. And the hell of it is, we really don’t need one at all. It’s just that after seeing the things up-close and in person at NAIAS last week, we can’t help but think that the massive, ultra brawny-looking top-tier Fords are just about the coolest thing since the Atari 2600 we got for Christmas when we could count our age using just the fingers on our two hands.
The top-line F-450 has a maximum towing capacity of 24,000 pounds. Excluding Eric, who actually uses his truck to do truck-like things, the most we’ll tow on a semi-regular basis is the rented log splitter from Home Depot. With that in mind, the towing capacity of the F-450 causes us to create a mental image of one of the beastly machines pulling a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier through the Panama Canal. (Yes, we’re exaggerating. Don’t blow our fantasy here, OK)
The Super Duty runs on premium-grade T85, a blend of 85 ground up Toyota Tundra and 15 pure alcohol. Okay, not really. But admit it — you almost believed that, for such is the level of its sublime badassedness. If we had one of these, we’d go actively looking for stumps to pull. Or maybe a whole tree. Or maybe an entire forest in one fell swoop.
For now, though, we’re simply going to ogle our new gallery of high-resolution Super Duty Truck pr0n that Ford just released. If you’d like to know what the trucks are really capable of, the full press release from Ford is included after the jump.
