2018 Ford Chassis Cab F-350 XL Crew Cab DRW

Todays Ford Super Duty cab is made of high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy thats lighter than steel yet incredibly strong. And the fully boxed under-cab and C-channel aft-of-cab frame is built of 95 percent high-strength steel. That means hauling and towing capability you can depend on to deliver every workday.

The electrical system in todays vehicles is more complex than ever. Even a simple brake light is tied into what is known as the vehicles Controller Area Network (CAN). Which is why its so important for upfitters to be able to properly and consistently connect their electrical equipment to the CAN busses or ports. 2017 Super Duty makes this job easier with its available class-exclusive* factory-installed programmable upfitter interface module that allows a direct CAN programmable logic interface to control devices quickly and simply using a laptop or notebook.

Available SYNC 3 is our easy-to-use, responsive voice-activated technology. Experience the capacitive touchscreen with impressive responsiveness. Locate your favorite restaurants with simple destination entry via the available navigation. Youll also find a sleek user-friendly interface to help you connect to and control your smartphone. SYNC 3 also brings you the power of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility to your Ford.

The latest generation of the available 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 delivers 330 horsepower and 750 lb.-ft. of torque the highest power and torque ratings ever in a Super Duty Class 3-5 chassis cab. The Power Stroke features a unique inverse-flow configuration, with the turbocharger between the cylinder heads on top of the block, and the exhaust manifold inboard and close to the turbocharger for fast air intake and more power.

Take the features that make the Super Duty Chassis Cab tougher than the previous generation the fully boxed under-cab and C-channel aft-of-cab frame built of 95 percent high-strength steel. Then throw in the heftier components of the suspension, chassis and driveline. Now add the outstanding hauling and towing capabilities of this Super Duty and youve got the highest gross combination weight rating 40,000 pounds of any Class 3-5 chassis cab built today.

Features may include:

• Torque rules in big work trucks pulling big loads. And no other gas-powered Class 3-5 chassis cab delivers as much torque (430 lb.-ft.) as the Super Duty 6.2L V8, standard in the F-350. The 6.2L has tuning and camshaft configurations designed to increase peak torque at lower rpm, generating high torque output. The optional Live-Drive power takeoff (PTO) provision with Mobile Mode is available with the 6.2L engine.

• The Ford TorqShift SelectShift 6-speed automatic transmission delivers high-torque performance and dependability. Big, strong gears can easily handle the heavy torque demands of the turbo diesel and gas engines. Fewer rpm are required because the torque converter locks up at lower speeds. The TorqShift offers SelectShift and Tow/Haul features. SelectShift has two modes: Progressive Range Select that limits the range of gears to lock out overdrive, plus Full Manual control. Tow/Haul selects the gear that minimizes gear hunting on uphills. On a downhill, it keeps the vehicle from upshifting and gaining speed, reducing reliance on brake pressure to slow down.
