Ford builds the top seller for every truck segment, compact, full-size and super-size. The line's leader — the full-size F-150 — year after year, out-paces all other nameplates as the top-selling vehicle in America. Trucks in Ford's 2008 collection are divided into light-duty and heavy-duty models, with strong powertrains on tap and unique variations available. The Super Duty work trucks also emerge with new designs and class-capping tow ratings.

F-150
Ford's full-size and light-duty (half-ton) F-150 trucks skew to many trims with V6 or V8 engines, and three different four-door, cab styles. Two-wheel-drive (2WD) traction is standard, but four-wheel-drive (4WD) is available across the board. The powertrains include a 4.6-liter Triton V8 pumping 248 horsepower, with a flexible-fuel E85 option for Ford's 300-horsepower 5.4-liter Triton V8. There's also new gear available, like a factory-installed Cargo Management System for the truck box, or a Rearview Camera System with a video display in the rearview mirror of the truck's rearward path. New trims like the Lariat Limited and the XL SuperCrew add even more choices.

F-250 Super Duty
Super Duty is Ford's descriptive for its super-sized work trucks. A new generation of designs for 2008 brings refined chassis with stronger suspensions and beefy brakes. There are also options for three big engines and overall boosted capacity with tow ratings climbing way up to 24,500 pounds. Both rear-powered 2WD and 4WD traction modes apply to the F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks with SuperCab and Crew Cab variations. Ford's Triton 5.4-liter V8 produces 300 horsepower, while the Triton V10 moves up to 362 horsepower. Ford's Power Stroke Turbo Diesel 6.4-liter V8 musters 350 horspower, plus 650 lb-ft of torque.

Ranger
Revised front bumpers on Ford's compact trucks improve aerodynamics and fuel economy for 2008. The Ranger trims as the L, XLT, Sport and FX4 Off-Road, with cab styles of a two-door regular cab plus a two-door or four-door SuperCab. Three engines are also available, including a 2.3-liter four-pack base plant making 143 horsepower. The 3.0-liter V6 rises to 148 horsepower, while the 4.0-liter V6 scores 207 horsepower. A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and SecuriLock anti-theft device are stock items on all 2008 Rangers, along with four-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS) and frontal air bags. The New Grabber Orange exterior paint highlights Ranger's bold style.
