2011 Ford F-350 4x4 Pickup Truck Review - About - News & Issues
First Glance at the F-350 4x4 Crew Cab Truck. Ford wants to make sure that everyone knows you're driving a Super Duty, so they changed the F-350's front end. A gigantic Ford blue oval claims attention front and center, advertising the brand for the world to see. My test vehicle came with the 6. 75' bed and Crew Cab, riding on a 156. 2" wheelbase. There's an 8' bed version with a 172. 4" wheelbase available, too, as well as a SuperCab with short or long bed and a Regular Cab, which only gets the 8' bed. Each bed is smartly dimensioned at 50. 9" wide between the wheel wells, 69. 3" wide at the maximum and 20" deep. My test vehicle wore a coat of factory-applied spray in bedliner ($450) and a stowable bed extender ($250), two essential features (especially with the short bed). The tailgate was also equipped with Ford's nifty tailgate step ($450), which earned oohs and aahs every time I demonstrated it to friends. My test vehicle came with the King Ranch package of options ($445), inspired by the Texas outfit that is famous for its leather work. Chromed tubular cab steps were essential in mounting the tall heated driver's seat. Source: trucks.about.com
