The Ford Super Duty (also known as the Ford F-Series Super Duty) is a series of heavy-duty pickup trucks produced by the Ford Motor Company since the 1999 model year. Slotted above the consumer-oriented Ford F-150, the Super Duty trucks are an expansion of the Ford F-Series range, from F-250 to the F-600. The F-250 through F-450 are offered as pickup trucks, while the F-350 through F-600 are offered as chassis cabs.

Rather than adapting the lighter-duty F-150 truck for heavier use, Super Duty trucks have been designed as a dedicated variant of the Ford F-Series. The heavier-duty chassis components allow for heavier payloads and towing capabilities. With a GVWR over 8,500 lb (3,900 kg), Super Duty pickups are Class 2 and 3 trucks, while chassis-cab trucks are offered in Classes 3, 4, 5, and 6. The model line also offers Ford Power Stroke V8 diesel engines as an option.

Ford also offers a medium-duty version of the F-Series (F-650 and F-750), which is sometimes branded as the Super Duty, but is another chassis variant. The Super Duty pickup truck also served as the basis for the Ford Excursion full-sized SUV.

The Super Duty trucks and chassis-cabs are assembled at the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Kentucky, and at Ohio Assembly in Avon Lake, Ohio. Prior to 2016, medium-duty trucks were assembled in Mexico under the Blue Diamond Truck joint venture with Navistar International.

Common Ford F super duty problems

The Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks, including the F-250, F-350, and F-450, are known for their power and towing capabilities. However, they have faced several common problems based on complaints from owners.

One of the most prevalent issues is related to recalls, which have been a concern for the Super Duty trucks. These recalls have been due to problems with airbags, windshield wipers, trailer brake controls, and driveshafts fracturing.

Another common problem is the difficulty in navigating the Super Duty's infotainment system, with owners complaining about it often providing different results than commanded.

The engine is another area where the Super Duty trucks have faced problems. Engine troubles have been a significant issue, especially in the 2006 model, which is considered the worst iteration of the Ford F-250.

Suspension issues have also been a problem, with the 2006 and 2011 models being particularly susceptible to death wobble, hyper shaking, and shaking and loss of control.

In summary, the Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks have faced several common problems, including recalls, issues with the infotainment system, engine troubles, suspension problems, and steering difficulties. These issues have been reported by owners and have affected various models within the Super Duty lineup.
