Ford Super Duty: 2008 Truck of the Year

In a world gone mad with hybrids, it’s nice to know that the Super Duty is still Super. Here is the King of Trucks, with a 6.4-liter turbo diesel engine that generates 650 lb.-ft. of torque and offers more max towing (24,500 lbs.) and payload (6,000 lbs.) capacity than most towns would ever need. You could probably tow all the hybrids sold in Texas with just one Super Duty pickup and still fill the bed with bricks. Inside, the driving experience is exceedingly comfortable and the design says, through gritty teeth and with a growl: Welcome to truck country, boy. Ain’t no Toyotas here. Yet.
