By Ford may not be the most avant-garde company when it comes to passenger cars but in the truck segment, it definitely sets new standards, permanently. Of course, the base light-duty F-150 has been the best-selling truck for years, but Super Duty series is also by far the most popular models among HD trucks. One of the most representative models in this class is the F-350. It is a highly capable truck which offers superior performances but also provides an amazing level of comfort. The current-generation models came about two years ago.

Still, some minimal tweaks in terms of new color options and similar things are highly possible. Expect to see 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty by the end of the year.
2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty Design
In terms of base design characteristics, this is a classic heavy-duty truck. It stands in the middle of Ford’s Super Duty lineup, between entry-level F-250 and top-range F-450, which seems easy to figure out by model’s designation. The relatively recent redesign has brought a lot of improvements. The new model offers better performances, a higher level of comfort and better overall quality. Of course, there is a new styling, which is in this case pretty distinctive, not only compared to the F-150 but to rest of the Super Duty lineup as well.
The interior design seems pretty upscale as well, especially if you choose some of the higher trim levels. In that case, you can count on a cabin that is not just more car-like than before, but also comes with plenty of quality materials, soft on touch, and with a full load of tech features.
