A new spotter’s guide from JimVreelandFordParts.com features many of the slight detail changes made to the Ford Super Duty over the generations. The graphic offers tips on how to identify which model you’re looking at, even if you’ve only got the front end to work with.
“We all know that Super Dutys have been modified over the years,” says Tom Madden, parts manager at JimVreelandFordParts.com. “We wanted to point out two or three changing features anyone could spot with a little attention. To all the Ford Super Duty enthusiasts out there, we hope you enjoy the resource as much as we enjoyed making it.”
The Ford Super Duty is part of the best-selling line of trucks for the 42nd year in a row.
Here are some highlights from the spotter’s guide:
- If the truck behind you has turn signals under the headlights, a slightly rounded bumper, and no identifying “Super Duty” that you can see, it’s most likely a 10thgeneration F-series truck.
- The 2011 F-250, F-350, and the rest of the Super Duty line-up were the first to gain a drop-center bumper and a large air dam.
- If the headlights look like a couple of Cs hugging the grille, you’re looking at one of the newer models – 2017 through the upcoming 2020 model. The true distinction is in the grille design.
“It wasn’t until we had all of this laid out in front of us that we realized how much Ford has redesigned the front end since 1999,” says Madden. “We’ll have to do one 20 years from now to compare those differences.”
