Extra engine braking power helps reduce wear and tear on wheel brakes \u2013 especially on downhill grades.<\/p>\n<p>Adaptive cruise control is optional on Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum Super Duty pickups, including the mighty Ford F-450 Super Duty, Ford\u2019s most capable pickup.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Super Duty Beats All Trucks with Smart Technologies\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>BLIS with trailer coverage is another Super Duty class-exclusive feature. It uses radar hidden in the taillights to detect a vehicle entering a driver\u2019s blind spot while driving or backing up, and alerts the driver with a yellow light in the sideview mirror. For Super Duty, BLIS can extend to the back of the trailer, helping to make the driver aware of vehicles entering the trailer\u2019s blind spot.<\/p>\n<p>Another driver-assist technology, lane-departure warning, vibrates the steering wheel to mimic rumble strips when the driver begins to drift over a lane marker.<\/p>\n<p><b>Adaptive steering enhances maneuverability<br \/>\n<\/b>Another class-exclusive feature \u2013 adaptive steering \u2013 helps give Super Duty drivers more confidence to maneuver tight work sites and parking lots.<\/p>\n<p>Adaptive steering is a new generation of power steering technology that reduces the amount of steering input needed to change direction at low speeds. It also reduces sensitivity to steering input necessary at higher speeds and helps make towing the heaviest of loads easier.<\/p>\n<p>The technology changes the ratio between the driver\u2019s actions at the steering wheel \u2013 the number of turns \u2013 and how much the front wheels turn. Vehicles without the technology have a fixed ratio, but with adaptive steering, the ratio continually changes with vehicle speed, optimizing steering response in all conditions. Housed entirely within the steering wheel, the precision-controlled actuator \u2013 an electric motor and gearing system \u2013 can add to or subtract from a driver\u2019s inputs. The result is a more connected, engaging driving experience at all speeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Super Duty\u00a0beats all trucks in its class thanks to 17 class-exclusive features!
