As a commercial fleet operator in BC, your truck faces harsh conditions and challenging loads every day.

That truck is the 2021 Ford F-350.This 2021 Super Duty truck is made with a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body that is light in weight, yet remarkably strong. The body is also hardened through heat treating for even greater strength, while the body and cargo box are rust-resistant to eliminate corrosion and ensure longevity.
This durability also extends to the F-350’s driveshafts, transfer cases and U-joints, which are beefed up to handle the Super Duty’s massive torque output. Additionally, an electromagnetic clutch in the 4WD transfer case ensures smooth and immediate shifting capabilities in difficult conditions when extra traction is needed.

A large truck towing a heavy trailer can be challenging to bring to a halt, which is why the 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty has Diesel Engine Exhaust Braking available for BC drivers. This operator-activated system makes any hauling experience safer and more in control.The Exhaust Braking system comes as a part of the 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel Engine. It works by restricting the flow of waste gases to create back pressure that is then used to slow down the truck smoothly—which is especially ideal for heading down slopes.
Furthermore, because you no longer need to press the pedals as often, brake fade and lining wear reductions come along as another bonus. And with three modes—On, Off, or Auto—BC drivers can choose the setting that works best for them.
