Roush’s Super Duty performance upgrades for the Ford
F-250 and F-350 pickup trucks have been unveiled, carrying the tuner’s
3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty. You can get the upgrade
regardless of whether you own a Heavy Duty F-Series equipped with the 6.2-liter
Flex Fuel V8 petrol or the 6.7-liter PowerStroke Turbo Diesel V8. The former is
good for 385 HP and 583 Nm of torque, whereas the latter puts down
450 HP and 1,267 Nm of torque.
However, the diesel also come with a
high-performance Roush DPF-Back Exhaust System, which is said to improve
exhaust flow and features dual custom 5-inch tips for some extra visual
aggressiveness. Other mechanical improvements include the advanced Roush/Fox 2.0
Performance Series Suspension System with upgraded front and rear shocks and a
leveling kit.
Buyers also benefit from 20-inch custom off-road
wheels with two options of colored trim rings for bead protection. As for
tires, you get high-performance BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 rubber, ideal
for tackling rough terrain.
As for aesthetic and utility upgrades, the 2019
Roush Super Duty adds a signature Roush front grille with accent lighting,
body-color fender flares with accent lighting, square ‘R’ hitch cover and a
front bumper cover compatible with the truck’s active cruise control.
The tuner can also improve on Ford’s new Lariat
Sport trim package, which boasts black fender badges, halogen headlights with
blackout surrounds and body-color bumpers – hence the multiple available
graphics packages.
Last, the cabin features custom Roush
headrest embroidery, a unique serialized console badge, custom floor liners by
WeatherTech and a custom gauge cluster on diesel versions. Pricing for Roush’s Super Duty
upgrade starts at US$ 15,685 over factory MSRP, with features like the off-road
utility kit or the Console Vault costing extra.
