Ford recently gave five F-Series Super Duty professional users a first-hand look at the torture testing engineers put the pickup through during the development process. 

Each participant represented an industry where workers trust F-Series Super Duty more than any other truck to get the job done, including forestry; manufacturing; highway maintenance; electric, gas and sanitation; and oil and gas extraction.

The top five categories by percentage who use Super Duty trucks to get their work done include:

• 58 percent of electric, gas and sanitation workers.
• 50 percent of forestry workers.
• 50 percent of oil and gas extraction workers.
• 48 percent of heavy construction workers.
• 42 percent of manufacturing workers.

Participants also learned about how weight savings from high-strength steel and high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy are reinvested to create a Super Duty that can tow and haul more with new driver-assist technology developed specially for heavy-duty truck customers, according to Ford.
