And it showed in the sales figures, with over 15 million sold from 1908 to 1927.

The Ford Super Duty is an excellent choice as an off-roader, particularly when you might be pulling a heavy load or even hauling extra equipment. With a solid beam axle, the Super Duty offers better axle articulation and has superior durability. Another plus is the ability to then put on larger tires. The differential also locks the rear electronically which means the Super Duty handles even the toughest terrain.
