Ford Super Duty

Ford launched the Super Duty for the 1999 model year, creating a purpose-built platform for its F-250 and heavier trucks that was distinct from the F-150. This new chassis supported heavier components and more powerful engines, including the highly regarded 7.3L Power Stroke diesel. Subsequent generations introduced more powerful engines like the 6.7L "Scorpion" Power Stroke and added significant technology and luxury features.

Collectors and enthusiasts gravitate toward specific models, particularly the 1999-2003 trucks equipped with the 7.3L Power Stroke diesel. These are valued for their durability and relative mechanical simplicity before stricter emissions controls were implemented. Unmodified, low-mileage examples from rust-free regions and special editions like the King Ranch or Harley-Davidson are also highly desirable.

The market for Super Duty trucks is vast, with over 1,000 recent sales showing an average price of $26,475. While high-mileage work trucks occupy the low end, pristine early models and loaded new trucks can sell for well over six figures. The market's strength is driven by both nostalgia for older, simpler trucks and demand for the immense capability of the latest models.

Prices range from a few thousand dollars for well-used work trucks to $353,000 for pristine, modified, or top-spec new models.
