With camouflaged ATV riders and roaring motorcycles, Ford's President of the Americas, Mark Fields, introduced two new special edition Super
Duty models for 2009 at the State Fair of Texas — the Cabela's FX4 F-250/F-350 and Harley-Davidson
F-450 pickups.
Cabela's
FX4 Super Duty
The Cabela's FX4 Super Duty extends Ford's factory
off-road package with exterior and interior upgrades influenced by the
world's largest outdoor outfitter, Cabela's.
The exterior of the Cabela's FX4 features a two-tone paint scheme
available in one of five colors — Ebony, Oxford White, Forest Green
Metallic, Royal Red Metallic or Silver Metallic — contrasted with Sterling
Grey Metallic lower accents along the rocker panels, running boards and
wheel arch moldings. Special mud flaps and Cabela's badging round
out the exterior updates.
Inside,
the Cabela's Super Duty offers a choice of either cloth seats with the Cabela's
logo or two-tone leather chairs. The center stack is surrounded
by a dark Paldeo wood appliqué. The carpeting is protected
by all-weather floormats, and additional lockable storage is provided
in the front console and under the rear seats — to protect hunting and
camping gear purchased at Cabela's, no doubt.
Harley-Davidson
Edition F-450
Ford and Harley-Davidson have been building special-edition F-Series
pickups for almost a decade. Since 1999, the partnership has created
11 models, and the 12th iteration is the biggest and baddest one yet.
It's the Harley-Davidson F-450.
The Harley
F-450's exterior features blue flames that run the length of the
truck, plus unique blue and chromed plastic engine vents just behind
the front wheels. The fenders and tailgate wear Harley-Davidson
badges, and "Harley-Davidson" is spelled out on the
sides of the cargo box in raised lettering.
Inside,
the blue-flame effect carries over to the black leather seats, door
panels and center console. Strategically placed Harley tags ensure
owners always know they're driving "Big Hog Daddy."
