Ford F-250 Super Chief
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ford F-250 Super Chief (often known as just the Ford Super Chief) was a concept car that was created by the Ford Motor Company. The Super Chief was first introduced at the 2006 North American International Auto Show. The Super Chief can possibly show what is next for future pickup trucks.
[edit] Engine
The Super Chief uses a V10 Tri-Flex engine that has supercharged aspiration and induction. In total there are twenty valves in the engine (2 valves for every cylinder). The Super Chief might look like a gas-guzzler, but it actually runs on hydrogen, which means it's basically powered by water. It can also run on gasoline and ethanol.
[edit] Design
In design, the Super Chief surpasses the designs of past F-series concept vehicles which include the Ford F-250 Super Crew and the Ford F-250 King Ranch. The front-end and grille of the Super Chief was inspired by locomotives makes the Super Chief look slightly more aggressive. The Super Chief also has a new feature created by Ford, called BlockerBeam that can help even out crash energy on the Super Chief and the other vehicle that collided. This feature can help a person in a light car feel safer if in one case that would happen. The Super Chief also sports an exaggerated 8 ft. long truck bed.
