Ford Motor Co. has added a few minor updates to its F-Series Super Duty lineup for 2019 around connectivity and exterior appearance, according to Ford.
The Super Duty pickups, which include F-250, F-250, and F-450, entered their fourth generation with a heavy refresh for the 2017 model-year headlined by more aluminum body panels, F-150 cabs, and a reinforced frame.
For 2019, Ford will offer a new appearance package with premium painted 20-inch aluminum wheels for the Lariat Sport trim. New options include FordPass Connect with an embedded 4G LTE modem and a 1,000-watt, 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system. Ford will also offer two new exterior colors, including Agate Black and Silver Spruce. Ford will no longer include CD players in the trucks.
The Super Duty pickups will continue to offer a choice of carryover engines, including the 6.2L gasoline or 6.7L Power Stroke diesel that are mated to the TorqShift, 6-speed automatic transmission.
