Closer look; 2010 F350 4x4 Pick-Up Truck

I took some close up photos of a F-350 in a parking lot recently. I found some of the details interesting. I have no idea how any of these changes have affected the Coefficient of Drag from previous years though.






Here is the part which got my attention initially:

The drawback with the lower baffle is that (like most vehicles with them) you have to be careful parking up to a curb. More-so with cars, but take a walk along these curbs and see just how many people park right up to them. Most just rub but keep an eye out and you'll soon see just how many have been torn backwards and damaged.

Oh... and clearly can't be bothered to wipe up the spilled fuel from carelessly topping off...

And it's and F-150... not 350

The sides of the top grille are perfectly shaped for some easy grille blocks. Funny how much wheel gap they throw in there to make it manly. My F100 tucks its rear tires... how styles change, eh?

Opps, my bad it is a F-150 not a F-350.


I was most curious about the lack of spoiler coverage over the front tires.


On my 1976 Econoline Van back in 1983 I made a huge chin spoiler. The sheet metal was only so long, and I tapered in inward very much as on the F-150 shown above. I had my reasons, but I have no clue as to what Ford's reasons are.
