About the Ford Super Duty
The Ford Super Duty is a range of American heavy-duty full-size pickup trucks and chassis cabs built for towing and commercial work. In Australia, these vehicles suit tradespeople, farmers, and businesses that need serious payload capacity and towing power for daily operations. Whether you need a flatbed for a trailer or a crew cab for a team, the Super Duty is designed to handle the rigours of Australian conditions.
For compliance, we look at the specific chassis code and build date. Currently, SEVS approvals cover the F250 series and the F250, F350, F450, F550, and F600 series NB2. The P558 variant applies to models built from July 2016 to August 2022, while the P708 variant covers models built from September 2022 onwards. Because these are distinct compliance pathways, we confirm the exact car's eligibility before you bid.
If you have a specific budget or configuration in mind, tell us what you’re looking for, and our team will find the right match for your needs. We are happy to search for the exact specifications you require.
