The Super Duty has the look of a serious, hard- working modern truck. It's a brawny, wide-shouldered pickup with a massive rectangular chromed grille. Cut-down side windows allow a lower mirror placement for better visibility. My example is a long way from a bare-bones work truck. It has the look and feel of luxury.
Access is easy thanks to running boards and the standard auxiliary rear cab doors.
Up front is a leather-faced contoured split bench that is really two comfy buckets and a center jump seat. The center seatback does double duty as a console when folded down. The Lariat's windows, mirrors, and doorlocks are power-operated. Instruments are easily read, and the control switches and knobs are large, well-marked, and easy to operate. The climate control system is fast and efficient in heating or cooling the cabin.
