forum_emoticons.html	[quote=Neptune,19141]All F-250s / F-350s and F-450s are Super Duty as of the 1999 model year. Before that the Super Duty name plate appeared on Ford’s F-450 line as “F-Super Duty” – this is no longer used. All Ford trucks are known as "F-250 Super Duty" / "F-350 Super Duty" or "F-450 Super Duty" depending on their mechanical setup. The new 2008 models (which I think are ugly) have SUPER DUTY stamped on the top of the grille) As for the Super Duty name itself? It signifies that the truck is not light-duty but rather heavy-duty in nature. The name was given to the vehicle by Ford to announce that the truck (which was All-New machine for the 1999 model year) was far more capable than the ones it replaced.[/quote]

Neptune, there was one list we forgot...the Super Duty's listed as "F-Series" trucks :grin:

Neptune

You helped more than you were aware of. You did a excellent job too, and thank you for your help. :smile:

ford_guy

Good job Neptune :smile:

Sorry I wasn't able to help as much, but you did a great job. :smile:

Neptune

I went back over all of them (F-250 / F-350 / F-450) – everthying seems in check, so renaming is complete.

Neptune

I’ll take a look later on this evening (I’m currently working right now) but will pop back in later on this evening. I have already done the F-450s also.

ford_guy

Well, I'm just about done with the F-350's. I don't know if you want to take a look at them since you're better at identifying the trim than I am.

Neptune

Indeed they do ... they are the same truck just in the Cab & Chassis Unit (arrangement) The only difference is that their trim levels will go no higher than a XLT.

ford_guy

Neptune, I'm working on the F-350's. Ambulances count too, right?

Neptune

Very well then, I go ahead and start with the F-250s (while I’m changinfg the names I’ll add missing year models (if there are any) and any other missing secondary info i.e. trim level, cab configurations)

Ford F-250 renaming (Done)

antp

You can rename them then, but if there are large numbers of similar models to rename I can maybe do it by SQL directly in the server. Though that the "superduty" mention from the extra info would have to be cleared at the same time... Well, let me know if I have to change some (i.e. large series with year mentioned and all model/extrainfo fields identical)
