Ford dresses up the Super Duty Lariat with Outlaw and Highline packages

Not content to let the newly-redesigned Super Duty rest with only five trim levels, Ford has announced two more for the late May start of 2007 production - the Lariat Outlaw and Lariat Highline.

Available only with the Powerstroke 6.0L diesel, the black monochrome Outlaw is designed to attract the sort of disobedient bad-asses who buy $50,000 trucks. Leather-covered captain's chairs keep prospective Young Guns comfortable, and there are a set of chrome step bars in case they've got trouble making a big single leap into the cab. Tinted windows are included to hide all those law-breaking activities from the authorities.

The Highline, available with all three options, adds to the already long list of standard Lariat equipment by adding an all-black leather interior, brushed aluminum trim, and a billet grille that is larger than most garage doors.

Ford Super Duty trucks are well known for their legendary hauling and towing capabilities. But Super Duty hasn't become a member of the best-selling line of pickups on shear muscle alone. Ford has always given Super Duty owners the option of mixing business and pleasure with an unmatched variety of trim and equipment levels designed to complement the class-leading functionality of their trucks.

The current Super Duty lineup includes the value-leading XL, the dressier XLT, the luxurious Lariat as well as the unique King Ranch and Harley Davidson editions.  The King Ranch and Harley Davidson trucks enjoy an almost cult-like following in some circles.

For 2007, Super Duty steps up the ante for F-250 and F-350 Crew Cab and SuperCab Lariat models with the new Lariat Outlaw and Lariat Highline trucks.

"With more and more Super Duty customers moving upscale, the Highline and Outlaw packages give us exciting new trim levels that further differentiate our trucks," says Robert Keller, Super Duty marketing manager. 

The Lariat Outlaw Package is available only with the 6.0 diesel engine and includes all Lariat Crew Cab standard features, such as cab steps, fog lamps, six-way power driver and passenger seats with leather seating surfaces, privacy glass, leather-wrapped steering wheel, rear sliding window, advanced security group and trailer tow package plus:

• Black Monochrome Appearance

• Front console with black and red leather-wrapped lid
• OUTLAW instrument panel insert
• Special gauge cluster
• Brushed aluminum-style door trim

• Optional 20-inch forged aluminum wheels

The Highline Package, available on SuperCab Lariat models with either gasoline V-8, V-10 or diesel engines, adds an all-black interior with a full chrome trim package consisting of chrome billet-style grille, chrome tow hooks, chrome mirror caps, chrome tubular step bars, chrome bed tie-down hooks and a chrome exhaust tip. The Highline includes all Lariat SuperCab standard features, plus:

• Chrome package Front captain's chairs with black leather seating surfaces
• Front console with black leather-wrapped lid
• Brushed aluminum-style trim
• Ebony interior accents
• Red, white or black clearcoat exterior color

The new interior packages will be available at the start of production for the 2007 F-250 and F-350 in late May of this year.
