The Ford Super Chief concept truck was designed to explore the ceiling for luxury in tough trucks, designed to push the envelope and express what an upscale and distinctly American pickup might look like. The design team found inspiration in premium luxury cars, high end luxury yachts, and boardroom architechure.

 

The exterior of the Super Chief is built within the foot print of an F-250 dually, making maximum use of package space available to an over 8500 class pick up truck.

 

Super Chief features an interior paneled in American walnut, brushed aluminum and bold brown leather. Convenience features seats with separate cushions for the seat bottoms and the backs, as well as individual integrated armrests that are not part of the rear door panels. The leather for the seats – as it is throughout the rest of the cabin – is Spinneybeck, aniline-dyed in a rich brown. Rear seats allow for relaxation aided by ottomans that deploy from the floor space.
 

The entire roof of the F-250 Super Chief is glass, bisected by a leather-wrapped grid of American walnut, allowing vista views. The walnut, outlined in aluminum, lines the truck’s floors as well, carrying through the design execution of the pickup bed. Viewed from above, through the glass roof, the floor is smooth and integrated from cabin to the bed.

 

The concept takes truck leadership to a new level – as the world’s first vehicle with Tri-Flex fueling, enabling the supercharged V-10 to run for 500 miles between fill-ups on hydrogen, E85 ethanol or gasoline.
