2005 Ford F 350 FX4 Hoss Edition - Big Hoss F-350

Sorry, this truck wasn't built for you. But it was built by guys who think like you. What you're looking at is a skunkworks vehicle built by a group of engineers within Ford Truck to prove the Blue Oval canoffer a take-no-prisoners off-road vehicle to compete with the Rubicon Wranglers, Hummer H2, and the Dodge Power Wagons of the world. We've seen it, driven it, jumped it, and have been entrusted with spreading the word about it. Will Ford build it? Our guess is it will if sales of the H2 and Power Wagon are strong. But we're more interested in the direction the truck, known as the FX4 Hoss Edition, could be taking Ford's off-road development.

To us the Hoss truck is a success, but it is only the tip of the iceberg. If you really want this truck today, all you have to do is order an '05 F-350 4x4 Super Cab from your local dealer and then deck it out with lockers, tires, a winch, and some bumpers. But if you want more-if you want a factory engineered off-road package with parts you can't get at the local off-road shop-you need to write us (david.kennedy@primedia.com). This truck represents Ford's willingness to give you a real off-road vehicle, something worthy of Ford's off-road heritage and not just some rebadged Escape. If you want solid axles with lockers, long-travel suspensions with progressive dampening, and traction control systems that really work, speak up. Ford is listening, and this is your chance to be heard.
