Ford F-350

The Ford F-350 Super Duty Truck is a playable super-duty pickup truck in Midtown Madness, as well as its sequel, Midtown Madness 2.

The truck has slow acceleration, but has good durability and horsepower. This gives it an advantage of knocking down barriers and driving on rough roads.

In-Game Description
Tough steel survives urban abuse, muscles heavy traffic, and climbs stairs with ease. "While the Ford F-350 is not normally a race car, this truck's durability helps create shortcuts through any terrain."

Details
The Ford F-350 is a standard vehicle unlocked from the very first time you play Midtown Madness 2 and the original Midtown Madness. It is the only default player-drivable pickup truck in both the standard game and Midtown Madness 1. In HQTM Team's Classic Madness mod, it is replaced by the old Chevrolet 3100, although certain aspects of it appear to be broken.

The Ford F-350 can withstand heavy amounts of traffic and slippery roads since it has more endurance than smaller cars. It is slower because of its weight, which makes it easier to control than faster vehicles. It would be recommended for races with rainy and snowy weather, as well as smashing through smaller obstacles, road blocks, parks, and surviving attacks from police patrol during some complicated races.

History
The Ford Super Duty (short for F-Series Super Duty) is a series of trucks manufactured by Ford Motor Company. Introduced in 1998 for the 1999 model year, the F-Series Super Duty trucks marked the addition of a heavy-duty pickup to the Ford F-Series range with the new versions of the F-250, F-350, and F-450 pickups, while the previous 1987–1997 F-Super Duty chassis cabs were replaced by the F-450 chassis cab and F-550 Super Duty.

The Ford F-Series started out in 1948, with the original lineup being numbered F-1 to F-8, in order to replace Ford's line of car-based pickups. The most iconic F-Series was introduced in 1953 and began using 3-digit numbers to designate its vehicles. This generation of F-Series was renamed the Mercury M-Series in Canada. It is also this generation that many hot-rods have been based upon. The third generation used a more boxy design introduced in 1957, before it received a facelift in 1961. 1967 and 1973 saw more facelifts, as the general shape of the F-Series failed to change. 1980 saw a slightly rounded model appear, which was facelifted in 1987 and again in 1992. 1997 saw a brand new F-Series appear. The design used a smoother body, typical of most cars of that era, and introduced the Super-Duty series in 1999, upon which the F-350 was based. The F-Series Super Duty was significantly larger, allowing more goods to be carried than a regular F-Series, as well as using styling-cues similar to previous generations. The regular F-Series received a redesign in 2004, while the Super Duty did not change until both lines were updated in 2008, both using styling cues from the previous Super Duty line.

Trivia

 * In Midtown Madness 2, the F-350 has new engine sound effects, including an unused selection sound, and this is also the only vehicle from Midtown Madness 1 to have its horn sound effect changed entirely, so all the sound effects for it have been changed altogether, unlike all the other default vehicles reused from MM1. The older sound effects can be used again by extracting them from the core.ar file for Midtown Madness 1 and modding the second game.
 * For unknown reasons, the white color was cut from this vehicle in Midtown Madness 2 (as mentioned above), but all the files for it can still be found in the mm2core.ar file, and the white color for the vehicle itself can be restored via mods.
 * In the Midtown Madness series, like the Cadillac Eldorado and the Panoz Roadster, this vehicle uses aftermarket wheels instead of its original ones. In earlier versions of the first Midtown Madness installment, it had original wheels.
