2014 Ford F-350 Lariat: The Ultimate Heavy-Duty Partner for the Heartland

Whether you are hauling equipment between job sites in Arcola, IL or preparing for a weekend of recreation, this 2014 Ford F-350 Lariat is engineered to handle the demands of the central Illinois landscape. This truck is more than just a vehicle; it is a dedicated tool for those who live and work in our rural communities, where the pavement often gives way to fertile farmland and gravel roads. Imagine pulling out of your driveway at sunrise, the Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat exterior catching the light as you head out for a productive day. This Crew Cab model offers the perfect blend of rugged capability and refined comfort, making it just as suitable for a community event in Tuscola, IL as it is for the heavy-duty demands of the local agriculture industry.

Performance & Capability

At the heart of this powerhouse is the Powerstroke 6.7L V-8 diesel direct injection, intercooled turbo engine, delivering a robust 400HP. This engine is built with an Iron engine block and an Aluminum cylinder head, ensuring the durability required for long days in the fields or navigating the gently rolling plains of the region. The TorqShift 6-speed automatic transmission features SelectShift Sequential shift control and a Transmission oil cooler, allowing for smooth power delivery even when the Transmission temperature gauge starts to climb during heavy use.

Navigating varying terrain is effortless thanks to the Part-time 4WD system and Auto locking hub control. The suspension is specifically tuned for work, featuring a Firm ride suspension with a Mono-beam rigid axle front suspension and Solid Axle Rear Suspension w/Leaf Springs. Whether you are traversing a muddy path or cruising the highway, the Heavy-duty gas-pressurized shock absorbers and Front anti-roll bar provide a stable, controlled ride. For those cold Illinois mornings, the Engine block heater ensures your diesel powerplant is ready to fire up without hesitation.

Technology & Connectivity

This Lariat trim brings modern convenience to the cabin, ensuring you stay connected whether you are in the heart of town or out in the open acreage. The interior features 2 total number of 1st row displays, including an 8 inch primary display that serves as the hub for your media and vehicle settings. With Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity and Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, you can manage calls and listen to your favorite playlists without ever taking your hands off the Steering wheel mounted audio controls.

The Voice activated audio controls allow for seamless adjustments while driving, while the Analog instrumentation display provides clear, easy-to-read data at a glance. To keep you informed of the changing Midwestern weather, the Exterior temperature display is always visible. Additionally, the SYNC with MyFord Touch system includes external memory control, and the SYNC Services mobile hotspot provides internet access to keep your business moving even when you are miles away from the office.

Comfort & Interior

Inside the cabin, you are greeted by a refined Adobe interior featuring Leather front seat upholstery. Both the driver and front passenger enjoy 8-way directional controls including power reclining, lumbar support, and cushion tilt, allowing you to find the perfect position for long drives to Decatur, IL. The Dual-zone front climate control and Voice-activated climate control ensure that both you and your passenger remain comfortable regardless of the season, while Rear under seat climate control ducts keep those in the back just as cozy.

Utility meets luxury with features like Power adjustable pedals and a Leather steering wheel on a Manual Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column. Storage is abundant, featuring a Full Floor Console w/Locking Storage, Locking 2nd Row Underseat Storage, and a Full Overhead Console. For those who need to power tools or electronics on the go, the cabin is equipped with 5 12V DC Power Outlets and 2 Interior 120V AC Power Outlets. When the workday ends, the Fade-To-Off Interior Lighting and Remote activated perimeter approach lighting provide a welcoming environment as you return to your truck.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is paramount in a vehicle of this size, and the F-350 is equipped with a comprehensive suite of features to protect you and your cargo. The 4-Wheel Disc Brakes w/4-Wheel ABS are supplemented by Brake Assist and Hill Hold Control, providing confident stopping power even on inclines. When it comes to hauling, the Trailer brake controller and Trailer Sway Control work in tandem to ensure your load remains stable and secure behind you.

Parking this Crew Cab is made easier with Rear parking sensors and a Back-Up Camera, providing a clear view of what is behind you. The cabin is protected by a total of 6 airbags, including Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags and Dual Stage Driver And Passenger Seat-Mounted Side Airbags. For added peace of mind, the MyKey restricted driving mode allows you to set parameters for other drivers, while the SecuriLock Anti-Theft Ignition and Perimeter Alarm keep your investment secure.

Exterior & Design

The Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat paint gives this F-350 a commanding presence, accented by a Chrome grille and Chrome front and rear bumpers. Functionality is built into every corner of the exterior, from the 2 front tow hooks to the Class V tow rating with a Trailer hitch and Trailer wiring harness. The PowerScope power extendable trailer mirrors are a vital asset for visibility when towing wide loads, and they feature Power folding and Heated capabilities for convenience in frostier weather.

The truck sits on 18 x 8-inch machined aluminum wheels with Chrome hub wheel covers, wrapped in LT275/65SR18 AS BSW tires. Lighting is handled by Auto on/off reflector halogen headlamps and Front fog lights, ensuring the road ahead is well-illuminated during late-night hauls. The Standard style pickup box includes Pickup bed-rail protectors and an Easy lift tailgate, making loading and unloading a simpler task.
