This Ford is super-equipped for Super Duty.
Beautiful mountain landscapes and majestic geysers are likely to come to mind when you think about Yellowstone National Park. Some people might imagine the park exploding due to a huge volcanic eruption. There is supervolcano that heats all of those hot springs. You may not be aware of the worst mail delivery truck in history. If you know where you look, you will find it at the park, too.
The Ford Super Duty is the best mail carrier. This is a Ford F-550 specialized in suspension and a utility box, as well as slightly larger tires. outrageously large – 22 inches in width, or 560/60R 22.5 according . For those who don’t know tire-speak, 560 refers to the width of the sidewall from one side to the other in millimeters. 60 is a percentage. This equates to a sidewall measuring 13 inches. These tires measure 49 inches in height.
However, even with the best tires, they won’t be able to get you through deep snow. The F-550’s width provides some flotation. The Drive states that the F-550’s suspension is highly modified. It has an eight-inch lift and upgraded axles. Special fender flares prevent debris from hitting the sides. The front bumper is quite aggressive and does more than bump things. It has a step that allows you to access the 6.7-liter diesel engine under the hood.
Why does Yellowstone National Park require a winter delivery vehicle? The park has full-time residents. This truck is needed to deliver mail during the winter months when the local post office closes. To deliver mail and supplies to rural residents, a 150-mile round trip is required twice per week. We bet that not one trip in this truck is every day.
