The American culture is full of powerful symbols which speak of our neighbors' mentality. Think about the famous pin-ups, roaring muscle cars, flamboyant Harley-Davidson motorcycles and hard-working full-size pickup trucks. It's hard to imagine how one could successfully combine a couple of these icons, but that's precisely what Ford was able to do with the 2008 F-350 Super Duty
Harley-Davidson.

At first, it might seem strange to create this sort of mix, but when you think about it, it makes perfect sense. In the United States, over 40 percent of Harley-Davidson owners drive a full-size pickup truck -- more often than not a
Ford F-Series.
Needless to say that the Harley edition of the F-350 is only available in black with copper accents. Thusly dressed up, there's just no way to mistake it for anything else.
This massive truck is all about style and all about black; even the unique trim on the wheels is black. Harley-Davidson designers, who penned this one-of-a-kind vehicle, made sure to give it a commanding presence and killer looks. What used to be just a workhorse has become a fashion statement by way of numerous upgrades.
Beyond the aforementioned black and copper treatment, this F-350 stands out thanks to blacked-out headlight clusters, exclusive 20-inch wheels as well as a blacked-out grille with chrome slats. Also worth mentioning are the dual side-mounted chrome tailpipes bearing a Harley logo on each exhaust tip. Said logo is also found on the front fenders, leaving no doubts about the vehicle's roots.
The styling theme carries over inside, where copper leather seats sport black inserts and a design that's unique to this special edition. A beautiful Harley badge adorns the center console. This being a top-of-the-line F-350, the list of features is comprehensive. However, like every other Ford Super Duty, this one looks a bit "gimmicky". Fit and finish meet expectations without setting new standards.
