First Drive With Ford Mustang Boss 302

 As you plunge through the fabled Corkscrew at Monterey's Laguna Seca Raceway literally unable to see the apex of the next corner that you hope to brush in a hundredth of a second or so, you realize the scale of the task Ford engineers cut out for themselves as they went to create the Ford Mustang Boss 302.

(A new Super Duty is expected for 2011.) This generation of Ford Super Duty trucks is the best ever. It has all of the capability expected of a heavy-duty pickup, yet it is comfortable, rides well, and delivers a lot of value. With realistic expectations, any faults will seem minute when compared to the ability to plow a big parking lot, pull a regular-size car, or tow a small house. The Super Duty line can haul from one to three...
