Ford’s engineers made sure Mighty F-350 Tonka is as packed with technology as it is with style. For instance, they equipped it with something called hydraulic launch assist, which is contained within the system of bottles and tubes you see here. When the Tonka brakes, the system hydraulically stores energy otherwise lost during braking in the bottles. At launch, that energy is sent to the rear driveshaft to help get the vehicle rolling again. When will you see this system, or something like it, in production? Developments of this system could begin showing up within the next two or three years. View Related Article
