Super Duty’s enhanced capability starts with high-strength,
military-grade, aluminum alloy and high-strength steel that help
reduce weight by up to 350 pounds. Ford reinvested that weight
savings in more robust components everywhere it counts to give
customers more towing and hauling capability than ever before.
Foundational improvements for every Super Duty pickup truck
include an all-new, fully boxed frame that is more than 95 percent
high-strength steel and up to 24 times stiffer than the previous
frame to support increased towing and hauling. The all-new
high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body is more dent and
ding resistant than the previous steel body.
“This is the best heavy-duty truck we’ve ever made,” says Doug
Scott, Ford truck marketing manager. “We listened to our customers
and created the toughest, smartest and most capable Super Duty
ever.”
The future of towing is now
The 2017 Super Duty is the undisputed leader in towing, offering
available best-in-class performance in all towing categories, plus
smart technology no other competitor has to enable greater
confidence when towing.
Ford F-450 Super Duty SuperCrew 4x4 now features a maximum
gooseneck tow rating of 32,500 pounds – 1,290 pounds more than its
nearest competitor, a regular cab two-door pickup. Maximum
fifth-wheel towing is increased to 27,500 – 2,500 pounds better
than the nearest competitor.
Maximum conventional towing is increased to 21,000 pounds –
1,000 pounds better than the nearest competitors’ trucks and
without the need for a weight-distributing hitch. Maximum
conventional towing with F-250, with the all-new trailer tow
package, and F-350 single-rear wheel are increased to a
class-leading 18,000 pounds.
Maximum gross combined weight rating for truck and trailer now
tops out at a class-leading 41,800 pounds. That is more than half
the maximum weight of an 18-wheeler semi-tractor trailer
combination on most federal highways.
This industry-defining capability is matched by
never-before-seen towing technology. Super Duty is the first truck
to offer adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake
support for heavy trailers, allowing truckers to traverse steep
mountain grades while maintaining speed – even with a trailer
weighing 32,500 pounds.
A center high-mounted stop lamp camera provides visibility into
the cargo box, which is especially helpful when hooking up
gooseneck and fifth-wheel trailers. An Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera
System uses four digital, high-definition cameras to give the
driver a 360-degree bird’s-eye view surrounding Super Duty. Trailer
Reverse Guidance provides visual cues and tips to help ease backing
up a trailer. A first-ever factory-available trailer camera can be
custom-placed on a trailer to improve visibility backing up.
Trailer towing customers benefit from a segment-first in-cab
trailer tire pressure monitoring system, accessible from the
comfort of the cab while stopped or on the highway. Blind Spot
Information System with trailer tow is optimized for Super Duty to
include the length of the trailer up to 33 feet long; BLIS® uses
radar sensors in the taillamps to monitor areas that may not be
visible to the driver.
Payload dominance
Super Duty can haul more than any other heavy-duty pickup.
Maximum payload of the 2017 Ford Super Duty F-350 is 7,630 pounds –
more than any competitor, period. F-250 Super Duty boasts the same
dominance over its peers; with maximum payload of 4,200 pounds, it
can haul more than 600 pounds over its nearest competitor.
More power than ever
The Ford-designed, Ford-engineered, Ford-built second-generation
6.7-liter Power Stroke® V8 turbo diesel that powers Super Duty now
delivers a best-in-class combination of 440 horsepower and a
staggering 925 lb.-ft. of torque. That power is standard for every
Super Duty diesel pickup – from F-250 to F-450 – without requiring
special tuning or unique hardware.
The standard 6.2-liter V8 now offers best-in-class torque among
gasoline engines of 430 lb.-ft., with standard 385 horsepower.
Both diesel and gasoline engines are backed by the TorqShift
six-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission for reliable and
efficient cross-country towing. The F-250 pickup with 6.2-liter V8
and all-new TorqShift-G six-speed automatic delivers improved fuel
economy and capability for three-quarter-ton Super Duty
customers.
Ford has redefined leadership in the heavy-duty pickup truck
market, delivering never-before-seen productivity for today’s
heavy-duty truck customer. The 2017 F-Series Super Duty is a
purpose-built machine for getting work done faster, smarter and
more efficiently. The all-new Super Duty goes on sale this
fall.
