Business Wire
- All-new 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty
gets a 48-gallon fuel tank on long-box Crew Cab configuration for
both gasoline and diesel applications – allowing most productive
Super Duty ever to spend more time on the road and less time at the
pump
- New 48-gallon tank is the largest
available in the heavy-duty pickup truck segment – 22 percent
larger than 37.5-gallon tank in diesel-equipped 2016 Super Duty and
37 percent larger than 2016 gas-equipped truck’s 35-gallon
tank
- Improved water separator filter and
fuel filter design enables longer change intervals, minimizing time
and money spent performing routine maintenance
The all-new 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty is the toughest,
smartest, most capable and most productive Super Duty ever – an
essential tool for work. Just one way in which it can accomplish
this is through the addition of a massive 48-gallon fuel tank – the
largest in its class – which aims to maximize time between fill-ups
to allow for more time getting the job done.

pickup truck. (Photo: Business Wire)
Thanks to the all-new long-box Crew Cab’s longer wheelbase and
wider track, the new tank fits between frame and driveshaft. It is
22 percent larger than the 2016 diesel-equipped Super Duty’s
37.5-gallon tank and 37 percent larger than the 2016 gas engine’s
35-gallon tank. Along with improved fuel economy enabled by
light-weighting through the use of high-strength, military-grade
aluminum alloy, the all-new Super Duty’s range increases
significantly.
Adding to that range is a larger-capacity diesel exhaust fluid
tank for Power Stroke®-equipped Super Duty – up 2.5 gallons from
the 2016 truck to 7.5 gallons for 2017. An improved fuel filter and
water separator filter allow for longer change intervals to
minimize time and money spent on maintenance, allowing Super Duty
more time on the road getting the job done.
“We want to give our customers a more productive tool for
getting the most out of their trucks,” said Brian Rathsburg, Super
Duty marketing manager. “This means less downtime at the fuel pump
and performing routine maintenance, and more time on the job.”
The all-new Super Duty is available fall 2016.
