2017 Super Duty

[TeamWild]

Here's the new truck. I'm not liking the styling. The grill is just hideous.

Just read the article on it. I like the idea of beefed up parts.

Here is some frame info for the cab and chassis builders.

Whoa, I agree on the grill...thank gawd for the aftermarket. Excited to see how this new SD stacks up. Looks like it could be a winner.

Minus the grill I think its awesome!

What's with everyone making big obnoxious front ends?

 

[OCD Overland]

Just sayin.

I actually really like it besides that grill. Trucks are getting boxy again like they were in the 80's.

****** is "military grade aluminum body?" Does that mean it's bullet proof/IED proof? Should be perfect for my South America trip.

They've FINALLY gone fully boxed for non-chassis cab applications, about time they caught up!

Interesting they still kept open on the heavy duty chassis cab.

At least they kept the wheel wells round and big enough to handle larger diameter tires. The blue one in the article looks better, imho.

Looks used to concern me...now I am thinking the uglier the better, if you don't like how it looks...you don't care about beating on it..which is the sole purpose for buying a truck, to use and abuse the crap out of it.

Any specs yet...assuming the payload went up considerably. There was a rumor of it getting a 5.0 EcoBoost for those who don't want diesel.

No towing or horsepower specs yet. The engines were announced. 6.7 ltr diesel. 6.2 ltr gas. and the 6.8 ltr v10 available only on chassis cabs. Basically all just carry over.

Is that the same cab as the F150?

 

[TeamWild]

Same cab as the F-150, Bed is made of thinker aluminium than the F-150 and is 1 inch lower.
