“Ford Super Duty is the truck America’s hardest-working men and
women trust and depend on,” said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president, The
Americas. “We are helping these customers build a better world by
delivering a new generation of pickups that set new benchmarks in
capability, performance and efficiency.”
Using advanced materials to reduce weight, 2017 F-Series Super
Duty pickup truck and chassis cab feature all-new,
segment-exclusive smart technology to help increase customer
productivity, comfort and convenience.
“While Super Duty is America’s best-selling heavy-duty truck, we
never take our leadership for granted,” said Raj Nair, Ford group
vice president, Global Product Development and chief technical
officer. “Our team is using relentless innovation in materials,
technology and Built Ford Tough engineering to deliver customers
our best Super Duty yet.”
Toughest
The backbone is an all-new, fully boxed frame comprised of more
than 95 percent high-strength steel that offers up to 24 times
stiffer than the previous frame – enabling the most towing and
hauling capability ever delivered by Super Duty. The new truck line
features heavier-duty four-wheel-drive components, driveline, axles
and towing hardware.
For the first time, the Super Duty body uses high-strength,
military-grade, aluminum alloy, which is more dent- and
ding-resistant than the outgoing steel body and not subject to red
rust corrosion.
Together, high-strength steel and high-strength aluminum alloy
help reduce weight by up to 350 pounds while Ford is reinvesting
additional weight savings everywhere it counts, to give customers
more towing and hauling capability than ever before.
Super Duty chassis cab features an all-new, high-strength steel
frame with an open-C-channel design behind the cab to enable easy
aftermarket body upfit and modification.
Smartest
Towing is core to the Super Duty mission. All-new advanced
coaching and camera technology makes conventional and
gooseneck/fifth-wheel towing easier and more efficient than
ever.
There are 16 segment-first new features – from LED lighting to
adaptive cruise control – that assist Super Duty drivers to make
driving and work situations easier and more comfortable.
As many as seven cameras help customers see more angles and
monitor conditions surrounding the truck, and provide better
trailering than ever before.
A center high-mounted stop lamp camera provides visibility into
the cargo box, especially for easier hook-up of
gooseneck/fifth-wheel trailers. A 360-degree camera system uses
four digital, high-definition cameras to give the driver a
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 attached to a
trailer to improve visibility backing up.
Customers will benefit from a segment-first, in-cab trailer tire
pressure monitoring system from the comfort of the cab while
stopped or on the highway.
Adaptive steering provides for increased confidence to help make
towing the heaviest of loads easier and brings greater ease to
navigating job sites and parking lots – with or without a trailer.
The technology reduces the amount of steering input needed to
change direction at low speed, while reducing sensitivity to
steering input at higher speeds.
The all-new F-Series Super Duty is available with numerous
driver-assist technologies:
- SYNC® 3 – Ford’s all-new communications
and entertainment system features faster performance,
conversational voice recognition and an easier-to-understand
graphical interface, along with an intuitive smartphone-like 8-inch
touch screen
- Blind Spot Information System with
trailer tow is optimized for Super Duty to include the length of
the trailer; BLIS® uses radar sensors in the taillamps to monitor
areas that may not be visible to the driver
- Lane departure warning provides a
warning when a driver strays from a lane through a series of
steering wheel vibrations that mimic rumble strips
- Adaptive cruise control and collision
warning with brake support use sensors to detect slower vehicles
moving in the same direction. If another vehicle is too close, red
lights flash on the windshield and a warning sound chimes. If
the driver does not hit the brakes, the brake system is pre-charged
to stop faster when the brake pedal is pressed
Advanced light-emitting diode technology sheds light all around
the new Super Duty, including:
- New LED sideview mirror spotlights
enable illumination surrounding the truck to light up a work site
or camp site
- Class-exclusive quad-beam LED headlamps
and taillamps
- New LED cargo box lighting
Most capable
Light-weighting and improved capability work hand-in-hand in the
all-new Ford F-Series Super Duty.
“As we remove weight, we’re making Super Duty more productive by
giving our customers better towing and payload capability,” said
Craig Schmatz, Super Duty chief engineer. “We’re backing up
improved capability with a stronger gasoline and diesel Super Duty
engine lineup.”
The second-generation Ford-designed, Ford-built 6.7-liter Power
Stroke® V8 diesel engine is available for pickup trucks and chassis
cabs providing the highest combination of horsepower and torque
ever.
The 6.2-liter V8 gasoline engine comes equipped with the new
TorqShift-G transmission for the F-250 pickup – allowing for
improved capability.
The Super Duty chassis cab lineup offers a choice of 6.7-liter
Power Stroke V8 diesel, 6.8-liter V10 gasoline or 6.2-liter V8
gasoline engines.
“The bottom line is Super Duty customers will be able to tow and
haul more than ever before,” said Schmatz.
Interior and cargo box
All three cabs – Regular Cab, SuperCab and Crew Cab – are longer
and feature a new interior design, including dual compartment glove
box, overhead console-mounted auxiliary switches to operate
aftermarket equipment, and completely flat SuperCab and Crew Cab
second-row floors that make loading large items in the cab easy.
Vital controls are close at hand, with the integrated trailer brake
controller switch located even closer to the driver.
Customer accessibility and ease of use extend outside the truck
as well, with the cargo box offering customers these
class-exclusive features:
- BoxLink™: Ford-patented combination of
metal brackets and custom cleats that can be used to secure a
variety of accessories in the cargo box
- Remote tailgate lock and release:
Tailgate can be locked/unlocked and opened with the key fob,
eliminating manual locking and increasing convenience and security.
The tailgate is damped – dropping gently down, hands-free, to a
flat position when opened
There are five models in the Super Duty lineup – XL, XLT,
Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum.
The all-new Super Duty will be built at Kentucky Truck Plant,
and goes on sale late next year.
