toughest, smartest and most capable Super Duty #truck lineup ever.
“Super Duty chassis cabs are the number one trusted choice

American Fleet, Lease and Remarketing Operations. “The all-new
Super Duty will help these customers keep the lights on, deliver

Ford 2017 F-Series Super Duty
The all-new 2017 F-Series Super Duty pickup is Ford’s toughest,
smartest and most capable pickup Super Duty ever and part of
Ford F-Series, America’s best-selling #truck for 39 straight years.
Ford engineers improved the Super Duty chassis cab with
advanced materials, making the frame out of high-strength steel
and the body out of high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy.
The result is up to 350 pounds of weight savings with additionalweight savings reinvested everywhere it counts, giving customers
more towing and hauling capability than ever before. Components
such as axles, hubs and brakes are larger and stronger to support
work demands.
The all-new, high-strength steel frame is engineered with an open-
C-channel design behind the cab to enable easy aftermarket body
upfit and modification. The all-new frame is made of more than 95
percent high-strength steel and fully boxed from the front to the
back of the cab, and an open C-channel extends all the way behind
the cab to accommodate vocational needs and aftermarket body
builders.
Fleet operators and commercial upfitters will find it easier to
connect electrical equipment to the #truck. An all-new smart
Controller Area Network (CAN) interface allows upfitters to more
easily integrate upgrades to meet their customers’ needs, with six
auxiliary upfitter switches available to operate a variety of powered
options, such as lights, compressors or other power equipment.
Three Super Duty chassis cab engine choices give customers the
power of choice, including a 6.2-liter gasoline V8, 6.8-liter gasoline
V10, or 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbo diesel V8.
