2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty

With its first-ever major redesign, the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty raises the bar with multiple new chassis, powertrain and technology features that make it the toughest, smartest, most capable Super Duty ever.

Super Duty's enhanced capability starts with high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy and high-strength steel that help reduce weight up to 350 pounds. Ford reinvested weight savings into more robust components that provide more towing and hauling capability than ever.

Foundational improvements for Super Duty 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 improved towing and hauling performance.

Super Duty is the first truck to offer adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support for heavy trailers, allowing drivers to traverse steep mountain grades while maintaining speed -- even with a trailer weighing 32,500 pounds.

The optional Ford-designed, Ford-built 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 produces best-in-class 925 lb.-ft. of torque and 440 horsepower. The standard 6.2-liter V8 engine produces best-in-class 430 lb.-ft. of torque and 385 horsepower.

Both diesel and gas engines are backed by a TorqShift six-speed automatic with SelectShift for reliable and efficient cross-country towing. F-250 with 6.2-liter V8 and all-new TorqShift-G six-speed automatic delivers more responsive shifting for three-quarter-ton Super Duty customers.

The F-450 SuperCrew 4x4 truck now features maximum gooseneck towing of 32,500 pounds -- 1,290 pounds more than its nearest competitor, a regular cab two-door pickup. Maximum fifth-wheel towing increases to 27,500 pounds -- 2,500 pounds better than the nearest competitor. Gross combined weight rating for F-450 Super Duty is a class-leading 41,800 pounds.
