Starting with the 2015 model year, the Ford F-150 has saved weight and improved performance by switching out its steel body panels with military-grade aluminum. Now, those same weight-saving benefits are being engineered in to Ford's most powerful truck line, the F-Series Super Duty.
The 2017 Super Duty is set to make its debut in our Jasper inventory later this year. The weight shaved off with the new aluminum body panels and bed box will be added back on to bolster the strength of more crucial components.
For the first time, the Super Duty will trade in its c-channel frame for a 24-times more rigid fully-boxed frame. Improvements are also being made to the brakes, hitch, suspension, and axles.
"Nobody likes a white-knuckle towing experience," said Josh Morris, an electrician and real-world Super Duty customer invited to test drive the new F-450. "It stays put, it doesn't want to wander over those bumps; it doesn't want to jump off the road. It just stays planted. That gives you a good feeling of confidence."
