We’ve seen more of Ford’s new Super Duty trucks before their actual unveiling than any pickup in recent memory. First there was the prototype that exploded in Death Valley during testing last August. Then there was that leaked photo of an F-250 in all its chromed out glory in March, and just a month ago, Ford wrapped one in some promotional camouflage and paraded it around a bit.
That last one made us wonder if all these incidents weren’t entirely coincidental, but that’s for another time. Right now, we’ve got our first unadulterated look at the actual, 2017 Super Duty pickups that you’ll eventually be able to buy. You just have to wait one more year!
Though a more formal unveiling event is coming later this morning at the State Fair of Texas, Ford was kind enough to pass along all the details on these new trucks and a bunch of photos in advance. There’ll be five models in the new lineup: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum. Let’s dig into all the new stuff.
As was the case with the unveiling of the 2015 F-150 early last year, the main update to these redesigned Super Duty trucks, beyond a new look, is the aluminum body. Speaking of that new look, it definitely brings the Super Duty models more in line with the F-150, and it confirms that the leak from March was completely legit.
