Last month, five real-world customers were invited to get a behind-the-scenes look at the new 2017 Super Duty. These people rely on quality trucks to get their work done, and had a vested interest in the changes Ford was making.
One of the first stops was to see the new aluminum body work. Each customer got to heft an aluminum door, and one of the old steel doors. The difference is huge, and it adds up, particularly on a SuperCrew cab with four full doors.
The lighter weight on the truck's body allows for reinvestment in performance-critical areas, like the frame. What used to be a light, yet "soft" c-channel frame is now a fully-boxed frame that is 24 times more rigid.
This allows for better suspension isolation, which takes advantage of the Super Duty's new and improved suspension. The truck also gets larger brakes, and stronger axles and driveline.
