Caught! 2017 Ford F-350 Single-Cab Dualie - Truck Trend Network
Ford is getting into aluminum in a major way. The weight savings on the Super Duty are expected to surpass even the F-150’s impressive 700-pound savings. The 2017 Super Duty may also debut a new 10-speed automatic transmission, a version of which was recently announced for the 2017 F-150 Raptor. The only major piece of the 2017 Super Duty puzzle that’s still unknown is what the gas engine option will be. It’s widely believed that the powerful, but thirsty, 6. 2L SOHC V-8 will be put out to pasture with the next-gen Super Duty, leaving... 5L EcoBoost has slightly less horsepower but actually makes 15 lb-ft more torque than the 6. 2L in the Super Duty. Thermal management is a major issue on these trucks, especially under load, so our guess is a version of the 5. 0L will be under the hood, but Ford could surprise us all with a V-6 for the Super Duty. The majority of Super Duty trucks are sold with the diesel, a trend expected to continue with the new. Source: www.trucktrend.com
