Question of the Week: Will huge towing, payload and power numbers lead you to buy a new Super Duty?

Ford Motor Company has announced that when the 2017 Super Duty pickups hit showrooms later this year, they will lead in a variety of categories in their respective classes - while the F450 will lead Class 3 in pretty much everything.

With that in mind, we want to know whether huge numbers like this make you more likely to buy a new Super Duty truck when they go on sale?

How important is it to you to have the most powerful truck on the market?

Heavy towing and big payload --- YES

We have a 2008 F350 LB CC SRW with rear airbags and 19.5" wheels. I am "maxed" out with the 40 ft. 5th wheel we had ---------- so when we bought a new 41 ft. 5th wheel it put me over on the GCWR.
MORE POWER makes controlling my load much easier and the bigger truck lets me stop it much easier as well.

Thank you FORD for taking the LEAD again with the most powerful truck and bigger payload. The truck and the quality have been outstanding. I have no reason to think that the 2017 F450 I have ordered will be any less.

We enjoy RV'ing and the road.
