What's the First Long Road Trip You'll Take Your 2017 Ford Super Duty On?



Taking families on trips in comfort and safety is one of the various jobs many Super Duty trucks have to perform. That won't be any different for the 2017 models.

If mine arrives before Thanksgiving (I'm not expecting it to, just so I don't remotely get my hopes up), I'll be taking that diesel from San Fran to Whistler, Canada for our yearly 'Snowboarding season is open.. snow is crap, but the bars are open' trip. Truck will be loaded up with 5 peoples winter gear.. The other 4 plus toddler are flying to Seattle, and I'll pick them up there.

No doubt even if it's a gnarly winter, the F350 will make light work of the hills on the west coast.

 

As soon as mine gets here, I'm going to put on about 1,000 miles in my neighborhood. Smiling all the way.

 

Already got 800 miles on mine. They keep on ticking up

 

Well counting my 275 miles from the dealer back home im going to try and take as many trips as I can before I hook it up to the construction trailer/dump trailer before I hook up to the Toy Hauler.

 

Derek, who are you and why do you post things that are on the FTE homepage? I'm trying to figure out why a regular member of the forums makes posts like yours. I could see if you were admin why it would make sense but...???

 

80 miles or so from dealership to my driveway.. Can't wait!

 

A 5 and half hour trip to San Diego with our TH.

 

Ah the elusive F-250 that looks like an F-150 picture. 😄

 

With my ETA possibly being Oct 19th, the first long trip will be from Spokane Washington to Beaverton Oregon for Thanksgiving. I was hoping I would get mine before Oct 1st so I could take to our Annual Truck Event, Smoke On the Mountain, a convoy to the Observatory of Mt. St. Helens. But looks like the old truck is going one last time

 

Took it home. 230 mile trip from dealer to front door. Its my first Super Duty and I'm used to a 1/2 ton. I was shocked by the ride. Although a stiffer ride than my half ton.....not by much. Great Stereo, seats are great. Rear cab has tons of room. 15.9mpg @80mph bucking a 10-15MPH headwind. Love everything about it and so will you guys.

 

Good news! How's the road/wind noise...especially around the door seals?

 

Its always hard to be sure, but I think its the quietest out of all of our vehicles. Certainly more quiet than the old GMC. Much more refined interior as well. All buttons are backlit (or all the ones I've found so far), great seats, the sync3 is a great upgrade.....etc.

 

Counter or Clock wise, Just not sure yet as I circumnavigate the state of Texas looking for a new house.

 

Just took a 700 mile road trip in my 17' platinum 450 with a 13k trailer behind it.
