Has anyone got their new super duty with the 6.2L? If so how does it feel? Cause I know they lowered the tq peak and also what transmission did you go with?

 

I've only actually seen a 2017 SD in real life once and that was sitting in front of a dealership last Saturday night. I have yet to see one on the road but I guess we will be seeing a lot of them soon.

 

Is there two transmission options?

 

Depends on the Model with the 6.2L gasser only, the F250 has a new lighter Transmission where the F350 stays the same as the previous yrs.

 

Gotcha, thanks

 

I have driven both. I recently purchased a 2016 but drove the 2017 with the 6.2

Here is the thread:

Well I've only gone 1xx miles so far, but I will say my new one feels much faster. It also pulls a lot harder during acceleration up to 70(thats all I've done).
I have a very bumpy concrete paneled 35mph road where I live. I am really impressed how much smoother the new truck is vs the 16. I don't worry about ride much, but the new truck has definitely improved.
Working hard to get it broke in and some miles racked up.
Last truck: 2016 F250 6.2 XL CCSB 3.73
New truck: 2017 F250 6.2 XL CCSB 4.30

 

I'm happy for you getting some time with your new truck and most of us know but you left out that you went from 3.73 to 4.3 gears while upgrading to the '17.

 

I too would be interested to hear more about the 17 6.2 with the 4.30s.

Can you tell a difference in pedal response? If so, how much is coming from the gearing vs new trans?

Opinions on the new trans?

Milage? I know its early, but those of us waiting on a 17 want to know

 

What I'm wondering is can you tell the 2017 superduty from the new f150s?

 

Even though they share the same cab, the super duty is much larger on the lot no mistaking them for a F150

 

I would also like to hear more from owners of 2017 6.2 with 4.30 gears and what weight is being towed.

 

So far(small sample), on my usual daily drive 50/50, I'm running 11 town and 16 hwy. This is resetting the on board meter. That is 1mpg better than my '16 would read. I'm also running 285/65/20's which are quite a bit larger than my last. I need to re-calibrate my speedo though. Once broke in, I expect to be roughly 2mpg's better than my '16 for my use. Aside from that, the truck is quicker which I accredit mostly to gearing. Secondly, I feel a much harder pull when accelerating which will be a combo of gears and more torque at the lower rpm. The off the line power is substantially better than my last 3.73 truck. I don't notice any real tranny difference yet.
I can't imagine wanting 3.73's for a work truck 6.2.
The new SD is big, in fact 3" taller at the top of tailgate(61.5"), 3" at the bedrail from ground measured at rear wheel, and the receiver is 3" higher off ground than my 2016 F250 was.
I know I'm getting older, but this may be the 1st truck I ever lower. The rake is just over 3" and I may drop the rear 1" via a 2" block(3" factory).

 

Happy for you and your excellent looking '17.

 

Can you notice that the power comes on in the lower rpms? I think between that and a 4.30 rear end I will see a big difference in low end power. On a side note, I went to my local dealer to speak with my salesman about the truck I want to order and you would think I knew nothing when I mentioned to him about going to a 4.30 end. He thought I would regret and wouldn't ever understand why anybody would do that. My dad ordered a 15 platinum dually and I explained to him about the better rear end and the dealer convinced him that the 3.73 was better. Well my pops ain't happy with his choice and wants a diesel again lol.
