Your video took some time and effort to put together, thank you. I enjoyed watching it. Not in the market for a 2017 but the new truck looks great to my eyes. On the outside and underneath.
This is my favorite quote around any conversation I've read about the new 2017s. I laugh each and every time I read or think about it. Your comments during the video does not seem to align with this comment. Anything to add?

So, today was the day I test drove a 2017 SRW and DRW. My thoughts here if anyone is interested.... https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...r-tonight.html

Iron Cobra...
You state that several times that your F-450 pickup frame is based on the F-450 chassis cab. This spreads misinformation. The F-450 pickup frame is based on the crew cab dually F-350 frame... and as such has more in common with the F-250 crew cab long bed than any F-450 chassis cab, as far as the frame is concerned.
The F-450 chassis cab frame, from the cab back, is narrower rail to rail, with a taller web, a wider flange, and thicker cross section. It is also straight and flat along the top and sides from the cab back, with no contour over the axle like the pickup frames. By contrast, the F-450 pickup frame is shaped just like, well, any Super Duty pickup frame of the same wheelbase and year.
You can verify the distinctions between F-450 chassis cab, F-450 pickup, and F-350 pickup frames (within the same model year) yourself, using your caliper and measuring tape. I think you will be quite surprised at the similarities between your F-450 pickup frame and the same year F-350 pickup frame. Likewise, you will likely be surprised at how different a chassis cab frame actually is, compared to your frame.
