My opinion:

What Ford is doing?

If you go back to the beginning of this forum you will find many who agreed with you. Thankfully, you are well into the minority today. But you are welcome to your opinion. And bless you for sharing it.

 

Definitely not Smaller. Absolutely love this truck. Have driven the 11-16 and now my 17, and this is by far a better truck.

 

You live in Urbana, so its Urbanite law that you must drive a Prius anyways... LOL.

The new SD's look good and are anything but small. I didn't like them at first either, but may order one, even though I have no need for one anymore.

 

Go to the LSU fan boards and pretend to be a Bama fan.

You will get the attention you desperately crave.

 

It's only the Beginning of Super Duty!

 

2004: F150 received a fully boxed frame. 2009: Ford extended the overall length of the Super Cab with 6 1/2' bed, Super Crew with 5 1/2' bed from 224" to 231 1/2."

BANG! Along comes the EPA stating that the 2020 CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) Standard for all auto makers: 30 MPG

Since the F150 is by far, FoMoCo's biggest selling vehicle (followed by the Escape), what could Ford do, drop the fully boxed frame and change the overall length?

No, they went with an aluminum body (the firewall is steel) to save weight...roughly 700 lbs., which I assume is the Super Crew.

My former 2011 F150 Lariat 5.0L 2WD Super Crew weighed 5,875 lbs. parked at the curb. Haven't weighed my 2015 yet.

 

Well, a topic subject like that is bound to get a response. Looks are subjective. In a relatively short amount of time the "old" generation of Super Duty trucks will start to look old. The new truck will look totally the norm. I've found that if manufacturers make something look too evolutionary with a new model then familiarity breeds contempt.

I was one of the early cynics of the styling...but now that I own one, I can still clearly ID this as of Super Duty lineage. Lighter? The most weight it could have lost is 350 lbs. Most trucks will not end up being lighter because of new equipment available on this generation. Smaller? These trucks are physically longer and taller than the previous generation, with width remaining the same or within 0.10". Only the cab itself is physically shorter, but most definitely longer.

This truck is absolutely the state of the art HD pickup truck on the market today.

 

Unfortunately, the end of your manhood also... This truck is the best out there by far.

 

Selling a few million $50,000+ trucks over the next few years because the POWERTRAIN is a rockstar

 

Someone's pockets aren't deep enough?

 

Some engage change and some fight it but nothing can stop it from happening. The 17 Super Duties are the best yet.

 

The Fiat dealer is down the road a piece.
Ford has stolen enough GM and Fiat guys since tge debut of the '17, they were bound to lose one or two. Bye.

 

BINGO!!! STILL WAITING FOR MINE

 

These trucks are nice and will dominant the market as the previous Superduty did. Took a lil side by side shot today at a dealer my '13 F150 don't sit much higher with 6" lift than the '17 Superduty. Oh god I'm feeling the itch noooooo!
