New Truck

I'm planning to get a new F250 crew cab diesel next year. I like the looks of both the 2016 & 2017 models, and was wondering the pros & cons other than a price increase between the 2. Will be pulling a travel trailer that weights around 9000 lbs. Thanks

Well no one has a 2017 yet so its kind of hard to tell you many pros and cons, other than the somewhat limited information ford has released

Personally, I like the aluminum body and would hold out for one of those. Anything that helps with rust control is a pro for me. I like the way the 17 looks compared to the 08-16 models too.

I realize the 17's are not on sale yet. Just wondered if anyone might have heard or seen something that might be worth waiting for. I do like the aluminum body on the 17.
