Die cast model?
Different type of question for you all...
I have a bunch of die cast models of the vehicles I've owned over the years (Corvette, BWM GS Adventure motorcycle, etc...). Have any of you found a '17 Super duty model out there yet? Google search didn't really yield anything, but I know there are just a ton of dealers/manufacturers of this type of stuff, so I'm hopeful one of you has found something out there.
Otherwise, I'll just chalk it up to it being too early/too new for the toy industry to catch up.
Thanks!

Licensing can be expensive, and some manufacturers are stingier than others about supplying documents as sensitive as design sheets to make die-cast models. Chrysler was quick to license the then-radical 1994 Ram design because they had nothing to lose and the publicity would help sales (I have two of the 1/18 models since I had a 1996 Ram). Ford won't gain much with such a Super Duty model, so they'd likely wait longer (if at all). The F-150 is more a consumer truck and sells much higher than the SD, so F-150 toys sell well and are worth it to Ford.

So, since Ford has licensed them for what appears to be every previous generation, I would expect them to do for the current style. It looks like you are just a bit early to buy one, but I expect they will be out fairly soon.

I did a quick Google image search for Ford F250 and every iteration popped up...except the 2017.
