Is it just me?

Is it just me or does anyone else smile when they see another 17 SD on the road with them. I make it a point to throw the nod of approval and a peace sign their direction. 9 out of 10 times they will be looking at you too.

Yes indeed I actually stopped and talked with a guy at a gas station while he was filling up and I was coming out for the store. He said he loved it and I couldn't agree more.

These trucks really do get a lot of looks from guys in other trucks. I've had everything from guys sticking their arms out the window with a thumbs up, to long stares, to the guy that stares out of the corner of his eye like he didn't notice the truck. Those guys always make me laugh.
Anytime I pass another 2017, it's always a mutual wave and nod.

And that'll happen real quick... 2-3 years and it's the old version . The '99-'16s while similar looking to the average person look very different to a truck guy.

I've had tons of compliments on my truck .. I may be biased but I believe the 2017 super dutys are the best looking super duty ford has built .. I get the long looks, the thumbs up and compliments I have never received before .. the truck just draws attention

They are badass. I can't figure out why my stepson doesn't like them. It's not like he's a die hard Dodge guy, he has a F150 (older).

I love them. Can't wait to get one
