Super Duty redesign?
 

Is the Super Duty line still slated for a complete makeover? I'd like to plan ahead.

I still think it's gonna be till '15 or '16 the earliest we'd see a new design.

i hope not. They dont really have any reason to. I think their sales are probably fine, and mechanically everything seems pretty fit right now. What do you think they would or should change if they did redesign it?

Complete make over? Meaning chassis and cab design? I doubt it. But we may see a new facade around 2015

I think Ford showcased the Atlas concept at the Detroit auto show as the new F series truck, but it looks like it will be for the F-150

Hopefully not, every new generation that comes out makes mine look that much older :)

I hope they don't make any major changes because if they did I have a bad feeling they'd put an IFS under the front and do away with the manual hubs. The only thing I don't like about the current SD is the huge grill.

Maybe they will update the frame and axles to give it more capacity. It's been a little over 7 years since the last update. I could use more carrying capacity in a SRW.

I heard 1-2 years ago that 2014 was the redesign. I seriously doubt they would put IFS under it. The cab still works well now, but Dodge has made huge advancements with their cab space, and GM with their frame strength. I'd like to see Ford stay on top. I think 15 years on a cab design is enough, and I'm ready to take it to the next level. I'm wondering if the fact that the Atlas concept looks bigger may signal a return to one common body for the F150 & Super Duty Like before 98. I may order a new F550 in the next 1-2 years, but really don't want the same cab again.

From what I have read the Atlas concept included the aluminum body and was only for the F150 platform.

Not gonna happen anymore. The tires themselves can't take the weight...

A complete makeover of chassis and all won't be for probably 5 more years. The last chassis ford had was around for 20+ years.

The new design will come when new mileage standards force it. What is the gvw cutoff where they are not included in the corporate average anymore?


When the epa mandates the 25/350 get 25mpg you will see a manor redesign!

And the 450 will become way more popular!!

there has to be changes in order to complete with Ram and their 2013's. But what the Changes will be is hard to say right now.

The Chassis is fine for me (I buy 550's), I just want a new/updated body with more interior room. My F150 Regular cab has a lot more cab length than My 550, and you can recline the seats. The last chassis design was 80-97. I heard a couple years ago class 2-5 Fuel economy standards are starting in 2014. NO specific numbers, but that they must improve by a percentage of previous years.

if they don't put a manual transmission in it they can make it look like a VW beetle or a Ferrari for all I care. They won't get dime one from me.
