2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty: This Is More Of It

Honestly, it looks like a refresh of the 2008 model.

I'll reserve judgment for better pictures later tonight, but right now, I'm kinda meh on it.

 

Dude, it looks nothing like the '08 model. Of course, I've got an '08 in the garage, so I see it rather regularly. :)

 

The A-pillar back has a Dodgish look to it (which I actually like). Windows seem shorter, hood more squared off. Headlights...hmmm, I'm not liking them so far. Can't wait to see more pics tonight.

 

 

I still think the bodyside height looks too short. Maybe because it is lower than the window sill?

 

I believe you are right. The bed isn't as tall as the bottom of the windows. I think they kept roughly the same bed height, but the windows are a little shorter. The bed appears to hit between the bottom of the window and the kickdown near the mirror.

 

Personally, I'm most interested in what's under the hood and what's underneath, not to mention the interior.

Looks like we all expected which is a spruced up F150. Couple things that I don't care for are the fender vent (Got rid of it in 2010 and should have kept it off), bed height is too low and front bumper is straight across the top again like the 08-10.

 

The '11-'16 had the vent as well, though it was up higher. I'm thinking it is necessary for the PowerStroke.

The ones on the 11-16 are not vents and are not meant to look it (the one in the picture is aftermarket), the 08-10 have a large opening in the fender for the vents. Perhaps for the 6.4 they were required.

I wasn't referring to details - I just meant the overall feel of it. The front end design (especially the headlight shape into the fender) is similar to that '08 model. I agree from there back it looks different (though using the F-150 cab and not the same on it used since '98 guaranteed that).

 

 

Cab is the same. Fenders are different with seemingly less sculpting on the Super Duty.

 

Not sure on the bed size. The F150 has always had 6'-6" bed whereas the SD had 6'-9".

 

Not sure about the size either, but it's definitely a different bed (or at least the skin is)....the taillights are different than the F-150.

Yeah, I can see that. It's definitely nice to see an all new cab for the first time in nearly 20 years!
