All-New Ford F-Series Super Duty Earns 2017 Motor Trend Truck of the Year
2017 #ford F-Series #superduty – the toughest, smartest, most capable #superduty ever – has been named 2017 Motor Trend #truck of the Year
All-new #superduty features best-in-class towing and hauling capability along with 17 segment-first productivity technologies including adaptive steering and 360-degree camera system
6.7-liter Power Stroke® V8, with best-in-class 925 lb.-ft. of torque and 440 horsepower, earns Motor Trend recognition as one of the best engineered, most capable diesel engines – outperforming its competitors
Los Angeles, Nov. 14, 2016 – The all-new 2017 #ford F-Series #superduty – the toughest, smartest, most capable #superduty ever – has won the 2017 Motor Trend #truck of the Year title – the first time the #superduty has taken home this prize.
“We are honored to win this year’s Motor Trend #truck of the Year Award as it underscores how the all-new 2017 #ford Super Dutys are the toughest, smartest and most capable trucks we’ve ever built,” said Joe Hinrichs, Ford’s president of The Americas. “For 39 consecutive years, #ford F-Series has been America’s favorite #truck, and now Motor Trend has given one of our F-Series top honors for the fifth time.”
Using advanced materials to reduce weight, #superduty introduces all-new segment-exclusive smart technology features to help increase customer productivity, comfort and convenience.
The backbone of the #truck is an all-new fully boxed frame comprising more than 95 percent high-strength steel that’s up to 24 times stiffer than the previous frame – enabling best-in- class towing and hauling capability. High-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy for the body is more dent- and ding-resistant than outgoing steel and not subject to red rust corrosion.
These materials combine to help reduce weight by up to 350 pounds, with #ford engineers reinvesting that savings everywhere it counts to give customers more towing and hauling capability than ever.
The all-new F-Series #superduty also features heavier-duty four- wheel-drive components, driveline, axles and towing hardware.
With towing central to the mission, driving and work situations are made easier and more comfortable with 17 segment-first productivity technologies. Up to seven cameras help drivers see angles and monitor conditions surrounding the #truck to make not just conventional towing, but gooseneck and fifth-wheel towing simpler and more efficient than ever. Available adaptive steering also results in improved efficiency and effort.
With more power than ever, the Ford-designed, Ford-engineered, Ford-built 6.7-liter Power Stroke®turbo diesel V8 now delivers a best-in-class combination of 440 horsepower and a staggering 925 lb.-ft. of torque. That power is standard for every diesel #pickup, from F-250 to F-450, with no special tuning or unique hardware required – making the all-new F-Series #superduty the undisputed powerhouse.
“We judge the contenders based on six categories – from design to efficiency to performance – characterizing the things consumers want most in their next vehicle,” said Ed Loh, Motor Trend editor- in-chief. “The all-new 2017 #ford #superduty met and exceeded our criteria, truly proving it is the undisputed leader in towing, capability and power – exactly what #truck customers want. Motor Trend is excited to crown this purpose-built machine this year’s #truck of the Year.”
