The all-new 2017 Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty trucks are finally here! When they arrive at dealerships this fall, expect the most towing and hauling capability and the most horsepower and torque of any heavy-duty pickup truck.

For example, the redesigned F-Series Super Duty has a maximum gooseneck towing capacity raised to 32,500 lbs on F-450, fifth-wheel towing capacity boosted to class-leading 27,500 lbs, and conventional towing to class-leading 21,000 lbs.

Under the hood is a standard 6.2L V8 engine rated at 385 horsepower or, optionally, a 6.7L Power Stroke turbo-diesel V8 producing 440 horsepower and, wait for it, 925 lb-ft of torque. Both are mated to a 6-speed TorqShift automatic transmission.

Technology on the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty includes blind spot monitoring with trailer tow, adaptive cruise control that works with the heaviest trailers, and Trailer Reverse Guidance to help back trailers up.
