The new Super Cab models are also growing. The new models are
6 inches longer, while Regular Cab and Crew Cab are
stretching 4 inches each versus prior generations. Notable in the length, Rathsburg says,(
marketing manager for Ford’s Super Duty) is that while the cabs got bigger, the cab to axle length is unchanged.
“We added more space without changing the upfit specs,” he says.
Super Duty also features six auxiliary switches—up from four in previous model years—and they’ve been moved to the headliner for easier access.
Amperage gets a boost from 25 to 40 amps on the first two, which are always hot. The remaining four switches are 25 amps each.

Ford announced a very blue-collar option for its most white-collar pickup trucks this week.
"Premium" vinyl floors are coming to the
Super Duty King Ranch and Platinum trims.
While vinyl floors on something like a $58,000-luxury pickup might make for an odd juxtaposition, we have to admit,
Ford's application here looks like it deserves the "premium" part of its name. Rather than loose, ill-fitting floors, like you get on a
work truck,
Ford used thicker vinyl and molded the Super Duty's floors properly. The results are impressive – it doesn't look cheap at all.
"Super Duty customers want a truck that can rival
luxury cars in comfort and technology without having to worry about it getting dirty,"
Ford truck group marketing manager Doug Scott said in a statement. "
They want the luxury of a King Ranch or Platinum edition, while maintaining their ability to use the truck for work without fear of ruining the interior."
The new floors are standard on the 2017 Super Duty XL and will be optional on the XLT, King Ranch, and Platinum.
