Not so much relevant to the 2017 super duty, but thought this was interesting when discussing the cost of trucks. When you get away from base prices and load up on options this is where the 2016 trucks fell based on MSRP according to Car and Driver.

These days, it’s alarming the ease with which one can option a light-duty pickup truck to nearly $50,000. It isn’t for lack of discipline, either; once you get through adding four-wheel drive, power options, and a family-friendly number of doors, the price tag of most any full-size truck invariably starts with a “4” and rises from there.
But that’s only the beginning—with a little effort, you can have a luxury-lined behemoth for $60K, $70K, or even $80 grand. We’ve gathered just such a crew here, with the only prerequisites being that the truck is on sale at the time of publication (
February 2016) and carries a base price of at least $50,000 for the given trim level with the minimum number of driven wheels. (If four-wheel drive is an option, the qualifying price reflects the two-wheel-drive iteration of a given rig.) If a trim level starts at less than $50,000 in its minimum form, say, with a regular cab, it doesn’t qualify. Simple. (For instance, the top trim levels of the Toyota Tundra, the Platinum and the 1794 Edition, start at $47,725 in CrewMax, two-wheel-drive form, hence that automaker’s absence from this list.)
To show how expensive each truck can get, we loaded them up to the hilt with every reasonable option available (short of niche bits such as snowplow prep packages, gooseneck tow hitches, etc.) and ranked them from least- to most-expensive.
