2017 F250 Superduty

[Mafesto]

I was surprised they didn't announce some type of EcoBoost engine. In the F150 I'll take the 3.5 EcoBoost over the 6.2 V8 any day. I guess the have a year to work on it for a last minute announcement.

I agree, but it wouldn't surprise me if the 6.2 gets better mileage in the Heavy Duty.

I have found that if you are working the ecoboost, it does like it's fuel, and punching that size of a hole in the air may keep that engine on the boost the majority of the time.
Just a thought?

Yep, a friend just sold his eco boost with lift and 35's. Said it was always on boost and got poor mileage. Was going back to a diesel.

I love the new 2017 Superduty. Looks awesome. I wonder if they'll have 15yr payment plans.

The interior shots make it look virtually like the 150. The center arm rest is about the same width as well. The previous Super Duty arm rest was super wide and I don't see that now.

For ease and cost of manufacturing it does make sense to use one cab for the product lines like the other 2 Domestic trucks do instead of a large (F150) and Super Large (previous Super Duty).

Didn't they say somewhere that is WAS identical to the F150?

I'll bet that if he had a 6.2 liter in that rig it would have dropped a similar amount.

The problem with the ecoboost is the heat it generates. Kinda surprised they ford hasn't started using an under piston squirter like GM uses. This helps control piston temps with oil cooling the bottom. The Ecoboost ends up spraying extra fuel on the Piston surface.

My wife has the 2.0 EB in her Explorer and just cruising down the highway it is idling right under boost. It only takes a slight breeze on the throttle and the boost starts building and the mileage drops fast. That makes me nervous for a pickup that I am running up and down hills with that it will not make up the mileage on the downhill run that I ate up going up.

I have a 2013 F150 with the ecoboost, the thing I like with the boost is pulling up and down hills it never shifts when towing I just lock it in 5th gear. My lifetime average is 16.5, but yes the wind matters, but it does in any vehicle for MPG's. Pulling a 28' enclosed with 5 sleds I got 8-10mpg running 75mph on the interstate, going on multi trips out west.

Let me guess. It's going to be a 950 ftlb monger motor that weighs 9000 lbs can tow 20,000 lb straight up a wall will cost 85,000 dollars and will come with a 99 litre fuel tank..... Wth is wrong with all these manufacturers ????? This truck and all the rest of the monster tow vehicles come with tanks fit for a 4 cyl

Because some guys would never stop to let the wife use a restroom

That is SUCH A GOOD POINT.
What is the deal with the SMALL FUEL TANKS?

 

[volcano buster]

Does it cut into their max payload numbers if the useful sized tank is full?

It would have to wouldn't it?

 

[94fordguy]

I'm not sure if it's still true, but I have always been under the impression that the short bed trucks have a 26 gallon tank while the long bed trucks like mine have a 38 gallon tank. Just another reason I wanted to have a Long Bed! There's only so much room under these trucks to fit a tank and have it somewhat protected from all the junk we find ourselves driving over!

That's about what I get with my 2003 Super Duty 5.4 pulling a 30' trailer with four 155" sleds and a lot of beer. I may not get there as fast as you big boys do, but I always get there. In one piece. I had a 2000 Super Duty V-10. Blew one spark plug out on one head and a year later one on the other head. No more V-10s for me after that. I think 2009 was the last year for them? Anyway I like the looks of the new Super Duty and the current 2015 F-150. Last may I rented a 2015 F-150 3.5 Eco Boost for 9 days and was very impressed

Small Tanks.

After paying the previously mentioned $85,000 ,who can fill up? Would be useful (but dangerous to SOME) to have a pick off point to fuel sleds from electric fuel tank pump. Just dreaming.

 

[Mafesto]

They still offer the 6.8 V10 in the F450 & F550 for '17

 

[summ8rmk]

The V10 has been around since 1997, it has gone through many changes but never went away.
Since 2011 it has been available in the chassis cab.

Yes, but I think 2009 was the last year for small trucks. F-150 thru F-350?
Diesels scare me. I have a friend that has a Cummings in his Dodge. He had to replace the injectors. He said $4000. I have no idea if that's true or not. Other than my John Deere backhoe, I have never owned a diesel.

 

[summ8rmk]

Injectors are ~$300 each. Usually good for 200,000+ miles. So, yeah $2-3k to replace urself. U could rebuild a gas engine for that amount.

I don't think the V-10 was ever offered in a F-150. The cab/chassis trucks are f-250s through f-550 so it was still offered in "smaller" trucks.
