2017 F-250 Ike Gauntlet
F-250 Ike

I too like the new features, bigger cab, and chassis refinements on the new Superduties. While not a huge fan of the new body styling, I'm sure it will grow on me.
I am however a bit disappointed in the performance of these new rigs. I fully expected the aluminum bodies and increased torque to have some actual real world benefits that would be demonstrated in these types of challenges.
To see the 2017 F350 come up short in the Ike Gauntlet surprised me and made me that much happier I bought a 2015 F450 instead of waiting 6 months for the 2017's. And why did they lose the massive S130 rear axle for the 2017 F450's? Was it to save weight?
Is the torque management that much more aggressive in the new models? The 2015 F450 dominated the competition with less torque? What's up?
