2017 F350 dually with 6.7 opinions
In the market for a new truck and I'm not brand loyal. I'm curious about the Ford and how it compares in reliability and fuel mileage with the other trucks. Right now I'm torn between Ram and Ford. ...

The 2017 SuperDuty trucks are somewhat new vehicles.
They use the same powertrains as last year with a few tweaks. (The bugs have been worked out in the engines' first 6 years.)
The cab is the same as the 2016/2017 F150--so Ford has the bugs worked out of it.
They've got new front end sheet metal, but the biggest difference is in the new frame--a completely new design. And a very heavy, beefy frame it is.
Ford got 17 years out of last generation SuperDuty, and even my 2003 model looks great by any standards. Buy the 2017 SuperDuty, and you won't have to trade it for a long time. That's the value you get--especially since all the 3/4 ton and 1 ton diesels now cost 2x what my F250 costs.
