Anyone planning on buying a 2017 F-350?

I considered this, I like the sound of the stiffer frame, not so sure about the aluminum body. The problem being you wouldn't know if there are problems till 5 years down the road or so. My worries would be paint and cracks.

Truck forums seem to have it that the drive train will be about the same (but a bit more power), and the MSRP will jump about $10K. I guess that's what it did on the aluminum 150 last year. I bought a new 2015 off the lot for about $9K under MSRP.

The '15 is worlds apart from my '99.

I am window shopping for new dually and was shocked that some dealers post $13,500 discounts on the spot on new 2016 trucks.
If 2017 trucks are just around the corner, we can have real bargains on 2016 models.

They are bringing it out this early? So they cut off the date to order a new 2016 already?

Did they have any information on what date your truck might arrive if you did order a 2017? That would be interesting news. . .

The all aluminum body should save 700 pounds compared to the 2016, and that would expect to save you a couple of hundred dollars in fuel each year.

Good luck with your new truck. Everyone who bought a new 6.7L diesel in 2011 got a wonderful truck, and most did not have regrets. . .

Is there a cut off already in January?

I have heard of some of the bells and whistles. But is the basic engine/drive train changing?
