There probably will be, but you'll be limited to what the have on the lot.

There are compromises to everything.

We typically replace our vehicles before they require the huge scheduled maintenance service and tires. We purchased a new 2015 F250 in 11/14. I we'll give the 17' a yr or so before we jump into that new $70,000 truck.

Normally, I agree that at some point in time you have to pull the trigger. And you also have to realize that there will ALWAYS be something bigger and better that will come out after you have purchased.

But this is a little different. The 2017 SuperDuty is going to be a substantial change over the 2016. If I was buying a Ford, I would try to wait.

I agree, after nearly 16years with a early 99 Superduty, it was time for a new truck, just couldn't see jumping right back into the same truck I had for 16 years. One of the many reasons I didn't go Ford again.

I am considering a 2017 or newer Ford, but I want to see a couple changes first , HPFP being one of them.

Sounds like a paint process on the newer vehicles. I wonder if there has been some sort of reformulation because if epa.

I absolutely hate the way the auto manufacturers "beta test" their paint procesess on ther customers... After a few years they seem to get it right.. All of them have been guilty over the years. Hopefully they have it figured out on this new Ford body... But I would not buy any brands first ones... Wait a few years to let them practice on other peoples trucks.

Our 2008 Expedition aluminum tailgate started bubbling after six years. Ford looked at it and said "Warranty!" Three years after a repaint, it still is perfect. I'd be first in line for a 2017, but a loaded Lariat diesel crew will cost close to $80k. A loaded F150 now cost $65k plus. My 2013 F350 may just be around a long time. Haters are going to hate aluminum, electronic gadgets, trailer assist, yada, yada, yada. When the Superduty finally gets an EcoBoost, and it will, the next group of haters will arise. We just need to be thankful that most don't resist change or improvements or we'd still be driving horses and buggies.

The link to the info is below:

That's from a newspaper not Ford. Haven't seen anything from Ford that says that.

Well Spud, it sounds like the newspaper is quoting a release from Ford's Mike Levine? So this may be accurate info.

Where's a link to "your" info that v10 will still only be in the chassis/cab's?

Personally, I was hoping they introduce a 5.0L Ecoboost...:W

Here is a link to Ford's media release.

https://media.ford.com/content/dam/fordmedia/North%20America/US/product/2016/super-duty/2017-super-d...

Go to the Powertrain PDF. Says it all there. V10 is in Chassis Cabs

Too late, out with the mint 2011, and in with the upgraded 2016. Depreciation schedule for business. Gonna love this F-350 King Ranch !!

Airstream ? When was the last time you saw an painted Airstream. Paint can't flake off of a metal it was never used on. And Airliners ? I doubt 99.9% of people would have any idea if a painted commerical airliner was having a peeling paint issue. The fact that they fly 600 mph also may be a factor as compared to 80 mph on a roadway for a Mustang.

If the metal holds up to the weather and abuse of being outside in the elements for decades, and traveling at 600mph, then I'd be happy to have it on my truck, where it'll see far less severe duty.

Perfecting the paint process would be great. But I'll take durable over pretty for my truck pretty much every time. Though I admit I might reverse that decision if I drove a Mustang.

You do realize that planes get repainted every couple of years, and the paint they use often costs over $1000 per gallon.

This is not correct. Just a heads up correction. Delta repaints their planes every 7 to 8 years. They are completely stripped and primed with a zinc-chromate primer before paint to help with adhesion. keep in mind that these planes go through several heat cycles every day from -100 degrees depending on altitude to what ever the ground temp is. Lots of expanding and contracting. If it can hold up to this I have no problem with it on my car or truck.
Info is from my nephew who is a executive with Delta out of Atl.
