If you are thinking of buying a new Ford Super Duty wait for the 2017's. http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/money/cars/2015/11/30/2017-ford-f-series-pickup-tough-capable/76491184/

I had to find the article.. Sorry

From the article "military-grade, aluminum alloy, which is more dent- and ding-resistant than the outgoing steel body and not subject to red rust corrosion"RED RUST CORROSION. Interesting choice of words.

It should now be called white corrosion. I have that on my F150 hood and the hood and liftgate of my previous vehicle, a Ford Expedition. A horrible mess and very expensive to repair.

The downside to the new ones is that the prices are expected to jump 4-5 grand for the basic set ups, more for the Titanium and King Ranch.

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.
