Torklift Stuff for 2017 Ford SDs

I contacted Torklift about when they would have tiedowns and receiver hitches for the new 2017 Ford SuperDuties with the aluminum beds and the redesigned boxed chassis. They said it should be about 2 months after the trucks started showing up at the dealers. So I'm guessing sometime around October.

Anyone who loads their truck like they dumped those blocks into that ford should have a damaged truck bed. It ain't a dump truck.

Hopefully, Ford will use very thick aluminum for the interior of the pickup box. 10 gauge tread sheet would be nice.
Have you seen the commercial (Silverado I believe) where the cement blocks puncture the bed. And .....yes under their Conviently Controlled Conditions. Good luck with your new truck, I'm anxious to see em' also. More payload:)
Yes I've seen the commercial. It was either Chevy or GMC.

I've was by there a lot, but I have to say that I prefer George Dickel No 12 for Tennessee Whisky compared to any Jack Daniels which I can tolerate. I can tolerate the round dually fenders, too.

I'm only about an hour away from Lynchburg. It was still a dry county last time I was up there.

That will be nice if they change the dually fenders back to how they looked in '99-'10.

Or, better yet, copy Dodge and do a really nice, smooth one-piece bed side with integrated dually fenders.

Those Dodge duallys are super sexy!

I love my truck... I do... I should be in a country music song... Got my Ford, Got my dog, Got my John Deere Tractor.... Got my gun... And I got my Jack Daniels Ole Number 7 whiskey.
But I've always thought the same thing about the Dodge duallys. Always seemed like Ford just scabbed on the fenders if a dually came down the line, Dodge made and actual effort at a design change to make their duallys look cool.

Not really worth a new thread, but interested that they are changing the rear fender style for the DRWs again. I did see a different article that said the payload goes up as well.
