How do you visually depict the strength that underlies 7,630 lbs. of payload? What about the durability to tow up to 32,500 lbs. without breaking a sweat? What goes into building a high-strength steel frame that complements the 440 horsepower and 925 lb.-ft. of torque under the 2017 Ford Super Duty's hood?
On behalf of every Ford engineer who reimagined the 2017 Super Duty's improved strength without building a bulkier heavy-duty pickup, we're glad you asked.
The Tough Science torture test you're about to watch is the result of carving off pounds from a surprisingly strong new military-grade aluminum-alloy body. By constructing a model out of lightweight models, engineers were able to reinvest that mass into a tougher, stronger frame than any other in the 2017 Super Duty's class. We're "have our cake and eat it, too" types. Compromising that making our truck stronger meant making it heavier just didn't jive with our stubborn insistence that we could make it both leaner and more powerful. The result is a nimble truck that can shoulder more than 60,000 lbs. with its frame alone.
