Anyone have a 17 super duty?

Does anyone have one yet? They sure look slick curious to see how people like them. I am considering a F-450.

I would be very interested to hear how people are liking them as well. I have done a lot of research on the new F-450s also, but doesn't seem anyone who has bought them has really had the chance to work them yet. They seem like a **** good truck, depending on which side of the fence you sit on when it comes to the aluminium bodies. I'll be following this one.

I did see this about a brand new 2017 F-450;

Why Is This Brand New Ford F-45 Shooting Flames Out Of Its Tailpipe? [UPDATE]

I realize this is a one-off, imagine spending almost $100K (Canadian) on a brand new F-450 and this is what you get. Ford finally bought the truck back but not without grief from the dealer. The issue was due to a faulty repair after the truck was built.

Other than this, I have yet to see anything on the 17 SDs.

Saw some commercials that they are aluminum like the f150s now.

I wonder if they use a little thicker aluminum for the bed?

They do have thicker aluminum on the bed. I've driven two of them so far. A F-250 and a 350 dually. Really was very impressed with both. I saw a 450 at one dealer. Looks just like the 350, but has one more leaf spring. Very impressive interiors and exterior design. A lot of punch in the mid range/passing range.

From what I can tell the beds are not near as flimsy as the GM commercial makes them out to be. Especially if you put in a spray in bed liner like I do on all trucks anyway there will be no issues under normal circumstances.

I own GM and Ford vehicles I have no favorite brand I just think the problem is overstated.

Ya GM does not show the whole filming of that commercial. I saw it on you tube. It was done with three groups of people and one time it punctured that cold rolled steel bed, UH OH how did that happen.
