2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty Trailer Reverse Guidance System – Video

All-new F-Series Super Duty offers innovative Trailer Reverse Guidance – an available technology that uses cameras to see more angles, monitor conditions surrounding the truck and provide real-time coaching guidance while maneuvering a trailer. Two patents on the first-of-its-kind trailering and camera system are pending.

About 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty

There’s no mistaking the 2017 truck for anything but Ford Super Duty. Although the fascia retains the same blocky, almost-futuristic theme, Ford took the opportunity to move some things around and to fully commit to the LED craze. Ringed by LED driving lights, the quad-beam headlamps are themselves lit by LEDs and have been pulled forward, leaving only the turn indicators to sweep back into the fenders. The grille is a hybridization of previous Ford-truck styling efforts, utilizing the two-bar main graphic, now dotted with perforations in some versions. The oversize wheel flares remain, although they’re now blended more smoothly into the rest of the body.

Engine choices haven’t changed much. Returning is the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V-8 turbo-diesel, which tops the list in terms of horsepower and torque, and the 6.2-liter V-8 gasoline engine, now paired with Ford’s TorqShift-G (which sounds more like the name of a hip-hop group) six-speed automatic transmission for the F-250 pickup, the first time this gearbox has been used with a gas engine. Chassis cabs offer a choice of 6.7-liter V-8 Power Stroke diesel, 6.2-liter gasoline V-8, or 6.8-liter gasoline V-10. Although Ford didn’t reveal any specific horsepower, torque, or towing figures, it did offer this rather ambiguous tidbit: “Super Duty customers will be able to tow and haul more than ever before.” Ford also touts “heavier-duty four-wheel-drive components, driveline, axles, and towing hardware” but didn’t release any details on those changes.
