The all-new 2017 Super Duty was introduced at the 2015 Texas State Fair. It’s the toughest, smartest, most capable Ford Super Duty ever. Why?

The frame is fully-boxed, with through-welded cross members. And engineered for extremes, with 6 times more high-strength steel and up to 24 times stiffer. Bigger, stronger, and more capable axles. Upgraded suspension and steering for better ride and handling. Upgraded powertrains with more torque than ever. Bigger brakes for better stopping. And the hitches are bigger and stronger to handle larger loads.

The all-new 2017 Super Duty Chassis Cab was introduced at the 2015 Texas State Fair. It’s the ultimate in upfitting. No other truck offers you this many configuration options with this easy an upfit. With more towing, more payload and higher GCWR, it’s the most capable Super Duty ever. As jobs get more demanding, it’s good to know your Super Duty can unleash the right amount of fury from under the hood with upgraded powertrains. The frame is fully boxed under the cab and C-Channel behind the cab. Providing better safety, better ride, and handling, and is still as adaptable as ever for easier upfitting.

Ford Super Duty line of trucks have been the go-to tool for hard-working individuals for over 30 years. Now Ford goes the extra mile by adding new technologies and upgraded engines to its Super Duty line, which include the F-250, F-350 and F-450. Below are the impressive upgrades to the whole 2015 Super Duty line.

A Powerful Engine Redesigned

The all-new 2015 Super Duty line includes an improved 6.7 liter Power Stroke engine that blows the competition away. Ford promises this V8 monster will deliver 860 pounds of torque and up to 440 horsepower, thanks to its upgraded technology. Part of the updates include a larger turbocharger and compressor vane, which deliver on-demand performance when more power is needed, thus improving fuel efficiency.  A new graphite iron engine block replaces the old cast iron one, giving way to improved strength and lighter weight.

In addition, the redesigned engine introduces new features to improve the Super Duty’s reliability. To ensure quick start-ups in all temperatures, Ford uses instant-start glow spark plugs, which reach operating temperatures in two seconds. The new Super Duty engine also uses aluminum cylinder heads with dual water jackets, which reduce the overheating associated with diesel engines.

Durability Features At Its Best

Ford Super Duty is built for continuous hard work, and engineers test the limits of the all-new engine under the toughest conditions for 250,000 miles. Just like Ford’s 2015 F-150, the foundation of the Super Duty’s toughness is its strong steel frame, which reinforces stress areas and improves flexibility. Also, as customers asked for a stronger bed, Ford is introducing Tough Bed, a unique factory-installed bed liner that resists scratching and improves durability. There’s nothing more rewarding than a dependable, reliable workhorse.

Towing Capabilities

The new line of super trucks is not only the most powerful and durable, is also the most capable. The 2015 Ford Super Duty achieves best-in-class maximum towing thanks to its available dual-rear-wheel 4×4, resulting in a towing capability of up to 31,200 pounds. Combine that with amazing technology like trailer sway control, hill assist and electronic-locking rear differential and you’ve got a top-of-the-line smart yet tough truck.

Productivity and Technology Features

So what good is to own the toughest truck out there without smarts? The 2015 Ford Super Duty has the latest technology and helps you be more productive while driving better. First, the Super Duty comes equipped with SYNC with MyFord Touch, which lets you make calls and access your entertainment system with simple voice commands. Second is the productivity screen, which provides information on fuel economy, towing performance and access all kinds of vehicle information such as oil temperature and off-road data.

As you can see, Ford is increasingly listening to its heavy-duty customers and brings features that extend the performance and durability of Super Duties, not to mention its position against competitors. Stop by Lamarque Ford today to look at our 2015 Super Duty inventory.
