On September 24, 2015, Ford unveiled the 2017 Ford Super Duty line at the 2015 State Fair of Texas.

This marks the first all-new Super Duty line since their 1998 debut, the frame is made from 95% high strength steel and the body (like the F-150) is made from aluminum.

For the first time since 1999, both the Super Duty and F-150 lines are constructed using the same cab. In a major departure, the stand-alone front grille and stepped front fenders seen since 1998 were eliminated from the exterior. The 2-bar grille introduced in 2011 was widened, integrating the headlights into its design.

In a switch to an aluminum-intensive body similar to the F-150, Ford created a potential 700 lbs of weight savings; in spite of the addition of heavier-duty frame and driveline components, the 2017 Super Duty weighs in at up to 350 lbs less than comparable 2016 models. Ford strengthened the frame and drivetrain with fortified drive shafts, axles, brakes and the 4WD transfer case. F-250 and F-350 pickups are built on a fully boxed frame; chassis-cab models are produced on a frame boxed up to the rear of the cab and of C-channel design rearward.

For 2017 production, the Super Duty line shares its powertrain lineup with its 2016 predecessor: a 6.2L gasoline V8, 6.8L V10 (F-450 and above), with a 6.7L diesel V8 available in all versions. The 6.2L gasoline V8 engine remains at 385 hp but torque rises from 405 lb-ft to 430 lb-ft. Additionally, the gasoline V8 produces its max torque at over 700 RPM less than the previous 405 lb-ft engine. The 6.7L diesel engine also remains at the same 440 hp but torque increases from 860 lb-ft upwards to 925 lb-ft. The diesel engine now produces its peak torque at 1800RPM instead of the previous 1600RPM. The F-250 receives a TorqShift-G six-speed automatic while all other Super Duty trucks are paired with the 6R140 6-speed automatic. Crew Cab models will have a 48-gallon fuel tank.

The interior design of the all-new Super Duty is similar to that of the 2015 Ford F-150, and shares many of the F-150's components.

Trim levels will continue to be XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch Edition, and Platinum. Cab configurations continue to be 2-Door Regular Cab, 4-Door Super Cab, and 4-Door Super Crew Cab (the F-450, in pickup truck configuration, is only available in this configuration), with Short Box (6' 9") and Long Box (8') bed lengths. The truck will be available in F-250, F-350, and F-450 pickup truck models, and F-350, F-450, and F-550 chassis cab models. All will be available in both 4X2 and 4X4 configurations. The F-350 will be the only model available in either Single Rear Wheel (SRW) or Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) configurations, the F-450 and F-550 will only be available in a Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) configuration, and the F-250 will only be available in a Single Rear Wheel configuration. Base prices in the U.S. range from $32,535 (F-250 XL) to $77,125 (F-450 Platinum). Full pricing is available on the manufacturer's website.

All engines will be paired with a "TorqShift" 6-speed automatic transmission, with the gasoline engines featuring Ford's all-new "TorqShift-G" automatic transmission.

The Super Duty will be available in eleven exterior color options.

Recalls

On 4-1-2017, 52,000 Ford F-250 Super Duty trucks built between October 2015 to April 2017 were recalled due to the parking brake and transmission causing the truck to move while the truck's transmission is in park.

Variants

Medium-duty trucks (F-650 and F-750)

In 2000, Ford returned to the Class 6-7 truck market as it expanded the Super Duty line into the medium-duty segment. Developed in a joint venture with Navistar International, the F-650 and F-750 Super Duty were assembled in Mexico. While the chassis and other components would be common to both manufacturers, Ford and International would each source their own bodywork and powertrain; the cab for the Ford trucks would be common with other Super Duty models.

For the 2016 model year, the medium-duty truck range was given a major upgrade, following the end of the joint venture and the shift of the production to the United States. In place of outsourced engines and transmissions, the 2016 F-650 and F-750 now use a 6.8L gasoline V10, a 6.7L PowerStroke diesel V8, and a 6-speed automatic transmission supplied by Ford.

Sport-utility vehicles

From 2000 to 2005, the F-250 Super Duty served as a basis for the Ford Excursion sport-utility vehicle. Along with Chevrolet Suburban (and its Cadillac/GMC/Holden counterparts) and the International Harvester Travelall, the Ford Excursion is the longest non-limousine sport-utility vehicle ever sold.

While the Excursion was largely sold in North America and Mexico, a similar vehicle was sold in Brazil from 1998 to 2012 as a second-party conversion of the Ford F-250 crew-cab (similar to the Centurion F-Series/Bronco conversions).

Armored vehicles

As a result of the heavy-duty frame and powertrain of its chassis, the Ford Super Duty has served as a donor platform for multiple types of armored vehicles, for civilian, law enforcement, and military use. Most versions are constructed using the Ford F-550 chassis cab. Examples include the Lenco BearCat, Plasan Sand Cat, GAV Gurkha, and Conquest Knight XV.
