ExplorerDude Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Looks like the new Super Duty is taking shape in its new skin. http://www.trucktrend.com/features/news/2015/1503_spied_2017_ford_f_series_super_duty/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Not surprised but nice to see it slowly take form. I wonder what the gas option will be alongside the Powerstroke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Still waiting to see what Pioneer said would blow us away (or something to that effect). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcthorne Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 My question is with the 6.2l gone, what gas engine will the new SD offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Still waiting to see what Pioneer said would blow us away (or something to that effect). The engine? No idea how on earth you're going to fit the 6.7L in that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 The engine? No idea how on earth you're going to fit the 6.7L in that thing. Not the F150. He said something like "Wait til you see what they're doing with the SuperDuty" and implying it would be something remarkable and noteworthy.

Bob Rosadini Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Just hope the drop down front window remains. Some reference that the window line was straight??? RJ-what makes you think the 6.7 "won't fit"??? Wonder if they might be thinking of a unitized front tilting hood assembly of some sort? Lookingat how the engine bays onthese things are "stuffed" at some point in time it might be time for some fresh thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I don't think I said "blown away". I think I implied people would be surprised. At the time, everybody thought the two trucks wouldn't share anything. If I implied "blown away" reactions, I apologize. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 It could be. That spy photo is the most crappy one ever in terms of seeing what the final product will look like. It looks like a giant sofa slip cover with wheels. Something revolutionary may be under there... under two feet of fabric. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstock Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Still waiting to see what Pioneer said would blow us away (or something to that effect). Next-gen 4.4? With vehicle weight reductions, a next-gen 4.4 designed from the get-go for high boost and high-octane propane/NG/alcohol along with the next transmissions, might work well as an F-250/350 option, just wondering.

I had already assumed the SD and F150 would be sharing a lot more than it currently does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-bird Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I wonder if they will be going to box frame. Those Chevy and Ram flex comparison flics aren't good publicity IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 He thought I was talking about the F150 No. I'm talking about that spy photo, which appears to show exactly the same hood/fenders as the F150. Although, on checking the F150 vs. the F250, the overall cab length is comparable; and is in fact longer on the SuperCabs, which is an eye-opener, as I'd long understood the F150 cab to be significantly shorter than the SD.

I thought one of the bigger issues involving 150/SD cab commonality (considering internal dimensions are almost the same) was the firewall issue with respect to making a 6.7 fit.-not that total clearance in all underhood dimensions is not critical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've raised that point repeatedly in the past. However, it appears that I've been laboring under a mistaken understanding regarding more recent F150 cabs (2004+).

Grosey Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 This, along w/ the link and the pic I'm posting has confirmed my suspicions all along that the test mules that we've seen over the last few months, were in fact running w/ a decoy nose, a la the Mustang mules. I found this pic just yesterday and I've been looking and trying to figure out if it's been photo shopped. if so, it's one of the best I've ever seen. I found it on Facebook on the Ford-Trucks page. (link attached) https://www.facebook.com/fordtruckenthusiasts/posts/10152832690033401...scroll down and you'll see it. It looks like a leak for sure. It also confirms what I thought they'd do, in merging the half-ton / Super Duty's by sharing their respective cabs......and that's about it. You guys tell me, do you thik it's a fake? I do not. There are several consistencies between the new spy photos and this pic. I believe, this in fact, is the new Super Duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Rosadini Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Looks like a Chebby IMO I hope not-and worse yet, the side window does not look like it has a drop down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Here's the pic referenced. There will be a side window kickdown as they're using a lot of F150 parts: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10206163110380655&set=p.10206163110380655&type=1&theater I believe this is legit. And I will be very curious to see what Ford does about this. Robert, you may be getting a phone call....................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 FWIW, it does look like the fenders are different. The hood seems different too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 If that pic is legit, it confirms what I've been hearing. Shared cab on a different frame with unique front end and bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Looks like a Chebby IMO I hope not-and worse yet, the side window does not look like it has a drop down. You can see the drop under the mirror. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
