Pickup trucks are the most common type of vehicle on American roads. A light-duty half-ton truck can help anyone with a heavy load to haul, but some jobs call for a lot more than a light-duty truck, which is where Ford’s Super Duty pickup trucks make sense. A three-quarter-ton 2017 Ford F-250 can tow up to 21,000 pounds, or 32,500 pounds with a gooseneck rig, both of which are best-in-class capacities. Aluminum alloy body panels arrived for the F-150 in 2015, and they’ll show up on Ford’s Super Duty trucks this year. But the new Super Duties will also get a stronger frame and suspension, as well as options for a surround-view camera system, bed light, Sync 3, and a new grille.
The standard 6.2-liter V8 Flex Fuel engine should produce more than last year’s 385 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque, and it will use a new TorqShift-G shiftable 6-speed automatic with an active transmission warm-up system and better towing abilities. The available 6.7-liter turbodiesel V8 should improve on its 440 hp and 860 lb-ft as well as its towing capacity. As usual, Super Duty trucks will be available with rear- or part-time 4-wheel drive. New safety features include adaptive cruise control, forward collision-mitigation braking, a blind-spot monitor, and lane-departure warnings. Read more on CarGurus: cargur.us/dbq1P

Single Cab/Regular Cab, Long Bed pickups with 4x4 and select options are by far and away the best bang for buck, most capable, most durable yea that's right, you add a snow plow and the weight equals to that of the extended cab or crew cab counterparts making for a more understressed configuration. Also they're faster, yield better fuel economy and typically fare better where the pavement ends.
As for capability go ahead and check the maximum tow and payload ratings for any given 2500 and above pickup truck and you'll learn that those ratings were achieved using the regular cab long bed configuration with the numerically highest available axle ratio and most potent engines.
2017/2018 F-250 reg cab long bed 4x4 6.7 liter powerstroke XLT with FX4 package and all the utility, performance and offroad options is one hell of a vehicle, the only compromise is the glitzy wheels, body work, comfort, luxury and tech goodies you find in the higher trim levels which are the cash cows manufacturers want you to pay for while all the discerning buyers focus on capability and utility.
YES. Regular cab long bed with a 6.7! I love it.
A real truck
Just bought a 2017 F350, single cab, 4x4 with the 6.7. With 7000 original miles.The truck is big...I am moving up from a 2011 Silverado 1500. And it feel like the difference between an S-10 and and F150. The mirrors are wide, you sit up high, cars disappear below the front of your hood at red lights. For a single cab pickup, this truck should come with its own zip code. I love it. It has just enough creature comforts and it is still a MAN’S truck. My mileage is about 13, but that could be due to me running 35s on it. I’ve noticed my speedometer is off by 4mph so I’m sure that affects the overall fuel mileage. One minor complaint...the little convex side mirror need to be automatic also.. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to get out and manually adjust them. There is no leaning over the passenger seat to do, and I’m 6’3.
I bought a extended cab 4x4 F250 8’ bed V8 2017 XL. All I added was blue tooth, step rails, and cruise.
The price was reasonable without all the other add ones and packages. Did business with the internet commercial salesman. No BS quickest vehicle non stress purchase I ever made. My 8th Ford truck and its awesome!! My first was a 1968 F250 camper special 390 engine 2 wheel drive. Ford and me have come along way.
I purchased this 2017 Super Duty in the crew cab, Platinum, Diesel...Fully loaded. Love this truck Ford has out done themselves again. Thank you Ford!
the chevy step up is not really useful. the ford solution offers easier safer access when carrying stuff especially.
BUILT DIESEL MAFIA I call bullshit on that. The step up is VERY useful on the Chevy
That's not entirely true. The GM bumper step is absolutely useful. My cousin has it on his Chevy, and my brother has it on his Sierra. It balances practicality and usefulness while competing with Ford's tailgate step. The GM step doesn't require any buttons to push, steps to deploy, or levers to lift. Simply step on it. Nevertheless, my Uncle and several friends have the F150's tailgate assist aka 'Man Step.' It DOES lower your step more, making it easier for the vertically challenged (5 footer) individual. However the tailgate must be open to use the step. GM's step is so useful and the simplicity of it has been so well received, they enlarged and pronounced the usefulness of it on the upcoming 2019 truck. Built Diesel Mafia you can carry stuff and use GM's step. It requires no hands to engage and you can use the stake holes or tailgate to hold if necessary. On Ford's step, whatever you're carrying must be placed down to deploy the step unless you deployed the step before placing said items in hand. Ford and GM did well with both. Ram and Toyota need to catch up. Amp Research's driver side only pull down bumper step doesn't quite cut the mustard.
I'm not 6'3" and on the 4X4 Chevy I can't reach it with out a milk crate. Makes it useless.
Are Chevy tailgates that hard to put down. I'm 63 yo and not in the circus. I put the gate down on every truck I work out of because it's easier and I don't need to impress the ladies.
I was going to subscribe until you said that backing a trailer up was hard
Great review! I've been thinking about getting a 2018 F350 Super Duty XLT Regular cab FX4 and now I definitely want one even more after seeing this review even though the one in this review was a F250. The one I spec'd on Ford's website was white, I got pretty much every option available, the gray interior and an 8 foot bed I thought about the short bed but I have driven a 21 year old version of that truck and I absolutely love it.
bad ass truck! been a blue oval fan since I can remember!
Neil MacCallum Same! Ever since my dad brought home a 1999 F350 back in '06.
Get a Ford guy to review a ford truck next time
Why did your feelings get hurt?
I bought XL with gas motor extra cab for 34,000 it pulls fine who needs all extra bull stuff anyway it's a truck learn how to drive and back up
lol. The working man will never be able to afford one.
I like that he didn't review the top level trim model that only Duck Dynasty can afford. He also had info on a wide range of options, not just the primo bells and whistles. So many other truck review channels fall into this trap.
Need real truck guys to review trucks. The kind of person that knows this is still a light duty pickup.
BEAUTIFUL REGULAR CAB!
The mini fridge is a great idea. Expecially used as a work truck
trucks are getting too fancy
Hey 6'3" the Chevy bumper step is useless to ME. I can't get my leg up high enough to stick my shoe in the groove. On the Ford though the step thing hangs lower than the bumper and I can use it. The yellow handle helps a lot.
in 1976 I'd bought a F250 4 speed with a 360 v8 2 barrel for 6300$. it's still parked out by one of the hey barns. The rust worms have ate it all. It was an awesome work truck
Ford is the best
I bought a used 2017 250 crew cab platinum diesel w 18 K miles for 18K off MSRP. Boy am I happy with it!
That's the same mpg I'm getting in my 18 ram 2500 4x4 megacab with a level & 35" mud terrain tires
The one thing that makes ford's bed step better it that it can be utilized with the tailgate down.
Perfect spec for a Super Duty, down to the color and everything.
can't wait to get same truck in F350 but blue jean blue and added sliding back window counting down !!
The new 5.0 will getting closer to the 6.2. Heard they also might let the 150 get the same receiver so some tow numbers could go up. Gets that little bump on hp and toque. So it will be good to compare with 250 w/ 6.2.
NonRev and unless your working your truck everyday the F150 starts to look like a better overall option
Regular cab HD truck love!
Ford it's the only true truck
Kyle Gorham they are junk
EM 34 Not really.....they won't rust out like Dodge and Chevy.
Eli Merritt then....why are you here?
I'm 5/8 and had to litterly climb in it was hard to get into but a very good truck
great video. I like the truck very much. towing trailers can be a challenge I agree.
Hands down I would take the Ford.
Regular cab is perfect for me
$53,000 for a single cab truck? You've got to be kidding me.
Diesel and loaded with tech features
Spaghetti Monster diesel, loaded with options, the off road package, that is why it is expensive. An XLT fully loaded, with the deisel, crew cab, and 4x4 is only six Grand more
what you spend on the diesel motor you save in fuel. This is not just a commuter car. these often are a money maker for people. mine makes $60 per delivery and we do 10 deliveries a day in the summer. $600/day 6 days a week for 6 months covers $53,000 pretty quick. And in the winter it plows snow for 120/hr and spreads salt for $300/load times 12-15 day. And if you wait a year and get the last years model with base trim you can get these trucks for about $35000 in white. Brand new with warranty and you can usually talk them into a few extras like mudflaps, command start, box liner so they can dump the unit.
Spaghetti Monster The diesel option adds $5-6000.00 to the price.
TexasScout Noneofyourbusiness wrong! more like 8 thousand to the price
I'm 5'6 and have no problem getting in the cab without running boards
Ford is the best done beat around the bush
Can you do reviews on the Ram 2500 series with a diesel ? Great job always well done.
Ford F 250 gets my vote
How do people afford a full size crew truck. The last 350 diesel a I looked at was 71000$
my dad's 98 dodge ram 24 valve Cummins gets 15 pulling our old trailer that 15,000 loaded
love that truck willbe looking for one. thank yoy and ford.
What a gorgeous truck!
Excelente ,una camioneta maravillosa
Ford trucks for years I've never been a glamour truck compared to GM trucks
lmao.. really?? GMC Denali ... prettiest truck at 80k
Just curious how was the leg room in the regular cab for a person over 6 feet?
Hope you do a review on the new 2018 F150 Lariat . Nice Job.
i do love the way this truck looks, plus ive had 4 ford turcks because i like th brand but t his truck is pretty expensive. ill probably cbeck out the gm or ram outfits..either way they r all pretty bad ass haha
This is the 2017/18 F250 to buy people. It has all you need if you don't have a need to transport multiple passengers.
what rear end gears are in the truck you tested that got 15.9 mpg
Love it much better value than gm or dodge. Look at the sticker prices.
i have a single cab long bed 2002 F-250.. its great!
Death Wobble fixed yet????????????????
When is the last time anyone has seen a gasoline crew cab dually?
Awesome 😀 😀 2017 Ford super duty F-250 review .
Ford is the only truck ill buy.
awesom truck my favorite one
Ale kolos. Tylko w Ameryce da się czymś takim jeździć. Piękna i potężna maszyna.
Love that truck awesom
Is this F-250 review funded by Chevy?
Nice.
For a normal truck I say dodge, but for super duty I say ford.
Note the price is 10 thousand less with the gas engine.
Can’t beat a Silverado duramax
actually you can...solid front axle blows that GM front end away...
I really need one, dont care if its regular cab
try walking into and out of the box carrying something with that chevy step and you will see ford did it correctly.
over 50k for a single cab? LMAOOOOOOOOO
MrMcFuckYou this nonsense needs to stop we all going broke over trucks lol
The PowerStroke is literally a $10k option, so $40k with the 6.2 Boss V8 lol
Isso que é picape
This guy needs to be objective, all I hear is Chevy this Chevy this
I like it
Truck with enough torque to tear up Space Time LMFAO :)
Do a burnout, drive though some mud, something.......nothing in this review makes me want to buy this truck.
I think it was intentional. I seriously think that Chevy was behind this weak review.
ADDICTED.MOTORs US that's because you're a dumb kid and don't really understand the purpose of trucks
since you drive a POS early 90s suburban you probably can't afford it anyways luckily.
that flip down front seat center console lid is maddening! my dad has a '16 f-150 with the split bench in front and the middle section is always in the folded position for driver arm rest. annoying as hell that the center section console lid is VERY awkward to open and reach inside with your right hand while in driver's seat....you gotta kinda lean to the left to get access your chewing gum! what the hell?! (no, i am not a "person of size"....not that there's anything wrong with that.)
as a whole, the interior materials, except seat upholstery, on ALL F-series trucks feel cheap....waaaaaay too much hard plastic for the price. furthermore, the clunky, tonka-truck wanna-be styling inside is friggin' dumb.
buy a RAM....inside and out the styling and functionality are nearly as timeless as a mercedes-benz. wonder where that influence came from.....
Buy a Ram? We did. 2016 2500 MegaCab Limited 6.4 Hemi. You're right about the interior in the Ram. It's great. I love the UConnect. However, the transmission failed at 43K miles. The dealer had to change the valve body. The rear end clunks and I have lost confidence in this truck. I'm dumping it before the 60k power train warranty goes. Hence the reason I'm reviewing regular cab Fords and crew max Tundra.
bestpilot98 Except Dodge is the worst when it comes to rust.lol
It will pay for itself lol
I have a 17. F250 quad cab. I noticed on some videos that the F250 does not have overload spring on top of the actual we Springs themselves mine actually has it. is that a snow plow prep package or do I have a heavy 3/4 ton I cannot seem to find any information on it thanks for your time
That's called the "Camper Package"...also includes a rear sway bar for a slide in camper...I've got a '16 setup that way...
come on ford, so much money for this truck and its dead last in the interior material department, so much plastic compared to the GMC / RAM competitors. shame.
He's driving a basic model pretty much. relax these trucks are easily as nice as any ram or GM product inside.
That's not a base model, it's an XLT. Drove one this weekend, and he's right..the interior is sub-par compared to the others with the same trim level.
sure have and IMO much nicer than the Ford. Unfortunately for the RAM, the rest of the truck is subpar.
u mean good job ford. Most powerful engine, stiffest body. Only truck using military grade aluminum and not heavy ass steel. Weights cut down huge compared to others in its class. Looks way better than other brands. I love my lifted 17 f250
You should check out the dozens of cases on c&d where aluminum bodied F-150s are being gouged open at car washes and other basic automotive cleaning shop that's the issue with aluminum also for some reason their Interiors have suffered really badly too SMH
power strokes
Did he borrow that vest from his little brother. He couldn't zip that vest with a ratchet strap.
ram gmc chevy toyota nissian suuck ford aweaom trucksssssssssssssss. thats that. thx.
for what is Aux 1,2,3,.....???
to connect your smart phones... and tablets.. its 2017 man.
Doooooouuuuucccchhheee bag!
You Jealous asshole...lmao.
The prices are ridiculous......................... Talk about gouging the customer.
They was cheap back in 2017
Ford.® Super•Duty Is Built Tough. Meaning The Interior Is Not Suppose To Be Pretty Looking Or Comfortable, It'a Work Truck. The Entire Truck Should Be Rough In And Out. Buy Toyota, Chevy, Or GMC If You're Looking For Comfort, Ladies.
Ford seat are absolutely HORRIBLE. Just look at 2:47, the seat barely supports your legs, its like you sitting on a milk crate. My Explorer is the same way. Its made for short people. Talk about back pain. Its too bad because I like the F250.
Very bias
There is no way in hell id pay 50k for a pickup truck..
Idiot..
@@Anth230 Love you too bro 👌
True I wouldn’t want a base model I’d spend 98k and get a 2024 platinum instead.
is that a rental LOL
waooooooo
I wouldn't prefer this truck at all!! not for $53,000 they must be smoking.
Your a Chevy man and should not be allowed to give a non bias review of another truck. Even with all the great new things about a ford, you still could could not give a non bias review. This is a joke.
2 door? ugly, love the 4 door
This guys pretty clueless
All of these reviews make me never want to get rid of my 02' F350 with its 7.3l. The only nice thing I find is the power and towing capacity. Everything else takes away from it being a truck. There's just to much going on inside the cab. The amount of time these these things will be at a dealership getting fixed because of all of the extra goodies they have just turns me away. And there's no way you will be able to work on them yourselves. To top it off, there just so frigging ugly! I know it was pretty hard to top the best looking body style(99-16) that ford has ever put out. Too bad they just can't make a normal truck. The work versions come close, but still too much complexity. And 15.9 mpg, I get that on the low end with my 15 year old truck. Sorry FORD, you should have never put the 7.3l in your trucks!
Looks horrible
This is one of the ugliest trucks on the road. I laugh when I see them on the road.... It's a lunch box. Btw, I don't drive a chevy or own one and not brand loyal. Just calling it as I see it.
So you are an armchair idiot...Ford has the nicest looking regular cabs hands down.....fricking idiot...🙄🙄🙄
it could pay for itself over its lifetime? ? it's a powerstroke. It won't last more than 5 years 😂
Viren vs It would without all the emissions stuff
You was wrong cause we got 7 year old 2017s in our fleet over 200k miles zero major issues
kinda looks like a silverado:/
Ford is the best
