2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty Lineup Flexes Aluminum Muscles

When it comes to pickup trucks, the gestation period between new model announcements and the model actually going to market is quite a bit longer than it is for most cars. That's because automakers like Ford have to put in quite a few man hours to make sure the models live up to, and surpass expectations.

That's the case with the new aluminum bodied F-Series Super Duty lineup, set to go on sale next autumn (that's right, 2016). Nonetheless, we're getting our first look now. While the emphasis with pickups isn't on design, we have to say, this is one stylish beast. Beneath the skin, Ford is also promising us even more capability.

We have a bit of a wait before we hear about that, though. So check out this truck in action.

Are you ready to see what the current generation of new Ford pickups can do? Drop by our dealership in Clovis, NM and sign up for a test drive so you can see them flex their muscles.
