2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty Diesel 4x4 Crew Cab - We all know that person who makes a resolution each new year. The one who promises to better himself and become stronger, smarter, and more capable. The Ford F-250 promises much as it enters the 2017 model year.
Dearborn’s heavy-duty hauler is all-new from the ground up, and it’s as if it were hellbent on self-improvement.
Even if you live in a cave, off the grid, or within 100 miles of our editor-at-large John Phillips’s Montana desk, you’ve heard that Ford’s heavy-duty truck line now has a body constructed of aluminum, just like the F-150.
That allows Ford to trim some fat and replace it with muscle. The F-250 now has a heavier, fully boxed steel frame, an upgraded rear axle, and fortified four-wheel-drive components. It has been some time since we’ve done a full test on the F-250, so drawing an exact weight comparison is difficult.
The 2017 F-250 Platinum 4x4 crew cab tested here tipped the scales at 8300 pounds, a noteworthy 350 pounds more than the steel-bodied 2012 F-250 King Ranch’s 7950 that we recorded. But five years is a long time between trips to the scales, and the previous generation was updated in 2015, which is not accounted for in this comparison.
Regardless, the additional structural rigidity the truck gains from the chassis is immediately apparent. The heavy-duty suspension paired with the unique dampers in the optional FX4 Off-Road package, however, returns a rather firm and jumpy ride for daily use.
We were unable to load the bed to its advertised 3450-pound payload capacity, but this sturdy machine is built for hauling loads far afield, and unladen ride quality clearly wasn’t anyone’s priority.
