Ford introduces new 2017 Super Duty during media drive event in Denver, CO.

The industrial skyline of Denver, CO, served as a backdrop to Ford’s All-New 2017 Super Duty event here this week. Ford engineers and technology experts gave representatives from the media a crash course on the new truck series and its 17 class-exclusive features, including chassis and powertrain upgrades and hauling and towing capabilities.

In addition, adaptive cruise control, adaptive steering, and Blind Spot Information System with trailer coverage are three of the new class-exclusive features available to heavy-duty pickup truck drivers for the first time on Super Duty.
