Check out the enclosed video to see a never-before-attempted stunt that proves the Super Duty is truly Built Ford Tough! No other auto manufacturer has done this sort of wild test to see just how well a truck frame can perform when under immense stress. To conduct the test, Ford enlisted the help of John Brenkus, host and creator of the hit ESPN show “Sport Science.”
So what was the stunt?
Eight pickup trucks were stacked on top of each other and then placed directly on to the new 2017 Super Duty. The frame had to hold 60,000 pounds and in the end no bends or cracks in the frame were detected which is remarkable! The test truly highlights the improved rigidity of the new frame, which is just one great feature that’s been incorporated with the truck’s complete redesign. The new frame is roughly 24 times firmer than the prior frame and it’s composed of more than 95 percent high-strength steel.
