Like they did with the smaller F-150, the new aluminum bodies have helped cut down the weight of the Super Duty trucks. Ford took a slightly different approach with its Super Duty pickup trucks. While fuel savings are still important to Ford, the weight reduction was used to enhance the strength of the Super Duty model\u2019s frames and suspension underpinnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2017\/04\/20175720\/2017-Ford-Superduty-A5_o-1024x395.jpg\" alt=\"2017 Ford SuperDuty truck side view with doors open\" class=\"wp-image-11470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2017\/04\/20175720\/2017-Ford-Superduty-A5_o-1024x395.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2017\/04\/20175720\/2017-Ford-Superduty-A5_o-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2017\/04\/20175720\/2017-Ford-Superduty-A5_o-768x296.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2017\/04\/20175720\/2017-Ford-Superduty-A5_o.jpg 1038w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>While the frames of the Super Duty trucks aren\u2019t made of aluminum, they are constructed from high-strength steel and are up to 24 times stiffer than the previous frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile has-black-background-color has-background\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/clp-new-ford-f-series-super-duty\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2025\/10\/15162920\/2026_Ford_F250_KingRanch_A_O-1024x395.jpg\" alt=\"Super Duty truck on white background\" class=\"wp-image-13270 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2025\/10\/15162920\/2026_Ford_F250_KingRanch_A_O-1024x395.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2025\/10\/15162920\/2026_Ford_F250_KingRanch_A_O-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2025\/10\/15162920\/2026_Ford_F250_KingRanch_A_O-768x296.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2025\/10\/15162920\/2026_Ford_F250_KingRanch_A_O.jpg 1038w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/clp-new-ford-f-series-super-duty\">Learn more about the Ford Super Duty<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Why should you choose the Ford Super Duty?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The F-Series pickup delivers greater towing capacity, bigger payloads, and better acceleration. The high-strength frame and body, made from high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy, have increased strength and durability, resulting in a better overall truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>How much cargo can Ford trucks handle?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/blog\/category\/ford-f-150\"><strong> F-150<\/strong> <\/a>and Super Duty pickups can still support thousands of pounds of cargo. Despite a departure from the norm, the F-Series remains focused on providing the essential components of a pickup. With new materials used throughout the cabin, the F-150 and Super Duty are able to provide a better experience than pretty much every other truck on the road today, thanks to their revolutionary, high-strength body style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h3>Ford Super Duty towing capacity throughout the years<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you go, check out the towing limit of other Super Duty model years.
