2018 SuperDuty

Just curious. Has any one towed with the 2018 F250 and how does it compare to the steel body truck?

my guess and I stress guess is that there will be no noticeable difference the running gear has not changed.

beast

I traded my F150 eco boost for the F350 SW diesel it's a beast and the acceleration is scary. 15mpg around town!

Are the 2018's out?
My aluminum body Super Duty is a 2017.

I thought the 2018's weren't being manufactured until November?

BTW... mine tows like a dream.

I thought the aluminum body was first on the 2018. Sorry for the confusion.

Yep, that's right where I'm at too.
It is what it is, I'm still very happy with it vs. my old 6.0 F250.

The '17 SD are aluminum body. I went from a '15 250 to a '17 350 and they tow about the same. Obviously the 350 is better at handling the tongue weight. I had air bags on my 250 and don't need them on the 350. Other than small increases in hp and tq, the drivetrain is about the same and it works well. My big test will be the bigger 5th wheel toy hauler when it gets here.
