Default 2017 Ford Super Duty
For those who are interested:

http://www.trucktrend.com/news/1509-...ty-first-look/

Fully boxed frame (24x stiffer than the old model)
First complete redesign since 1999
Power and torque upgrades for the 6.7 diesel (likely over 1000 lb-ft / 1355 Nm)
Increased payload and towing capabilities

I want one!

Too small for my needs, I’d be worried one day I may need to move an Aircraft Carrier and I’m not 100% sure if this would do the job.

Curious to see no Ecoboost option yet. I wonder if it would be too hard of a sell, or maybe an appropriate engine spec isn't ready yet?

There's an all-new 3.5 V6 EcoBoost in the pipeline for the 2017 F150. 450HP and a CGI block. I wonder if that will appear on the 2018 Super Duty?

This isn't official from Ford, but this article suggests the 6.7 diesel will be boosted to almost 500 HP and over 1,000 lb-ft. So in metric, almost 370 kW and over 1,355 Nm. Should be able to pull a jet ski with that.

I think there is an option for a spare Fiesta in the back for when you get a flat tyre.

a mate at work has one, takes up 4 parks actually!!! I don't know how an ecoboost would go in one with the tare weight and towing capacity youd still need a pretty big boosted donk to move it around

The 2.7 and 3.5 do really well in the F150. Even the 2.7 spins the back wheels on a full-throttle start. They would move the F250 and F350 around just fine, but likely not suited to pulling weight beyond what an F150 can handle, so probably no point.

Really close! Currently 328 kW / 1,165 Nm. Remember when we all thought 220Kw from an LS1 was really awesome?

Well the numbers are out on the 2017 diesel. It has 330 kW / 1,253 Nm at 1,800-2,000rpm.
Here is the F450 pulling over 13,600 kg. This is going up a 6% grade as fast as it can at 11,000 ft above sea level (which reduces power output). It is able to maintain at least 65km/h the whole way.
