Ford is offering drivers across the United States an opportunity to test drive the all-new 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty.

The test route allows truck consumers to experience the all-new Super Duty’s best-in-class capability and its 17 class-exclusive smart new features, including adaptive steering, adaptive cruise control, and Trailer Reverse Guidance. Product experts are along for the ride to explain the innovations and answer questions.

“The new Super Duty takes the heavy-duty truck segment to the next level,” said Doug Scott, Ford truck group marketing manager. “Truck customers can learn how it provides best-in-class towing and hauling, and they’ll get to experience Super Duty’s class-exclusive features from the best place possible – the driver’s seat.”

Participants can enter a sweepstake to win an all-new 2017 F-Series Super Duty. Details are available at tour locations.

The tour includes a variety of well-equipped F-250, F-350, and F-450 models in Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum trim levels. The trucks feature a mix of the 6.2L V-8 gasoline engine and 6.7L Power Stroke turbo diesel. The F-250 models are equipped with the all-new TorqShift-G transmission.

The tour features interactive displays to help the public understand how the all-new Super Duty is Built Ford Tough, starting with its high-strength steel frame construction and high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body and box panels.
