Review Embargo until January 2020. .... So much for available Fall 2019.

As for the truck, it looks great and should give Power Wagon a run for its money.

Media and journalists arent allowed to post reviews about how the truck drives, independent testing results, real world MPG tests etc. Essentially, Ford is giving testers 2.5 MONTHS to perform reviews before they can ALL launch their articles and videos.

Lasco Ford on youtube has a Red SCSB with the 7.3L in it. So either its a pre production media truck that they got their hands on or its a stock demo. So not sure if Ford is now at Job 1 producing the 2020s or they have not gotten to Job 1 and these are all pre-production media testers.

That sucks. Wonder why the wait. Would think they want those reviews out now or soon to get people to order them

Starting in 2017, these trucks are so full of win.

I don't know if it is possible to buy one and not love it.

Do you have a 2017+? What are your impressions between it and the old generation?

1. The ride is so much smoother than my 2004
2. The cabin space is larger, mostly in the back seat area
3. The POWA!!! This truck stock has plenty on tap
4. Motorized mirrors (in and out, and folding)

28,000 miles and not a hiccup.

What Great Asp said. I loved my 2006 - I love this one even more. Comfortable, handles well, quiet, more room and the in bed led lights! Best feature by far!! Amazing how the little stuff becomes important.

What I think is crazy is the 2020 Super Duty isn't on Ford.com or in my parts catalog yet. I have sales people already asking for accessories for trucks we haven't received.

Its ridiculous if you ask me. The truck looks VERY good, and will no doubt be as tough and reliable as ever. It looks about as done as done can be. Ford corporate on the other hand needs to get their shit together. They STILL have not released pricing and thus no 2020 website or the build your own option. Its foolish. I know Ive been quite vocal about Ford corporate lately, but they have done nothing to prove me wrong.

Ive been very impressed with the 17-19 so far from all the research and reviews Ive watched. I intend to drive this next truck till the wheels fall off, and I do intend to pull trailers, campers and my GT500 with it. Even if its a leftover 19 or I can get in on a 2020, Im looking forward to this truck.

We have 2015 (might be model year 2016 trucks that we bought in 2015) for work that replaced 2005 and 2006 super duty diesels. I don't know what changes were made to the 2017+, but the 2015/2016 is an absolute different truck than the models from 10+ years ago. I hated to drive the old trucks, but the new ones are quite pleasant to drive. You really forget they weigh 7k+ lbs and also forget you have a 10k+ trailer behind you when towing.
