When it comes to heavy duty machines, Ford remains a mainstay in the field. The Detroit-based automaker is bringing out yet another extraordinary muscle on the road. Such approach further solidifies the company's reputation in manufacturing powerhouse off-roaders.

This year, the 2017 Ford Super Duty is in the lead to take the top honors for being the most reliable pickup truck out there. What makes the unit exceptional is its capacity to thrive smoothly while under pressure. The vehicle is able to instill a sense of balance by imposing an outstanding design while efficiently maneuvering its tasks.

As Emission Analytics gets drawn into a duel of powerful pickups, an MPG test run soon ensues. Against the 400-pound heavier Ram 2500 truck of Chrysler, the gas-propelled F-250 engine of the Super Duty has turned into a high-performing underdog. The same result has surfaced when the F-350 dual- rear wheel diesel tangles up against the Ram 3500 unit.

Engineering prowess has a lot to do with the emergence of the 2017 Ford Super Duty. The truck's 32,500-pound towing strength is thing to marvel about. More than that, the unit is also leading its ranks with its 7,630-pound payload capability. With these figures being tossed around, it is highly likely that Ford's forthcoming tussle will be against the Chevrolet Silverado HD of General Motors.

The Super Duty remains on top of the game with its imposing 925 pound-feet of torque. During one instance, the 40,000-pound loaded F-350 gets driven by a freeway kind of speed. With 14-inch front and rear rotors, a well-calibrated Tow/Haul procedure plus a strong exhaust brake in tow, the pickup institutes a confidence usually never seen in trucks.

The top-performing 2017 Ford Super Duty is not only about efficient engineering mechanisms. The company has also installed significant assistance components to keep drivers comfortable and focused. A tire pressure monitoring system has been installed. A 360-degree camera is also made available for full-time activity coverage. Riders will also be appreciative due to the presence of a couple of 110V power outlets which will be used for charging purposes.
