Photographers recently caught a glimpse of the 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and while it was covered in traditional camouflage seen on pre-production test trucks, this camp actually announced the F-350�s debut at the Texas State Fair next month toward the end of September.

We first saw the new F-350 earlier this year, and we are expecting the the new Super Duty F-250 and F-350 to be updated with aluminum construction in the cab and bed much like the recent changes on the all-new 2015 F-150. There�s also been the long-rumored talk of a 10-speed automatic transmission, which is speculated to be equipped on a number of Ford trucks in the coming years. If it does make the new truck, it will add a decent improvement in efficiency compared to the outgoing vehicle.

While spy photos show a significantly more blocky appearance in keeping with the traditional Super Duty line, we do expect the new truck to have a little more rounded styling much like the new F-150 as well. We also expect the latest driver assistance features and infotainment, such as Sync 3 and Pro Trailer Backup Assist recently unveiled on the 2016 Limited F-150 will be offered on these 2017 trucks.

The primary engine is still expected to come from Ford�s 6.2-liter V8, but there�s no confirmation whether Ford will equip its EcoBoost technologies on the new trucks. We expect to see the new Ford Super Duties on sale sometime next year as a 2017 model.
