Well, here ya go! No actual specs on the engines but they will have a 6.2v8, 6.8v10,ans the 6.7 diesel.
2017 Super Duty Revealed
Looks pretty nice, but I am very happy with mine and I shudder to think what the MSRP will be on the 17s and not many incentives I am guessing. What are the thoughts about the aluminum body? At bit of a shocker to see the V10 return...

Maybe the V10 offers more tricks with cylinder deactivation?

Maybe, but does Ford offer that on any of their current engines? Possibly new for 2017? Would have been nice in my F150...

The V10 only left the F250/F350; it remains available for the F450 and F550 to this day.

I don't believe Ford has any cylinder deactivation on any of their engines.
They've put all their money and resources into boosted engines in order to meet the fuel economy mandates.
And from what I've learned about cylinder deactivation is it even possible to do with dohc engines. All the domestics that have cylinder de-activation are all cam in block pushrods engines.
Didn't Honda have a sixxer that shut cylinders down? Was it a dohc/dohc or cam in block?
The v-10 is a great work horse and cheaper to fix than a diesel however with trucks that big I doubt there are any incentives on them and considering fx got his diesel for the price of a gasser it's tough to say no to that kind of deal

That's what I'm asking. I know they had a sixxer with cylinder deactivation in the cars. The vans with the same engine didn't come with that option
Iirc that was also a sludger. The rear bank didn't get hot enough and sludge issues presented themselves.
If it can be done with a sohc it must be possible to do with dohc as well?

It's also used in the F650, the E350 and 450 cutaways, and the F53 (motorhome) and F59 (commercial) stripped-chassis.

Heavy duty trucks are exempt from CAFE, so there's no reason for an ecoboost in one.
Are you sure??

From what I understand HD trucks are now have their own requirements.
Are you sure you are not thinking about the MPG numbers on the window sticker?

A boosted v-10. Now that would be something. Forget the trucks. Put something like that in a Lincoln and you've got a supercar
I thought the 6.7 had quad camshafts in the block? Anyway, I like the V10, especially in the super duty trucks. The engine in those actually sits further forward, and use a lower profile intake manifold. This makes them much easier to work on than the Triton V8's used in the '97-'04 trucks, with that terrible tall intake.

As near as I can tell, it is OHV with a single camshaft. Have a look at this:

No reason? Are you kidding? Diesel like power (flat torque curve, great HP) without the headaches (DPF, emissions, high oil change expense and maintenance, etc).
The Ecoboost would be a great fit in those areas - Ford is already putting them in the new Transit vans so it just seemed to make sense for the Super Duty next.
I imagine if they did offer, say a 4.0 Ecoboost their Diesel take rate would drop to near 0 though. Fleets that have already returned to gas would buy them up, the casual user would, etc.

I'm now in your club. Just picked up a 2015 F250 PSD crew cab FX4, Silver 6.75' bed, with 3.31 gears. Amazingly quiet and smooth. Will take time to get used to all the gadgetry.

Congratulations! The gadgets are very nice, only missing an oil pressure gauge, but I see it returns in the 2017 model.
