Ford's 2017 Super Duty trucks redefine tough tech

For decades, the full-size truck market was a virtual blast from the past, utilizing technologies pioneered in the early 20th century. The steel-bodied leviathans were designed to get the job done — and little else. Heck, heavy-duty trucks didn't even offer air bags a few years ago, let alone color touchscreens.

The 2017 Ford Super Duty line of full-size trucks changes all of that. With military-grade aluminum bodies, four exterior high-def digital cameras, and dozens of LED exterior lights, they're about as modern as anything on the road today.
