2017 Super Duty sneak peek

The official announcement date is tomorrow, however, a media person for Ford "accidentally" made a YouTube video public today. In the 30 seconds that it was open to the public, a few screenshots were taken.
Follow this LINK at 10:45AM tomorrow for full announcement.
All we know so far, its going to have a fully boxed frame and it will come in black. All other info (1000TQ, LED headlights, runs on GM's recalls, etc.) is speculation at this point.
Personally, mixed feels. Not great, but better than what the 2011 model looked like when first introduced. Will have to fully grow on me for full appreciation. Biggest complaint on other forums is that the body looks like a Dodge. The body is actually a F150 body, so I don't get the complaint. Notice that the door handles are completely different and the window dip, that defines greatness, is still present.

Meh
Do not want aluminum body panels on a work truck. Going to be epic the first time you drop the tongue of a gooseneck in the bed because you forgot to latch it, or drive it through a briar patch. Scratches and dents for all!
Why are we releasing a "2017" year model truck in 2015?

Will not be purchasing as I plan to run my 2012 for a long time but I do like it. Looks like the one pictured is the Platinum edition, brushed grill with the holes in it, fold out running boards. Interested to see what the interiors look like and any powertrain changes/upgrades.

Grill looks like a grill... Like a grill...

I saw this and the 2016 Silverado today. I'm not a huge fan of the front end of either the Super Duty or the Silverado, but the rest of them look good IMO. Trucks seem to be getting more outlandish and strange in their styling and it shows in their grill and front end designs more than anywhere else.
Some random thoughts:
-I see no advantage over aluminum that justify paying extra for it. I'm not against it, but I won't pay extra for it.
-I think HD trucks need a smaller, less powerful, more efficient 4.5-5.0 Liter diesels that are more appropriately matched for probably 90% of their customers than the massive new Powerstroke, Duramax, and Cummins engines currently offered.
-I don't trust Ford diesels, but I hear they may have finally produced acceptable product in the 6.7L. I like that they are offering decent gas V8 and V10 motors as an alternative for those of us who won't touch a Powerstroke
- The mid and lower end trim levels of the Super Duty has a nicer looking grill than the higher end models.
