Ford Super Duty Customer Embodies Built Ford Tough Spirit

To help guide the design and engineering of the all-new 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty, Ford connected with customers through a special “Insiders” program to focus on receiving honest feedback from owners who use Ford trucks every day for everything from ranching, to farming and industrial work.  

Nate Berges, a participant in the Insiders program, owns several Super Duty pickup trucks, in addition to a fleet of chassis cabs for his family’s awning company, of which he is the fourth-generation owner. “Ford trucks are the only trucks I will every buy,” said Berges. “Ford trucks get the job done – period.”

Yesterday, Berges had the rare opportunity to watch UAW-Ford employees build his new F-350 at Kentucky Truck Plant, where he was able to drive it off the end of the line. Today he told the employees, “It’s an experience I will never forget.”

Berges today joined Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of The Americas, Congressman John Yarmuth of Kentucky’s 3rd District, Greg Poet of the UAW National Ford Department and several hundred Ford employees at Kentucky Truck Plant to officially welcome the all-new 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty – now on sale now at Ford dealers across the U.S.

The all-new 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty is the toughest, smartest and most capable Super Duty pickup and chassis cab lineup ever. Super Duty is one of the many cars, trucks and utilities that UAW-Ford workers build in the U.S. In fact, Ford builds more vehicles and has more hourly employees in the U.S. than any other automaker.

Super Duty is part of F-Series, America’s best-selling truck for 39 years.
