Finally the Heavy Duty F-150 is getting some nice looking wheels from Ford.

Yes and they are 18's so I can throw on some 10 ply Toyos and be good to go!

 

hmm, the order guide has no mention of 18's for the Heavy Duty package, just 17's. Maybe they won't be available until Job 2 or even the 2010 model?

 

Probably 2010, as the SuperCrew with the heavy duty package is not available yet either. As this picture shows, it will be!!

That will be perfect for towing my camper...SuperCrew, 6.5' bed, HD package, 4.4L diesel!!

On edit: Oh yeah, almost forget the big-a$$ dumbo mirrors as well!!

 

^oh yeah, I totally forgot about it being a Supercrew version in that pic...

 

Looks like ford is seeing a down turn in there F250 sales, and is working on a more feasable choice for a lot of there previose F250 customers. I know I seldome use my 06 King Ranch F250 diesel to it real potential. This would make an ideal replacement for me. A 20+ mpg king ranch diesel heavy half ton. Ford now will only have to prove to me they have a handle on building a reliable diesel again, and I will likely buy one of these. Looks good with the new rims.

 

They are seeing sales to workers are up and sales to appearance buyers are down. Back in 2003, appearance buyers made up 25% of sales, now they make up 6%. The crew cabs with the new 7 lugs are going to be sweet for hauling and towing.
