This video does a good job of breaking down the new features, and there's more info on the homepage. And while I think the diesel is cool, but do you care about things like adaptive cruise, or the tweaked front end?

Bang & Olufson stereo. I like a good stereo, but hate aftermarket appearance. I'd pay more for a happy medium, assuming that the B&O is demonstrably better than the Sony.

 

Hear you there. I hate the look of the aftermarket stuff too.

I was a big Sony guy for years, at least for home stuff. I had an amp that literally went through a fire — the volume **** was all melted — and it ran for years after no problems. And my little Soundrider boombox has been the first thing I turn on it when I wake up in the morning for 15 years. But I've heard the quality has fallen off in the last few years.

That said, I've always liked the sound of B&O stuff even if it was a little out of my price range.

 

Not a fan of direct injection... I know people with DI motors and they have had issues, some serious. But then again, they are GM's

 

Except there's not... that webpage shares virtually no info

 

DI is not new for '18. The ecoboost has had it since it was introduced for the 2011 model year. What is new and it's for '17 not '18 is the addition of port injection which will help keep the cylinders clean

 

Supposedly for 2018 the 2.7 will also get Port/Direct injection along with the 10 speed auto.

 

Me"

I have a 2015 Lariat. Loaded. (LED's, Adaptive cruise, etc.) Pretty much has everything. I've customized it so it's set up the way I want it. Don't need trailer back up as backing trailers/boats, whatever, just isn't something that I need or would even want. Special Ordered and was delivered in April of 15. The truck has been flawless and with the mods/customizations there just isn't anything the 18 has that has me wanting one.

On the 18 a couple of the new front grills look good, a couple not so good. Not much of a change with the front or rear lights that most would even notice. I would expect the new rears are just slightly easier to see.

Interior is virtually unchanged. Nothing new the 2017's don't have as far as tech.... At this point the 10 speed doesn't excite me. The improvement in performance and economy is negligible. Don't get me wrong, the 18 looks sweet and if my 15 wasn't set up and been so good I would probably be tempted.

I see holding out for the true update I would expect either 2020 or 21.

And for me I don't believe the diesel will be on the short list of motors.

2015 and up owners I can't see being nearly as tempted as the 2014 or earlier models.

 

If you tow heavy the 10 speed will keep you in the power band better than the old 6 speed. I am looking forward to mine

 

I feel like they made the 18s less "macho" with that front end, made it more "car-like" in my opinion
