hey, so those arent what the stock tires are gonna look like, I am loving the trucks but those rims and tires look very dead and tired,
Arent those trucks just test vehicles for car and driver and stuff,
So those probably arent the stock options, I sure hope not, cause I have seen pictures of the fx4s and they had sweet stock rims on them
What do you guys think

 

What's with the new wheel pattern?!!!
No more 5 bolt ford rims...shame.

Nice Pictures! I have question about the interior.
From pictures of the interior it looks cheap. How is the quality and I'm curious about that rail system on ceiling. Will it be an exposed rail if you don't order the modular components?

 

This interior is not cheap. It will be a significant step up from all other trucks on the road. And I think you get the rail system. Unless you order a moonroof...

 

I wouldn't say it is better than any interior of any truck on the road. I currently have a GMC C3 (will be getting a 2004 Screw) and the interior looks like it is getting close, but still can't compare. I would say it is the second best interior and the best under $40k.

 

Have you been inside an '04? If you have and still think the GM is better... well thats you opinion, fair enough. If you haven't yet, then wait and see. You may be surprised.

 

Point taken.

I didn't get a Screw in the first place because I thought the interior was inferior. I actually think the pictures of the new interior look great and I do hope it is better.

btw - does it have mirrors that automatically fold in? THey started putting that on the 02 version of my truck and I always thought that was a great feature. I get tired of pulling one of my mirrors in to get in the garage.

 

Thats interesting, I have never heard about any features like automatic folding mirrors. One more plus for the lazy people. Not that im saying your lazy or anything.

 

It is nice to not have to roll down your windows to pull the mirror in when it is raining. Besides, if I could get both mirrors in, it would make getting in the garage much easier.

 

Here is an article mentioning all of these F-150's in S. Texas. Nothing too notable except that some analyst believes that there will be some incentives.

Having actually been fortunate enough to sit inside the new F-150 at the Chicago Auto Show back in February, I can tell you that the interior is, in fact, a significant improvement over any other truck out there. For once, Ford is using high-quality plastics and kickass designs that are vibrant, full of color and, in my opinion, beautifully-executed; on the other hand, Chevy/GMC trucks are notorious for their cheap, poorly-molded plastic interiors. In fact, in their comparison of the Hemi Ram, the Silverado SS, and the Harley-edition F-150, Truck Trend magazine griped about the Silverado SS's interior. They couldn't believe at how "cheap" it was for a $40,000 truck. "Negatives include the center-stack cubby insert that kept falling out, headliner glue wept above the driver's head, and the driver's seat rocked..." (Truck Trend, pg. 28, July/August 2003). And, while I certainly love the interior of my '03 Ram Heavy Duty, it can't compare to the new F-150's, unfortunately.

 

You say you got to sit in one. If it happened to be a supercab, did you get to sit in the back? If you did, how was the leg space? Thanks

 

Hey, fordabbits, it was a four-door Lariat SuperCrew. Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming amount of people wanting to sit in this truck, I was only able to sit in the driver's seat for a brief - yet heavenly - amount of time.

 

Well, thanks anyway. I actually found some specs on another thread and I was able to compare the 04 with the Silverado. An inch less of leg room on the 04. It gives me an idea anyways.

 

I have the same request....I'd like to see more XLT Scab pics. I'm curious how the 8' bed will look with that truck.
