Oh, ok, thanks for nothing.

I've seen it in person, and it is similar, but also have definite changes that make it look much bolder than the previous trucks.
How enlightening of you.

FWIW, I will be heading to San Antonio on Monday morning for Ford's first media "Ride and Drive" event on the new Super Duty. Expect some pics to follow...

(that's if I am able to pull myself away from Kerrville, TX where the event start...I really want to buy a Mooney, which are built there...)

It'll be nice to have Ford down here in ToyotaTown.
Have fun.
You should be able to get some good pics in the Tx Hill Country.

I hear the new diesel engines are supposed to be much better than the current ones. Fill us in boss.

As for the bird, I won't fly because of the horror stories I've heard, even though I build fighters.

It has "two-stage turbochargers" and makes only 350 hp and only 650 lb ft of torque? I thought it was a little dissapointing. I was expecting something closer to 700.

Anyone know what the base prices are for the 350 or 450? Or just an average price for one nicely equiped?

I've seen no less that 50 of them running around here... seems like half of them are King Ranch 250's in an array of stock colors. Mind you, they build the Super Duty less than 15 miles from where I'm sitting at this very moment.

...and when are the moderators going to get to attend these events? I always get the feeling that an administrative 'pass over' occurs when they get to 'Rockpick' on the 'should we invite them?' list.

anything is better than a 6.0 psd (pos).

not big on the headlights, or the 'ribbed' dash and steering wheel(looks like a bedliner)....but bringing alot of the new f150 features over is a huge plus and i seen it coming...was just a matter of time.
