Some cool features too, like the tailgate with a slide out step, power telescoping mirrors and the slick bed extender that folds out of the way. I hope these features make it to the new F-150 when it debuts next year.

I'd echo this sentiment honestly. I love the profile of the new SD but, the front end just hasn't struck me as 'good looking'.
I'm sure the truck will be a huge success though.
Remember, it wasn't but a few years ago that a lot of us (me included) were talking about how we didn't like the new body style F-150. *shrugs* I now own one.

I have driven an 08 Super Duty, I had it for three days over the Christmas weekend. There is not a better or more powerful truck on the market. Despite what all you naysayers are saying, this truck will kick a lot of trash on the street. GM and Dodge beware.

White southbound 08 SD on I-71 this morning... I believe that this one was very close to an XL (reg cab, short bed, no bells nor whistles from the looks of it).
Excuse the camera quality (cam phone... low light... rain) ... just a prime example of how many are running around here.

I have yet to see one in person. I asked at the dealership when I was there getting my oil changed last week. The salesman had to go and ask his manager about 08's. They told me that they don't know when they are going to have one, not just at this lot, but any of the 3 Ford dealership that they own. Although my dad and mom were just looking at one yesterday at a dealership in Houston TX. He said that they actually look alot better in person. Now that my old man looked at one, I just wonder how long before he actually gets one. With the problems that he has had with the 6.0L in his 05 F350 DRW FX4 it really wouldn't surprize me if an 08 F350 ends up pulling their 5th wheel back home and the 05 stays down in Texas.

Now I really like my 06 much better.
That thing looks like an old lady with bags under her eyes, in need of some plastic surgery.
