No hateraid for me. I'm full.

Nobody can touch a King Ranch truck. The back-up camera - nobody else has it in the mirror or without an expensive navigation system. The mirror is an ideal location because it allows the driver to view the display and the reflected scene simultaneously. Base XL SuperCrew work truck - if it's a first for Ford, I'm guessing most of the other guys don't have it. I know Toyota and Dodge doesn't have it in their MegaCab. They bump you up to the SLT if you want the larger cab. The heavy duty version in a 1/2 ton - Toyota does not have. Let alone a pressure monitoring system for it. Chevy has a cargo management system, but not with the innovative rails that are easier to work with, and a cooler. And so on. When I say the other guys are playing catch up, I don't mean catch up to these new features. I mean overall. The other guys have been playing catch up to what we started 4 years ago.

I know nothing will be good enough for some folks, but I think these are some nice new features for its last year of production.

 

all this info has been posted around the forum for a while now.

anyways, it's not catch up ford is playing right now, its keep up. They gotta add new things to keep a 4 Year old truck new, and right now, little touches are all they got until 2009.

 

Some of it has, but not all. It would be interesting to see how many contractors go for the larger XL SuperCrew.

 

TPS are mandated on all car/trucks I think for the 08 year or maybe its 09 but either way ford didnt jump ahead in safety it was required

 

but ford has it standard in all 2007 f150's from what I can tell... that is a jump on manditory regs...

 

I saw all that on the new Tundra the other day.

 

But the innovative back up camera in the F-150 will be featured in the rear view mirror. It doesn't require an expensive nav or extra monitor, and it is the perfect location so you can see everything simultaneously. Did you see a Tundra crew cab long bed? An XL work truck? A heavy duty? No.

 

I know you can get a base-model Titan (XE) in a crew cab.

 

Speaking of 08's..... does anyone know when they will start showing up at the dealers?
