Nope, it's not in a truck. So never be strong enough to put back on topic.

That's the point. It's just too much engine to make that much difference in a half-ton truck.

Personally, I would love to see the 4.4L in an F250. That would be the perfect combination to tow my 8000lb (empty) fifth wheel. It should tow it well enough and get better fuel economy than the 6.7L (MUCH better than my 6.4L!).

I have always preferred the look of the Harley edition front bumpers, purely for the fact that they eliminated the dual plastic horns and filled the hole with a single unit. It's too bad the bumper face bar is different, or I would have changed up years ago.

How's that for on topic?

^ agree, the best looking front yet. I really don't care for my two black pieces on the front bumper. Plus they stick out whick makes it even worse.

I wonder if you can just buy those inserts and get rid of those black pads. As the front of that HD looks like its 3 pieces.

Same here, the Harley front bumpers look awesome. The other trim levels look like a buck-toothed whale from the front in factory form IMO.

Its one piece. I almost bought one off ebay to cut it up and make it fit but decided it'd be easier to make from scratch.

Nope, it's a whole different bumper.
