The center part of the seat reminds me of camouflage. It's smooth but has a weird snakeskin look. I am not a fan, but it is different. That "new car smell" almost got me. That crap is addictive!

Dude, the 6.2L is the standard base engine. Some dealerships in my area have base models for right around $30k. I would love to have a regular cab short bed with the 6.2L.

My local Pilot sells DEF for $2.99/gal

I just read a comparison between the 2011 F250 and the Ram 2500. Here was what they had to say about fuel economy:

For fuel economy, both trucks did well on our loop, averaging within 0.2 mpg of one another, with the Super Duty (16.6 mpg) edging just ahead of the Ram HD (16.4). We're guessing much of that difference is likely explained by the fact that the Ram HD had a slightly shorter final-drive ratio with 3.73:1 gears compared with the Ford's 3.55s.

Read more: 2011 Ford F250 Super Duty vs 2010 Ram 2500 HD
And that's 16.6 MPG with the 3.55's. The 3.73's will get about 5% less MPG.

Looks like regular cabs are all 8' beds, but you can get a 6.75' bed on a supercab.

Although the 6.2L V8 gasser in the Super Duty and Raptor is the same - the tuning in different. The Raptor engine makes a little more horsepower and the computer programming is tweaked some. This is what was explained to me so....

385 hp / 405 ft/lbs torque ~ Super Duty
411 hp / 434 ft/lbs torque ~ Raptor

I watched a video of a 6.2L F350 on youtube, and those things really move.

That is a really nice looking truck but that price tag is pretty steep. Still can wait to test drive one though.
