I think the only one duped here was you dude; most around here are not 16 years old and realize that new model years are not released in early Feb. The old "I'm at a car show and can't resist jumping aboard and hamming it up" shots are pretty self-evident.

Just another opportunity for most of us to talk about the '08 and the new chaparall and for you to prove how crafty and wiley you are...

 

I was told at the dealership the other day that they would be out in July,is this true.

 

i have no clue bout the king ranches , but
you can buy the 2008 f 250 superduty right now .
they have them at the dealer by my house.!!!!!
i have pics with the sticker.

i was told there here nw because they have a different body style, wich made them available now. that was by ford

first ones arrived at dealer in third week of january.

 

4/1, of course, being the date that the '09s finally appear on dealership lots (and the new Postal Service tax on e-mail kicks in, etc, etc, etc)...

 

Interesting article:

http://media.ford.com/newsroom/featu...?release=24442

"Super Duty is a week ahead of schedule, and the quality is right where we want it to be," he said. "The trucks will be in dealer showrooms in the first quarter of 2007, as promised."

The "he" being the plant manager in Ky where these are made.

Also interesting:

"Ford will complete the redesign of its F-Series light-truck lineup when it launches a new F-150 sometime in mid-2008."

So I stand corrected: motor companies on the rocks can, do, and will release new model years in Feb of the year prior...

 

I was just thinking that as of Dec 31, 2008, there will be some '08 owners out there with two-year-old trucks. Amazing...

 

If you can find one good luck I have yet to see one at any of the 5 Ford dealers near my house.

 

Yeah you can definitely buy an '08 superduty right now. I played around in an 08 f350 2wd lariat at a local dealership today and the salesman was ready to sell it to me for the extremely low price of only 52 grand...haha The 6.4s are certainly more quiet the ford's previous diesel engines but anyone who believes that motor can be mistaken for a gas motor is completely wrong. It still has that diesel sound to it.

edit*
I read an article somewhere yesterday about the first '08 to be delivered to its owner. It was a 450 King Ranch, so they are out there for sure. But like Welfare said, you may have to do a little searching to find one.

 

I got it.

 

Judging by the E mails I received not everyone did.....!!

I was going to wait until April 1st for that one , but it just seemed an opportune moment the way the thread was going.

Sorry everyone who got their hopes up at the thought of brown cloth !!!

 

lol

 

Nice KR, but I wish Ford will come out with a solid color KR on top of the 2 tone.

 

LOL!

Three words -- Automotive Upholstry Shop!

With the right amount of cash, anything is possible! If someone wants Castano Brown CLOTH, I'm sure it can be had!

 

A dealer by my house has a F250 2008 KR 4X4 loaded black with lower gold.. Running lights no moonroof but it has everything else navi ext ext with the new powerstroke .. It has the sticker on the window but no prices he said I could buy it for 55,000 I dont think anyone will get much off sticker for the first few months . I plan to wait till sept or so If anyone here has bought or ordered one please let us know a round about price you paid for it ...
Thanks Ed

 

All I've read about the new superduty's tells me they are functional and used to vent excess heat from the engine compartment. Also, the grill color indicates the engine: 'Black' = gasser, 'Red' = diesel.
