I would love to get one of those. Awesome looking trucks! I am scared to death of a 6.4 out of warranty though. My 6.0 was an endless money pit. I guess Ill keep the trusty 7.3 until theres a bunch of 6.7s with a few hundred thousand on them trouble free.

I have a 7.3L. I don't know what a turning radius is. I have a rudder, and hope for a strong breeze to assist.

I love my 6.0. ..did the bullet proofing and it rocks. The 6.4 benefits from the same mods. A 6.4 with the deletes done and a tune is a 550hp truck all day long. I liked my 2002 7.3, but the newer motors and transmissions make a world of difference. The 6 spd auto behind the 6.7 is a sweet transmission. Nice deep low gears and tight splits to get you going even with a tall axle gear. I always thought a 7.3 with a 5 or 6 speed auto would be a sweet set up.

Not sure why all this talk about smaller. Check out a 2015 F150 CrewCab and it is bigger than the current Super Duty. They also are giving a flat floor with the new cab which is awesome!

The last picture looks exactly like my 15 F150. With the rear seats folded its ample room for my 8 month old German Shepherd. My only complaint is the paint doesn't work well over the aluminum, especially in the door jams. It looks like it was painted with a roller brush inside all the doors. Maybe they'll be better on a more expensive truck. I don't normally buy American vehicles, but they do build the best trucks and SUVS before the Germans got into the segment. When I do buy American its been Ford!

Whatever the hell these new vents are on the front fenders look awful. I may be biased though, I really love the looks of this truck.

If they end up sharing the same cab with the 150 then your rear passengers will end up with more room. Wife has a 15 f150 and I have a 15 f250.
I will say though I still prefer the 15-16 over the new one.

Trying hard to get a new Super Duty for the Boyne Thunder street show. I know one of the managers in the promotion team. Public release won't be estimated until September 1st. I would hope they understand all the boaters make up a very high number of their customers.
