Even more than Stecz, He just does't know it.

but I am sure glad I bought an 06 F350 as I had a hunch the new Superduty was going to be Butt Ugly. I tried to download a pic from edmonds.com but they encrypted it.

I hope the Mustang can keep them afloat.

I agree. I hope the new drivetrain makes up for the looks.

Thanks Sydwayz;

It is the grille/headlights that I cannot stand.

It used to be you only had to wait 5 years for the next model upgrade to come, now it is closer to 7 or 8. I usually order a new truck every other year. Unless they come to their senses, I won't keep that tradition up.

Agree. I think it looks terrible. I just upgraded my 2000 to a 2005 grille and projector headlamps. It looks MUCH better than the 2007 mule.

I remember reading a PM magazine a couple years back that showed an F350 in the works that was a hybrid. Does anyone know anything about this truck?

"Although the gasoline engine options aren't expected to change much, diesel fans will be glad to know there's an all-new Powerstroke in the works. Built by International, the new diesel V8 will displace 6.4-liters, feature a pair of sequential turbos and generate 350hp and 650 pound feet of torque. Ford's current Powerstroke has been plagued with problems so the arrival of the new 6.4 can't come soon enough"

Dont know if I would want to be the first to get a new Powerstroke design

The only thing I've seen close to that is the Ford SuperChief concept. It features Ford's V10 with a supercharger, but it has the ability to run on 3 different types of fuel. Regular gas, E85 Ethanol, and hydrogen.



Check it out here.

I hope they get this one right, out of the box. Because if not, they won't have another chance I'm afraid.
