Cool stuff. Hope it works out for them, anything sice the 7.3 has been a joke. I like the grill in the new Ford also

Wow I'm sold. I never was sold on a 6.0 it was just what you had to get. The 5r transmission has been great and behind a 7.3 would be perfect. The 6.4 always seemed like a rushed replacement for emissions and the constant failing 6.0 and again it failed. I would bet the new 6.7 has been in development since the 7.3 was put on the shelf.

OMG!

I thought they were going to improve the Griswald family vacation grille and headlights. Damn, they made it 10X uglier. What a disappointment.

Looks like my 06 will have to hang around another product cycle (my 6.0 is just fine) or maybe a move to a 650 is in order.

Are the designers on LSD? WTF?

Oh and BTW, I bleed Ford blue but gawd that sucks.

I know it is only my opinion. This is probably going to be the best performing light duty truck ever but I have been spoiled with having them look great too. Since 1949 only the 1958-60 and 1987-1991 trucks have been fugly.

I just can't stand the upside down stacked headlights and a grille that seems to grow 20% each product cycle. They hit a home run with the Tonka show truck and the artists renditions looked killer.

I am disappointed with the front end

Why are they buying Ford engines for GM's now?


Ford makes a nice truck but they need to get the reliability back to where it was 10 years ago.... Don't see any threads on here about what should I do with this 08 Duramax or 08 Cummins........

Which one do you have, or are you looking at both to buy one?
