I highly recommend viewing the powertrain videos *link above*. the powerstoke video at 2:50 is cool! The videos are unbeleivable quality!

All NEW! 6.2L V8 Gasoline engine and 6.7L all new diesel with a cool new turbo design. And an all New 6-speed automatic.


Looks like they`ve done a ton of homework!

[CJ Hungus]

very nice truck! Im glad to see Ford stepping up their game with the new diesel and gas engines. But that grille..... :puke:

[Z71_Silvy]

I wish my truck could go through a puddle.

-------------------------------------

But that grille..... :puke:

I saw a pic where the stupid little chrome bars that look like these [ ], were removed....looked much better. Actually...it looked a lot like this:

Still not good...but certainly better.

I agree, looks much better, when somebody gets one we`ll have to do a how-to remove....:D

I can invision a big billet grille looking good too.

[Alljackedup408]

cant wait to see how hard this engine fails. just joking :lol:.. we'll see if bringing the diesel in house will change things.. the 6.0 was pitiful.. and i never owned one.. that statement is coming from FORD guys. Went through turbos and head gaskets like they were goin outta style. and the last.. the 6.4... not that impressive either. im wishing ford luck on this one.

[DV2000NJ]

Guys, watch it. This is getting WAY too close to brand-bashing.

[Alljackedup408]

no such thing. a discussion. :thumbs:

[Alljackedup408]

i do like the LCD screen in the gauge cluster. I wouldnt wanna know what that would cost if it got broken or failed. :eek:

One of our utility trucks (2004 Super Duty, long box, ext. cab) needed a new 6.0 PSD at 11K miles.

Our newest ambulance needed a new 6.0 PSD at 50K miles.

I have read many articles that Navistar did not have near the problems with the VT365 (Navistar's name for the 6.0 PSD) that Ford did in their applications. It also put out much less power. They speculate that, despite Navistar's recommendation, Ford insisted on increasing the power numbers to "win" on paper comparisons.

Some of the power figures I have seen for the Navistar version was 230HP and 620TQ...while in the Super Duty, it's output was around 325HP and 565TQ. The engine's electronics are different as well. Some even say that the injectors are different too.

But people love to blame the whole thing on Navistar...

Matt I thought you loved Ford trucks what happened :jester:

[Z71_Silvy]

Matt I thought you loved Ford trucks what happened :jester:

They're ok......but the 6.0 was a fiasco.

I much prefer the 7.3. I don't think anyone can argue that engine was bullet proof.

Personally, truck have gotten so unnecessarily big lately, I think they all should get the Navistar DT466 and be done with it. That engine has been fantastic from the day my grandpa was appointed as Chief Engineer.

There is not a trip you take that you don't pass a truck powered by a DT466.

[Cowboy Cadillac]

Im not liking some of the stuff with this one....the interior door panels, grille, and the 6.7 powerstroke badge are hideous! Otherwise not too bad...hopefully the new diesel works as well or better than expected....:thumbs:

I still wish they would've left the headlights on top of the parking lights. :nonod:

Otherwise, it's a nice lookin' truck.

Doesn't it have something to do with the maximum allowable distance from the ground for the headlights or something?

[CJ Hungus]

The interior of that truck looks great and has some nice gadgets that I would like on my truck. But that grille headlight area just doesn't do it for me.

[Z71_Silvy]

Four cup holders for the front two passengers? :wtf:

Just because you can...doesn't mean you should.

[DarrenWS6]

2_-7yDQ2YMU

Love it! Looks pretty good. Seeing the grill in actual life terms on camera it looks fairly better, but its still too much.. 3 bars at minimum would be the limit of all that chrome.

Major fail to that guy for clearly displaying its FX4 decals on the bed, then when he opened the door calling it a 'Lariat', then claiming its FX4 when he discusses the transfer case and rear diff lock. I do like how the headlamps are swept back to the fenders more like in the F150, but the tail lamps are too small, and boring. The era of larger tail lights is now in session. Needs bigger lights such as the GMt 900 trucks, those are freaking huge. And they need to match the lines of the fronts, like the new F150s tails do for the front.

One thing though, quiet diesel = sound fail, Loud diesel idle, :naughty:


Four cup holders for the front two passengers? :wtf:

Nearly every truck has 4 cup holders up front, even yours does... At least it should. My 05 HD had console cup holders and another set down on the floor near the transfercase shifter. They just aren't side by side, but in this new SD i'll agree it is usual looking seeing 4 holders by each other, but unlike the F150 which has them pop out from the dash, or in your case, the holder infront of the jump seat down on the floor. But lets face it, cup holders are change and phone holders most of the time.

Oh thats right, LT3, means luxury interior with full size console, I stand corrected.

Na they're both complete different packages. Leather is standard in Lariat, but FX4 is standard in sport cloth, leather optional.

[Stumpuller6.2]

nice, well i could sure use four cup holders. :D :drinking:

[mr_bots]

The GMT 900s with a front bench have 5. Three in the middle and a bottle holder in each front door. Never had cups or bottles in all of them, but they come in handy for holding all kinds of shit. The more the merrier. :thumbs:

I've got 4 in the front of my Blazer :dunno:

Two in the console, and one in each door...

[DarrenWS6]

I have 6 technically, 2 in the jump seat console lid, 2 in the trey pop out in the bottom of the dash, and 1 per front door :eek:

Well hell, anyone ever end up drinking two different drinks at once? Like a coffee and a soda out of the blue? Thats what automakers are noticing out of customers :lol:

Guess so, seems like not only do the engine stats in automakers matter, but who has the most cup holders is next in line :crazy:

Hell in the 80s my parents had a 86 Trans Am as a daily driver, and they had NO cup holders. I only use one, two if i have my phone in the other.

I could understand it if the drink holders were different sizes...you know...one for the big gulp, one for the Evian, one for the Red Bull and one for the beer.

Then it would make sense. But having a half-dozen cup holders all the same size is like buying a vehicle with 7 wheels. Sure, you can only use 4 at a time, and have one as a spare...but why do you need the other two?

It really shows where the design priorities are. IF the manufactures spent half the time making the vehicle better rather than stuffing them with cup holders...they wouldn't be in the spot their in today.

/rant

[BigRed]

I think somebody here has cupholder-envy. :lol:

[Stumpuller6.2]

they are really handy for me, i put my oil sample bottles in them when they are full to prevent them from leaking all over the truck. :) plus i can have my coke, and water bottle handy. :naughty:

Oh come on Darkanion, he has a point, can you imagine the countless hours the engineers spend designing cupholders and since it's the same engineers as the ones designing the drivetrain, just think how much better these trucks could be if they only had 2 cupholders instead of 4. :lol:

That's right! There's only one team doing the whole vehicle! I forgot about that, "since they're in such bad shape," everyone has to multi-task now! I bet that's why the taillights are so small and the exhaust isn't louder.........! :lol:

EDIT : Darren, not poking fun at what you said.. I actually kind of agree with you about the taillights vs. the size of the rest of the vehicle. :cheers:

Come on boys. You can find something else to argue about besides soccer mom pleasing CUP HOLDERS.

Those are basically the same tail lights the SD's have had since 2000. Looks like they may have reworked them a little, but overall the same shape and look as the 97-03 F-150's. The SD's shared tailgates and tail lights with the F150 back then.

As far as too many cupholders, I'd have to disagree. The Honda my wife and I traded didn't have enough and the Nissan we replaced it with doesn't have enough. The ones the Nissan have are too damn close together to put normal size drinks in. So IMO Cupholders FTW!

Yeah, I was watching the video and reading your comments at the same time. The tail lights do seem under-sized for how big the rest of the truck is.. :dunno:

[DarrenWS6]

Those tails can fit '97 - '03s F150s im pretty sure, seen a couple people fit SD tails on the F150s. Unsure of any harness modification but I would imagine so, since the reverse lens is way up top with less slack.

[f150fella08]

the 99-07 super duty tail lights and 97-03 f150 lights will interchange as far as the 08-present i am not sure.

my extended cab has 4 cup holders, 2 in the center console and 2 in the slide out portion in the dash..i think there are "bottle holders" in each of the back doors

yea im not sure why they put the parking lights on top..thats kinda like the new chevrolets..why are the high beams on the bottom?

They've always been on the bottom when the headlights are stacked... On anything, usually... :lol:

It's the way the reflectors work.

The GMT900 Chev and GMC's are the same way.

[f150fella08]

dont pay much attention then..havent really seen many stacked headlights then i dont guess

[Alljackedup408]

I saw one of these yesterday for the first time driving down the road towing a boat. Ive gotta say it looks pretty good. Grille has to grow on me.. but the bed sides look great... it was a white FX4 dually. I liked it!

[ford4wd08]

wow ford is so bad ass, man its ridiculous what theyve been able to do lately..... :ford::drool:

Great Googley Moogley... I thought it was bad enough havin a 2 inch chrome trim piece around my grille. Those thing have a foot of chrome around the grille and 2 huge bars in the middle... Nice truck, just change the grille.

[THEPRODJECT01]

im just glad ford has the BIG BUCKS to develoup all these new engines and powertrains

the new 5.0, the 6.2 , and the 6.7, and the new six speed!

and they got the new raptor out, ford has a very bright future :)

[DarrenWS6]

I do hope there are more grill options for these new models, but damn they're still awesome.

[weymard]

Awesome trucks you are right Darren, but I love these grill with a lot of chrome :thumbs:
