I will not own one until 2026. So I will have some time to get my cash together. County usually runs 9or10 years before I get to bid on stuff.

Looks smaller than previous models.

I read somewhere they might start selling these early next year, is that true?

Anyone know what the main differences are? Offering an Eco engine?

Man that's ugly. The front end looks like those homely shoe box suv's Ford makes. Freestyle I think they are called??

The F-150 looks way better.

Definitely ugly, I remember the article where they were testing future super-duties and were experimenting with an aluminum frame, anyone hear any news on that? I know the testing revealed a few "hiccups" :laughing: the fiery kind!

As a Ford guy, sad to say that is about the 'fugliest Ford ever. What are they thinking???

And I thought the new Chebby was ugly? Now this IS a horse race for that crown!

The front facia is starting to resemble a GM. To me the bed also looks too low.

Not knowing how the styling was going to turn out is one of the main reasons I bought my '15 F-450. That and not wanting to wait several years for the bugs to get worked out of a new design. So far I haven't been disappointed.

Does Ford currently use a different cab between ½ ton and ¾ ton models? GM and Dodge use the same cab for all pickups? Maybe Ford is looking to go the same route (one cab for all) in the future.

Correct- 150 and 250 up were two separate cab lines-dumb huh? considering interior dimensions are almost identical. The new SD will in fact use many 150 cab components. Looks like their biggest issue will be redesigning the firewall as I'm told you can't fit a Power Stroke in a 150 because of the firewall-so that is one key piece that must be re-engineered.

It may sound dumb, but I know at least one guy (big, 6'5", way overweight) who had absolutely no need for a F250 but buys them instead of F150 because he says he "fits" better. The heaviest thing he ever hauls is a deer carcass in the bed; go figure. I think he also told me he preferred the way the stock 250 sat versus the 150, that the 150 was lower in the front than the back when unloaded and he didn't like the look. To each his own, I guess.

It's that grill/hood shape that has to go. I like the looks of the current model way better.

Still scared of Powerstrokes though. Got two more here with constant shut downs because of exhaust gas temp sensor failures and def system failures.
