Keith Browning Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Oh wow. Me likes the new front end... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Doing the Virtual tour thru the engine was cool. They should extend it and make a IMAX movie out of it. I like the front end as well. Has anyone released MSRP yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy57 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I plan a visit to TX state fair with a roll of pennies. I'll toss 'em under the hood and see if any find their way to the ground.... The styling is sharp and the new vents look nice. As a person who tows tractors and hay in some hilly terrain I LOVE the selectshift feature. Ford truck guys do listen.

Aaron Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I likes it. I like the grille on the first truck on the page...wonder if converting my 08 to look like a '11 is possible. I am unsure as tho the claims about fuel economy though, didn't Ford tell us the 6.4 was gonna be a fuel miser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwayneGorniak Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I seem to recall that hollow promise as well. However, so far so good. I'm going into this one with a positive attitude unlike the the attitude I had towards the Sick-0 and 6.4L. We'll see how my attitude is in a year or two when we see what it's track record is. Still looks ugly to work on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I tried to call ya Dwayne - but I guess you gave me your home number, and I didn't know SL had the same area code as Edm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam_Dodson Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 http://www.fordvehicles.com/2011SuperDuty/?p=demos does this mean the end of the V10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregKneupper Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I like it as well. Looks good so far. The only thing I hope is that those rear fenders on that f 450 are not standard . I prefer the larger ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cetane Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 I think the V10 is going to be a F450-550 fleet option. Here is a video of the instrument cluster key on sequence. Ha ha wrench light is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshbuys Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 That is quite impressive....I like the incorporated PTO drive on the auto trans.....was wondering if they were gonna do that since I heard the manual trans would be no more!

fabfoes87 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Too bad it sounds like a damn focus when the door opens. Kinda lady like if you ask me. The front end does look good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Is it just me or is the Front oval one of the biggest I have ever seen???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy57 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 The blue oval does have a bit of "Bling" to it. The Europeans have been getting into the oversize emblems and now Fomoco seems to have picked up on it. The HUGE grille and its forward placement sort of needs a huge emblem to be balanced.

G. Bedford Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 "Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan." It is almost comical how many times they get across the thought in the ads that this is Fords' baby, in order to distance themselves from the Navistar 6.0/6.4 debacle.

gasgasman Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 The grill stays down when the hood is opened. No more scalping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristopherH Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 It looks like they have brought back my favorite tool tray too! I missed that area right behind the grill by the hood latch when the 6.4s came out! Any news on horsepower, torque, or mileage? Looks like a nice truck--too bad we have to wait 6 months for one!

Keith Browning Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 One thing I find ironic is that in the 2011 Super Duty web page there is a section for "Enthusiasts Sites" where there are links to several forums and sites. Not all of them, but many are are full of, or are dedicated to, modifying, and cannibalizing Power Stroke diesel engines... talk about chipping, tuning, defeating FEDERAL emissions devices, racing and screwing the dealers when they fuck up their trucks. I realize Ford wanted to get the word out about this new truck and engine and while "including" these forums may help speed this process it certainly was not necessary by any means as the news will and has spread like wildfire. I realize that this targets the truck buying demographic however I am concerned that this might look as though Ford condones these web sites and their content. Whilst some are responsible reporting venues others are a well known hot bed of trouble for US. I feel like Ford is warning US about modifications neglect and abuse while saying something different out of the other side of their mouth. I just find this ironic. Am I reading too much into this?

Tony302600 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 This new website changed my mind on not-waiting for the new truck. I am so going to buy a new 6.7L. Look at when Ford makes an engine in house....barely any problems. I usually see problems when they outsource everything like with navistar. I can't wait to see fuel economy numbers on the 6.7L and 6.2L also. BTW has anyone seen how ugly the new chevy dually 3500 trucks are....blah...looks like it has 13'' rims on it.

GregKneupper Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 while I was at the texas oklahoma game I finally got to look at this truck first hand. It looks real good and I like it alot. Still am not a fan of the rear fenders on the dually though. I got to see a cutaway of the engine and I liked it. I do not think that it is going to be real simple to work on though. It does look pretty crammed in the engine compartment. I also saw what looks like may be a factory gooseneck and 5th wheel hitch on a cutaway truck. I hope that this will be an option. Overall I like it. I just hope it is a better built engine than the last 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshbuys Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I also saw what looks like may be a factory gooseneck and 5th wheel hitch on a cutaway truck. I hope that this will be an option. In all the reading I've done on it, I did read somewhere that this was a new option Ford has developed for the 2011 model year, Don't remember where I saw that....

jimmy57 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 When I was at the fair I picked up a brochure on the '11 SD's and it listed the fifth wheel hitch as being industry first factory option. I agree about the dually fenders. They look cheesy on an otherwise attractive truck. The dually fenders look like the ones they used to sell with the make-a-dually kits that were popular in the past.
