    I love the gap between the bumper and the headlights in the lead picture. I could fit my hand in there. The more things change...

    why does a heavy duty truck need a chrome bumper or any chrome at all for that matter? Did orange country choppers buy ford or something? I mean it's going to look so incredibly awful once the truck has been driven for any amount of time. road debris, dirt, pitting, scratches all show up on chrome way more than on paint. Oh yeah and the grille is stolen from honda.

    Thank god a new Stupid Duty, so the dimestore cowboys and lawyers can haul themselves and a laptop to their office job. I live in DFW and 90% of these end up either black or silver King Ranches with leather and all the toys. Not WORK trucks. Then the idiots put as loud as possible 4+" exhaust because they think they are driving a big rig. Interesting the VW TDIs can make power without clack clack noise. Oh thats right, noise != power. I wish license plates where priced exponentially proportional to GVW.

    Oh BTW, it doesn't look any bigger next to a 10' high truck.

    @rickerbr: Maybe because I'm from Detroit, but after reading your post, I couldn't help but think, good for Ford! Selling lots of the "premium" F150 models, and making a nice chunk of change by doing so.

    Who cares what someone does with their truck... Ford makes something that people want to buy and makes a profit by doing so.

    Noise doesn't equal power... but sometimes it sounds cool.

    Look carefully at those specs of the engines... That scorpion diesel... OHV with 2V per cyl by the looks of it.

    And the new 6.2L gas V8? A 2V SOHC design...

    Not saying they're bad engines... but to me it sounds like they're designed for simplicity and durability (while still being way better than the engines they replace) rather than actually being cutting edge designs.

    @Ben Wojdyla: Whoops.... you're right... my mistake. And I believe the 6.4L powerstroke was a 4v design too.

    @Jono: On the subject of what is 'advanced'... it's well documented that OHC has a friction advantage over OHV.

    But OHV has a packaging advantage.

    For this to be a cutting edge design, it would be SOHC or DOHC, not OHV.

    If I had to compare it to the European diesels Ford has, some of which also have CGI blocks, I'd have to say this is less advanced compared to what is used in Europe.

    But for a truck application, that's not necessarily a bad thing...

    maybe toyota and ford should get together and design cars. Ford manages to make decent looking cars on the outside but some fails at interior ergonomics. Toyota as late seems to have the opposite problem. Sequoia, 4runner, Rav, Highlander....

    @GodwinHaemon: Have you seen Ford's latest round of interiors? The new interiors in the Focus, Fusion, Taurus, Mustang, and F-150 are the best in their respective classes, with much nicer materials than the previous generations, better design, better fit and finish, and excellent ergonomics.

    The only vehicle that they currently sell that is still well behind the curve is the Ranger, which, despite good ergonomics, still has a cheap interior; but then, you kind of expect that with an inexpensive but tough, no-BS compact pickup.

    "Dual knock sensors: A knock sensor on each bank of cylinders of the V-8 engine allows the spark timing of each of the cylinders to be individually optimized real time, throughout the engine speed range. The engine continuously monitors engine performance and applies this real-time learning to optimize timing via an adaptive algorithm."

    Translation: Fuel it with Sunoco Ultra, let it breathe cold intake air, and drive it like you stole it, and it'll put out even more power.

    The title lead me to believe that there was some tale about a catastrophic failure of the vehicle.

    This is not nearly as exciting, but ultimately more constructive.

    I get it. Grilles need to be large because the engines need to breathe. Great. But it could be half this size if they didn't put in the ugly air-blocking chrome inserts.

    To paraphrase a fellow T-bricker, if this thing had any more grille, it would run on propane.
