Congrats! These new trucks are unreal... Where will the ceiling for power on HD trucks be?!? One of the big 3 will hit 1000 ft/lbs of torque before too long.
Yeah it's crazy how the advances in the computer/tech world has helped aid the unbelievable advances in diesel engines in the last 20 years... And the automotive world in general... Diesel specific though, power outputs have almost doubled since the late 90's. Say what you want about the electronic nannies, and emissions crap... These engines (from all the big 3) are unreal.
I looked one over at my local dealer quickly the other day. Hated the body. Didn't get in it.
I didn't have time to pop the hood but took a look underneath.
Frame looks awesome.
Exhaust looked similar enough
The DFCM is huge, big rectangle.
Brochure said upgraded crank, main bearings, pistons, "lightened" upgraded heads, maybe a few other things. Bigger brakes same transmission.
The reciever hitch is available up to 3" with no need for weight distribution bars up to 21k
Wheels looked tacky, the whole 150 sharing thing is a deal breaker for me. The bed looks smaller, the mirrors are smaller, the cclb is 4" longer.
What a beautiful truck! Without huge incenties and rebates i just dont know how one can afford these things. Hell, I make a ton of money and I couldnt imagine spending full MSRP on one unless it was making me money. The F150 cab is amazing, quiet, comfortable and refined... hope you get a million miles out of it!
That's an easier pill to swallow than what I had to do and spend $8k over MSRP for a vehicle that can't tow anything, isn't even comfortable for kids to sit in the back of and looks so pretty you don't want to drive it... If someone wants something bad enough they'll pay it and dealers know it. I'm amazed that folks are getting these below MSRP already though. I've yet to see one in my area at all.
Sweet ride. Man go ahead and level that thing out.
