Respectfully, I think it's much more than just fender flares. Let's be realistic for a moment: $60,000 is a HUGE commitment to owning a truck, even if it's something as beloved as a SuperDuty. What about the rest of the middle-class world? How about some love to the singlewheelers? The ones who don't want an oversized, fuel-guzzling, can't fit through the drive-thru, don't even think of going into the parking garage kind of vehicle. How about a Harley-Davidson edition F-250 PSD? Or HDE F-350 single wheel? Give more to the middle guys! In my opinion, especially with the intolerable front fascia of the '08, it takes a steady hand to make a dually look 'super cool', when it doesn't seem to take as much to make a single cool. They have better stances raised, they're easier to work on, & are seen shooting down the old 1320. Is anyone else with me?

" Ford is taking a page from Nissan's playbook by offering a factory-applied, spray-in bedliner for 09 Superduty pick-ups. Ford says it's Tough Bed" option is a "Military grade coating" that has been through testing to withstand blomb blasts. It has performed equal to or better than other protective coating systems at one-third the thickness. Developed by PPG, the bedliner comes with a full factory warranty and will be available this summer"

I must say, this was very convenient.
