Dont get into that arguement. MY mother works for Ford and she says its heart breaking that mexico produces a better product, and not for cheaper as in they pay them less, but production vs people, they are more efficient. Compared to my mom who needs to hunt the plant to find the guys that are sleeping and not doing there job, becuase they are sleeping in their cardboard bunk beds.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid is an emisions thing that Dodge has had in there cummins for at least a year and Mercedes going on about 2-3 years now.

BlueTec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ford is just a few years behind. What I get from the article is if Ford was to start using this technology they could increase injection pressure for better fuel economy since what I hear the 08 is horrible, and use this BLUE technology. Interesing? Blue, like toilet water, Urea? isnt that pee?

Nice looking truck. I can't see myself trading in my superduty for one though.

Truck is so ugly though. I much prefer the current look of the truck. I gotta say though, I love shorter length trucks lifted big. They just look so stocky.

I do agree that in some cases shorter beds look better when lifted, but the bed on that F150 is too short. I've seen F150 crew cabs with a longer more proportionate bed and it looks way better when the cab doesn't dwarf the bed.
Then again I still like a good looking lifted long bed.

My truck has a 5.5 foot bed lol, I just like short beds.

Hey I do not want to start a debate, but the company I work for sent part of our work down there and all they produce there is crap. We are a Tier 1 supplier of Ford. GM and
Chrysler. I know what kind of engines in ford trucks was produced in Indiana and nothing
built in Mexico will ever be as good as those engines are.

Hold on what is everyone excided about? a new truck that has less payload and has the same if not worse mpg( 18) as our superduties? and i have to piss in the gas tank. No thanks i'll keep my superduty. I'd rather piss on a chevy than my truck.
