Hi List,
My first thought when I saw the thread title was the same, however, after
reading the description, I realized that this was incorrect, so I went to the
web site and checked. What I found was that the wheelbase does not change
with this option, so it can't be a Super Cab scabbed onto the back of a Crew
Cab. In my opinion, Ford should not confuse us poor dumb Dodge smucks with
this kind of terminology (Super Crew Cab). The description on the
web site
>
was pretty poor, but it is a new option, I hope to hear more about it soon.
Best Regards,
Robert Stout

I'd like to say something here. Check your local laws, and get it repaired if at all
possible. Here's a little personal experience:
In '94 I bought a brand new Ranger 4x2, Supercab, 4.0, XLT. After about a year it
developed a problem with the speedometer. Around 65mph it would occasionally jump up
about 10mph for several minutes, then fall back down. You could faintly here a
rubbing noise, which I assume was the magnet rubbing the cup. Anyway, I just dealt
with it until '96 at 35,000 miles. I took it in and when I went to pick it up it was
told they had to replace the speedo. So I'm like, "All right.". I get in my truck
and the speedo says "000000". I get back out and start asking questions. I was told
that by law, in the state of Ohio, no one can roll an odometer. So they have to put
in replacements reading at zero. He then showed me a sticker they put in the door
jam that read, "This vehicle is equipped with a replacement odometer. The mileage at
the time of replacement was:xxxxx and the date:xxxxxx". Also I learned that all
replacement odometers have red numerals on a white background for the tenths. I
thought all was well.
When I went to trade my truck in (on the one I have now), I couldn't get squat for
it. I called banks, other dealers, and even my attorney. I was just screwed. The
reason why is two part: 1. Ohio will not allow you to roll new replacement odometers
forward to match the old one they are replacing. They must read dead zero. 2. on
Ohio titles, you have to check one of two options, a) My odometer reads the actual
mileage of the vehicle, or b) Mileage is unknown.
By law I had to claim mileage unknown even though I knew the correction and it was
posted on the door. It cut the value of my vehicle in half.
So just check it out first so you don't get screwed like I did.

It will be just a Crew cab (no super cab attached). It will have 4 bucket
seats. DRW only (from what the computer says) due to the 19.5" wheels.

I've had one customer do this (after braking his old grille) and he put in
an Expedition grille. It looks very similar but just different enough that
it makes you think about whats different when you meet the truck. I
guessing that the Expedition
grille will be slightly different again next
year so you might try that.
