Updated Spy Shots of Super Duty

Saw this on Truck Trend. Looks like they are disguising a few things.

Looks like a large departure from the current truck. That camo pattern is very effective!

I don't see the "Super Duty dip" on the bottom of the front windows. Odd that they would design that styling into the F-150, then remove it from the Super Duty.

Are they sure that's a Ford? It could easily be a Chevrolet/GM test mule.

I think it still has it, its just covered by the camo. If you look at the mirror placement, the bottom of the mirror is below where the camo is, which would point to that dip being there. If you look at the wheels, they have ford emblems.

I don't see the Window dip either and if it's not there, it will be a mistake in my books... that deep makes Ford different from the others and it add a lot of natural light to the cab... I hope it's only the camouflage. ...

Seems like more rake on the windshield too. Headlights and taillights are different. I think the cab might be padding and camo but the third brake light is out on that. May have extended it out to through us all off eh. Looks to have the F150 body line running the length of it. I would not be opposed to the F150 and Superduty being more alike now really. After sitting behind a new F150 at a light the other day I though to myself that they look pretty good.

This is def the new F250. When I saw it about a year ago while doing a review it looked almost the same from what I can tell. Going to be an awesome truck. The one i sat in was not a mega cab though. I'm pretty sure the extra cab length is just cardboard.

Is there a better way to throw off the public? Cobble together a disguised GMC 2500 test mule, put Ford emblems on the wheels and drive it around Michigan.

WOW! Great find.

That is definitely interesting. Not sure I like the front fender vents but otherwise it's quite the departure from the past 17 years or so. I'm liking that!

The box kind of looks stunted but I do really like it overall. Excited for the actual reveal. My guess is the state fair of Texas will be the time.

I'm torn. I'm not sure I like it.
