Leave that nasty stuff out of here.

7th Gen from 79-86 as the best, then 9th Gen from 91-96.

 

There's been rumor's that the 6.2 would go the away like it did in the '15 F150 and be replaced with the next gen 3.5 Eco Boost. The same Eco Boost that's going into the '17 Raptor.

 

The best truck I ever owned was a January built 96. I drove it well over 100,000 miles and only changed the oil and filter. It never went in for any kind of service. A lot can be said for the last year run of cars or trucks. I am still kicking myself for letting it go but I couldn't afford to keep it and buy the troublesome 01 7.3 liter diesel I traded for. After two years of that truck I had enough and traded for the problem free, first year run, 03 6.0 diesel I still own. Good luck to the guys or gals buying the first year 17 Superduty.

 

I get that, but Ford would probably just add the EB option not get rid of the 6.2. Ford usually keeps an engine much longer. Since the 6.2 Is only used in the SD, I knew it was safe.

 

Ford said that they need a v8 to comply with Flexfuel. Some buyers require a alternate fuel vehicles. I don't think the EB is Flexfuel ready.

 

What day of the fair will the truck be introduced?
I may drive over and check it out 1st hand..

 

Ford Super Duty Reveal Officially Set For Texas State Fair - Ford-Trucks.com

For the record, State Fair Media Day is September 24th, but there may be a special event the night before. We’ll have to wait and see.

 

Last night at the Ford truck club they said the 25th... They said it would be simulcast for those of us outside Texas. If I get a link or more official date for that I'll post it, though the guys trolling the web will probably find it first.

*They refers to the Ford reps there.

 

Thanks for the update.i am looking forward to seeing it.

 

The 5.0 is, but even if they add the 5.0 I doubt they would kill the 6.2. It would just be another option. The F150 5.0 could be a great standard engine for the new SD.

 

I have to agree with that statement.

 

I'm not sure I'm liking what I see.

 

Interesting...

Looks like the leaked photo we got back in March.

 

Yup, looks that fugly truck in the leaked photo.

Looks like the sd will finally get nice headlights, looks like the same led style from the new f150

 

It kinda looks like a 1990 suburban to me. I'm excited to see the actual truck and not that terrible picture from earlier this year. I did like the look and I really like what I see here though.
