Spotting a 2011 from behind differences?
While driving I come across several 2008-10 models. I was wondering an easy way to tell from looking at the tailgate forward how to tell the difference between a 2008-10 from a 2011. I can't see any difference.
Now the sides I look for the F250 logo or the Circle on the door.
Front is obvious along with the hood.
From the 2003-2007 to the 2008-10, just look at the mirrors.
Thanks
SHane

I can't think of anything from directly behind. From the rear and slightly to the side you could spot a different sheet metal shape around the rear wheel wells, fronts too. The step bars could be a giveaway too, and the big fuel door.

The only thing I can think off "might be" that there are more wires and hoses from DEF tank and the rear end locker. That might be next to impossible though to see.
I like the post from above, look to see if the cab is sorta bright from a big toothy grin.

Rick, Since I bleed Blue I figure if I sign up there they will label me as a TROLL or throw me so fast into BAN CAMP it would be fruitless.

The only thing I can think of that might give you a idea would be the 2 1/2" receiver hitch. Not fool proof as not all came set up that way, but mine did.
Other than that the white tooth grin seems to be your best consensus
