I wonder how long until we see Chevy and Ram add capacity for a trailer camera and TPMS. Then I wonder how much longer after that we'll see trailer manufacturers (TT, 5th wheel, toy haulers, enclosed, heck even equipment and dump trailers) integrating camera and TPMS into their products. I'm sure it could be a nice up-sell for them.

They have already started. My toyhauler has a factory installed back up camera that sends signal to a matched Garmin RV NAV unit in my truck.

- Tilt hood so you can actually work on the motor without pulling the cab NOPE
- Steel bed so you won't destroy it by using it for its intended purpose NOPE
- larger interior than the F150 which is a large part of the appeal of a super duty for me NOPE
- ninth injector so the motor won't destroy itself trying to save the planet from gases that don't hurt anything NOPE
- aluminum body so a fender bender will total the truck YEP
Count me out.

-The cab is reportedly slightly wider than the F150
-They haven't released details about the engine, so you can't say it doesn't have a 9th injector
-The aluminum resists dents better than steel
The V10 is only in the cab & chassis trucks, just like '11-'16

1) Maybe, depending exactly on what changes they made to the axles.
2) Very unlikely. We're more likely to eventually see the bench seat go away in lower trims than be added to the higher trim.

That it's I'm done as I'm sure many many Superduty owners will be. Don't tell us for 10 years that you won't produce a diesel F150 because you think it will hurt Superduty sales and then put an F150 cab on a Superduty frame and try and milk the saving from the Superduty owners. No market share is strong enough to bare the stupidity of the pencil pushers you allowed to make this decision. If you guys are planning for the impending market crash, well done because you won't have to wait. Your sales numbers are going to tank! I noticed the current models are all back listed from $50K-70k online. At least you'll be able to get top dollar out of the last of your 1st Gen 6.7 Superduties, cause your going to be eating Ram's shorts when people laugh you off for trying to sell the Superduties with F150 interiors. You better start planning for your next remodel year to be 2018! Kiss owning 60% of the HD market goodbye!
PS: Can you keep repeating the word NEW if it the exact same cab that is on the F150? Maybe it was well received because of how cheap the old F150 model was. It won't be well received by the people that enjoyed what they were getting for the extra $20-30K!
