Some of these answers are already answered by the order guide which has been available a few weeks now.

-Short bed fuel capacity is 34 gallons, gas or diesel.
-Power tailgate lock is standard XLT and up.
-LED lighting in the bed will mirror the F-150 design, with lights in each far corner, plus the rear tailgate handle "flashlight," and a button in the bed to turn on the box lights and roof lights.
-LED headlights and taillights are optional on higher trims; no HID lighting

From still images, there is some kind of DEF readout but it is not an actual gauge.

You wish! right?

I was thrilled my dealer actually has a GT350 sitting in the showroom - couldn't touch, but hood was up, car was awesome. Of course, that pales to the GT...probably will never see one.

Been retired 9 years now and have to keep a calendar.
Never had to do that when I worked. Retirement is totally underrated. Cherish it.

Yup. I've been retired almost 2 years and I seem to be busy all the time. My car and truck have been neglected. I just spent 1 1/2 days detailing the car and started on the truck today. She's clean and partially waxed. Also, I have a half finished project of running duct from my over stove microwave to exhaust the smoke and grease out of the house. The adapter from the microwave to 6" round duct couldn't be had in this small town, so I had to order from Amazon. I got it today, but I really want to finish the truck, now!

He is he going to drive it off the line when they don't even let anyone in for tours?

I don't know all the logistics, Duane. All I know is that even when he sounds too enthusiastic about something and I think there is a 90% chance that it won't happen, this guy always seems to make it happen. He's not the type that would tell me about the drive it off the assembly line deal if he didn't know it was going to happen. Maybe it is a privilege granted to those in the We Own Work videos.
