Wow... They made you wear Kevlar sleeves in the factory. You must have been exposed to some serious equipment.

Watching the video at 0:48 there appears to be a large yellow cap and a connector attached to a container that is exposed via a small port from the protective skid plate. The location is very close to the current Super Duty DFCM fuel filter. I wonder if this is a new fuel filter housing? Inquiring minds needs to know....

Pretty impressive Josh and why the selection process was tough. I don't think Ford would let you and Nate alone on the factory floor for a self tour

Surprised that no Cattle Rancher was in the mix.

This is a true statement. They were watching us like hawks, especially around the diesel for some reason.

Could be the angle, but at 0:49 in the video, it sure looks like those axle tubes are smaller than what we have now. Personally, I also preferred the hitch wiring plugs mounted below the bumper. I know some disliked that location, though. I really hope they are illuminated - a small touch, but much nicer hooking up a trailer in the dark. Maybe the plate lights fill that function.

Also - are the cab clearance lamps finally LED?

A fine question indeed! And one that he can actually answer...
