Nope in July we'll get full specs, hp and tq ratings, tow and payload ratings.

From what I have seen the test mules pulling around town, I'd say at least.

Has Ford ever opened the order banks without providing the specs? I can see possibly holding back on power specs because that isn't a safety issue. The GVWR and tow ratings are.
I'd think we will get those numbers when we are first able to order.

Order Banks opened for f150 before specs were released. Not sure what the secret it let everyone know, ford acts like no one will buy one if Chevy tops them! Won't matter if the specs are the same and the new dmax is more, it will still outsell everyone!!

Yes, Ford routinely opens the order bank before releasing full specs. The order guides will say TBD for HP/torque, and likely even tow and GVWR numbers.

I may not be in my right mind but I would predict specs will not be less than last year, and last years trucks are awesome. I am more interested in what the truck is, not the final tuning numbers in a race to the top of the bragging charts. The hardware is established at this point, any fine tuning can be done on the chip. And I really don't care if I am only topping a 8 mile 7% grade with 12,000 lbs at 81 mph instead of 82. Specs are great but the art and balance of the vehicle is most important to me. I usually spend way too much money on rear tires as it is.

On initial launch they fill the stock orders first. Frankly we at the dealerships don't care what the specs are as we can't decide to buy different trucks than what Ford makes. The system is still built more around the notion of buying whats on the lot than doing a factory order. I myself ordered a Mustang without ever seeing or driving the new body style in person. Trucks do matter a bit more, but generally it will do more than you need unless you were right on the fence between gas and diesel before.

The specs matter to me. For the current model year the GMC 3500 has a higher tow rating than the F-350. I'm holding out for a 2017 hoping that Ford bumps the conventional tow ratings enough to at least match GMC.

I'll bet lunch (heck, lunch every day for a week) that Ford's ratings will beat GM and Ram's current offerings.

But, this is reportedly 'Gen 2' of the 6.7L PowerStroke, so there will likely be some physical changes to the engine. It's likely built to go up to 1100-1200 ft-lbs.
Personally, I think that's ludicrous. The 440/860 of the current PS is plenty, and I would prefer to see increases in MPG a priority over increases in power and torque. The engine isn't the limiting factor of the current Super Duty anyway.

With that much of a power increase (or just that much power to start with) I would be worried about the transmission.
The increased power is attractive. I'm looking for a vehicle that I don't need to do any mods to. I have mod-fatigue with my current vehicle.
