I agree. But why Ford can’t come up with a modern looking truck is beyond me. The funky tail light shape was the first step out of the playhouse. Then they stumbled. Just now, for 2020, Ford has come up with interesting wheels instead of those that look like punched plate steel, or repainted previous trim wheels. Okay, I’ll give in... the Super Duty Limited wheels look good. Frankly, the only nice F-150 wheel was the 2015-2017 20” chrome. GM and the Goat may look space-aged, but at least buyers feel they are getting something new.

i already have to do a double take since 17+ super duties and 15+ 150s have the same cab. back in the day 150-350 were identical.

I respectfully disagree, Ford is designing trucks, three cube ( engine, cab, cargo) trucks. I hope they keep it up, otherwise they’ll have three-quarter and one-ton Rancheros.

Based upon the 30+ year old death wobble, I think you are safe. Ford May be at the top, but on some things, they just don’t move fast. I suspect the current sheetmetal is safe for at least another 13 years. The grilles, tail lights, and side vents are another story.

Another small piece of information regarding the 7.3. The redline is now 5,250 rpm (compared to the 6.2’s 6,000 rpm).

I also find it interesting that it looks like you’ll be able to get the 8” lcd instrument cluster in a work truck trim on that 650/750. Don’t know if that’s an XL or XLT but either way... I hope that these things are going to be available on the 250-450 XL & XLT...

Could that image be from a E series of some sort or do the 650/750 trucks have rear ac blowers? Note the front and rear fan controls.

it’s from an E-450. Rear for the RV part I would assume.

You can get the 12” screen on the Ram Tradesman, so I assume Ford will follow.

I wonder if waiting for the 10 speed transmission will be worth the wait. Will the increase in MPG be that significant.

maybe marginal increase. But the acceleration, quick response to the demand of power, and the grade shifting will be significant improvement.
