I really need to stay out of these threads. I’m wanting a new truck more and more each day. The 7.3 is about the most perfect motor for me. I’m wanting power to tow my camper, payload of an HD, don’t care much about fuel economy.

I hope the automatic emergency braking can be turned off. My collision avoidance alert is set off by a road sign coming into my town, and also set off by a sign coming down the Blue Ridge......both signs are on the outside of curves. I don't want my truck slamming on the brakes every time I encounter something like that. Warn me, but don't slam on the brakes.

Ford states that if the driver doesn't act as it deems necessary, the brakes can be applied automatically.

Great, I'm relieved they didn't change the interior much. That's my favorite feature of current truck. But I do like the new speed dial numerals.
I had been convinced I'd buy a 2020 GMC HD, now I might end up with the Ford again. 7.3 or 6.7? It will depend on the numbers and MPG when towing.
Let's hope this is available in July. Whatever truck is on the lot first is what I'll buy.

Talk about pulling a fast one .
I hope Fords new 10 speed is based off there current 6 speed which is a really good transmission .

You can buy an aftermarket one from places like Nichols manuf, it's not a perfect plug and play, there is minor work involved.........they make a camera extension cord too. I put my 7/12 in the bed.
I have adaptive cruise. My collision warning goes off often when cruise is not activated. I’ve never had my truck brake without my input.

I've been in a truck with preloaded braking assist. Went to pass a slow vehicle on a two-lane road, hit the gas hard to get around and was just about in the oncoming lane, then the slow driver turned his left signal on. I quickly moved from the gas to brake (didn't need emergency braking, just wanted to slow down and abort). Well, the truck gave me 100% braking power and sent the truck into a massive nose dive. I was furious. I was under the impression that I was the operator of the vehicle. I am not a fan of a vehicle taking over certain functions based on computer programming.

You must be a youngin’. It always used to be release of a new year model the fall of the previous year. This would get us back to the norm. Ford spanked the standard years ago releasing trucks in the spring of the previous year for which they were the model year. Then, ran with it for several generations. Frankly, IMO, it screwed up a bunch of things. It should get back to the original standard.
Remember the 'half years' ? In particular the 70-1/2 Ford Falcon comes to mind...but there were many others...

If they are 'sky sensitive' (as opposed to, say, a CB antenna that needs 'horizontal visibility', why not mount them on the mirror tops ??
