Really cool F250
Tell me what you guys think of this,
New style F150 version.
Full floating 7 lug rear axle.
SLA front end with torsion bar suspension.(2wd or 4x4)
4 leaf rear susp over solid axle
10" rear differential.
5.4L 3valve v8 engine as standard.
4.9L I6 DIESEL optional. (3,600.00)
NV4500 HD 5speed manual transmission/w creeper as standard
Auto tranny optional with both motors.
New baby Torque shift also optional with diesel.
GVWR 8600Lbs GCWR 16000Lbs
Reg cab 2wd Max Payload; 3500lbs
Reg cab 2wd Max Towing; 10,500lbs(diesel) 9200lbs(gas)
Fixes; Fix the park bench stiffness of the seats.
This would be the new F250 (no LD or SD-just F250 3/4 ton)
Stop producing the 250SD, and give all SRW SD's the F350 designation and 9900Lb GVWR.( almost the same truck now anyway-ever hear of Fords magic dust? Somehow without changing anything but the tires on the F-350SRW and adding a 2" spacer between the rear axle and the spring pack-the truck gets a HUGE payload upgrade)
I for one think that this would address the needs and wants of alot of F150 buyers and SD buyers at the same time-it would certainly bridge the huge gap between the two models so as to better address some peoples needs.
Plus it would allow those who want a manual transmission with the new body style to get their fix, the NV4500 is also a much heavier duty trans than the M5od could ever hope to be anyway.
What do you think guys? Would any of you consider buying this truck?

I just ordered the F-150 standard cab with the payload package up grade and 4.10 ls rearend and 5.4/3v motor. Ford has most of what you want except the diesel and heavy trans.
And yes that would suit my needs. "What you described"
