2007 Superduty

I have done a search on this and can't find too much so I will just ask. Other than a possible larger bore and twin turbo's is there going to be anything different on the body or interior of the truck?

I have wondered about the 2007's also. That is when I would be in the market to replace my 03'. There is alot of articles stating that Ford will further thier ideas on the F350 Tonka concept truck. I am sure that it would be a toned down version of that. I am not sure on the power side of the truck. I would never be in the market for a diesel because I just dont do enough towing to justify the added expense. So my questions are with the gasser engines. I love my V10 and all accounts the 3 valve 05' V10's are great. So I wonder what Ford will do? Keep the V10 with more modifications or go to this "Hurricane" V8 that everone is talking about. But a V8 will never equal the torque of a V10..........two more cylinders adding to the torque numbers.

I like the Tonka comcept body style. You can see a ton of similarities with the current Super Duty. There are some things that they need to tone down to appeal to the core Super Duty owner.

I really don't see why they would do twin turbo's either but I would think that they might keep refining the 6.0 and get some more out of it. I am very curious about the body for the 2007 model. I am looking to replace my 2000 5.4L with a diesel and if you think about it the 2007's are not that far off. If it was something that really floated my boat I could wait and get the new body style. Sure will be a long wait though.

Boxcar,
FYI the Hurricane project was killed by Ford Motor about a month ago.They claim research says the big v-8 popularity is a passing fad and they don't want to spend any more money developing the product. My opinion: A BIG MISTAKE.

As oong as Ford does not kill the V10 I will be happy. I would only get a Super Duty with a V10. Like I stated ealier, a diesel is not a option for me for the lack of towing. The added expense in initial cost, diesel fuel prices, and maintenance costs. I have driven a SD with a V8 and it has NO COMPARISON to the V10. I have a 03' V10 F350 DRW dump truck at work. It is a solid performer but, my V10 in my F250 really screams. So Ford if you are listening............keep my beloved V10!!!!!
