One thing I really hope they DON'T do is drop the SuperCab and turn it into a 4 door like the Dodge. If I want 4 doors I'll get a CrewCab. I want a truck with the extra room that a SuperCab has but I want it to look like a 2 door.
I wish they'd make them easier to work on. Ever try replacing the belt on a 6.0?

Improvements /

1. Lighting that doesn't exist (door and glove box)
2. Electric or air Lockers from the factory.
3. Rear window that goes up and down
4. More options and/or factory accessories.

This is a good thread guys, keep going.
Hopefully some people may be listening!!!

I would be expecting to see a lot more options in 07...
Rear DVD screens, sun roof (is this an option already in the US?)
I am sure the list could go on.

How about a flip up hood like the Big Rigs got. Then it would be easier to work on the motor.

OK, OK, pure specu-dreamin' here, but....... I'd like to see a "workingman's F350", heck I'd pay what they ask for the King Ranch to be able to custom-order the way you could back years ago, instead of the "package deals" of today.
Mine HAS to be a 4x4, and I expect two things: a solid front axle, and a stick I can grab onto to stir my T-case. I'd love to see a 9 or 10 foot box available, even on a crew-cab (if a limo conversion company can make a 20 foot wheelbase Expedition, Ford can build me a crewcab with a 10 foot box). The factory highboy setup would be nice, but I can live without 20" bling wheels. Give me an aggressive tire on 16" steel rims, that looks like it belongs under the truck, or at least extend the wheelwells so I can put bigger tires on it without spending a fortune on a sick lift kit. Make the plain halogen H6054 sealed beam headlights readily available, and ditch the plastic Tonka truck grille. I'd like three receivers factory installed (2" on the front and rear, and a gooseneck in the bed, with appropriate 7-way plugs for the rear and the gooseneck) A heavy cable to the front and rear receivers for 12V winch power, too. You could even set them up to plug in a set of booster cables (included with the jack stowage hoo-ha)
I like the power rear window idea, too! Inside, let me have a washable interior. I'm talking pressure washer-proof. I can live without 12 different climate zones, and a bell reminding me that the seat belt isnt hooked up. I don't need leather seats and four cup-holders, either. The air-bag keyswitch should also control ALL the bags, not just the passenger! Let's get back to the bedside toolbox from the Camper Special era while we're at it, dang are those neat and handy! As long as it doesn't take too much fuel capacity away from the twin saddle-tanks and the optional aft-of-the-axle tank. (It may cost $200 to fuel it up, but you could drive forEVER between stops......) For the crew-cab option, how about easily-removable rear seats? I don't always need to cart 5 other guys around, but it would be nice to have the covered (and lockable) cargo space available to me. Air brakes (with an onboard compressor rugged enough to run a few air tools) would be awfully slick on this beast, too!
Finally, keep the V10 and stick shift option, and as for the diesels, how about engineering them with biodiesel in mind?

I wholeheartedly agree with you...

Am a Big fan of the optional larger tanks...
While we are there how about some airbags for the rear axle?
An optional slide out cabinet that goes in place of the rear seat (for those that don't carry 5 people), allowing you to lock tools etc. in there would be great.

I would like that air compressor to be able to change the tyre pressures on the fly (ala a Hummer), so when I get off soft country I don't have to spend 30 minutes outside the vehicle (usually in 110F+ heat) blowing up all the tyres.

I admit though, us 2 are probably in the minority though.
They will sell 1 of our trucks for 1000 PSD 4x4 CC Lariats...

Also, I would love to get the CAT engine out of the F650 mated with the 6-speed in a F350.

I, like you would be willing to pay big $$$ to get a vehicle like this.

-Gooseneck Box Option for Bed
-12V Outlets in rear of cab
-Prewiring package for CB
-Prerun wiring for dome light for Caps (just like they do for 3rd brakelight)
-Find a way to build a diesel that will pass emissions without EGR
- Bigger fuel tank option or dual tank option from factory
- Inverter / 110V Electrical Outlet
- Put a real Trans Temp Gauge in the Dash
- Pyrometer Gauge from the factory

That'll be a good start.

Trailer plug in bed. Radio that goes to next preset instead of next station.

I agree. I love my supercab. My dad has a 04' dodge quad cab. Today was the first time I got in the back. It has no more room than my supercab does, and is a whole lot harder to get into with the low roof height and the door opening only half way. Not fully open like the super duty.

Better watch out. There may be some dodge guys lurking about. They will fight to the death over the "room" in the back of their quad-cab, lol.

No prob BigF350, I'm surprised it's not an option. You guys have some pretty cool engines, but no sunroof?

We still get the 7.3l PSD, no 6.0l in sight. We get the 5.4 in a couple of 4x2 variants. No V10 either.
Our sales are predominately the following (almost all are working vehicles)

F250 or 350
Regular or Supercab
XL Trim
4x4
7.3l - 6 speed
Box Delete - for fitment of own tray.
Most vehicles come equipped with a "Roo Bar".

We can't even get lariat trim (XL or XLT for us) so not really surprising we can't get a sunroof.
