Exclamation New SE F-350 coming to showrooms soon

This is the BIGFOOT series truck set to replace the Harley as the special edition. These pics are from Bob Chandler himself.
Everything but the Lambo doors and flames will be STOCK.
I used to work for Bigfoot. (visit my site for pics fromw hen I worked there www.geocities.com/svtbird1997 )
This truck is a few years away.

Wow that may be one of the ugliest thing I have ever seen. I think it is due to the color, the ridiculous bumper (at least add a grill guard) and the god awful roll bar.
Just one man's opinion though.

Being a bigfoot fan, I would probably have to trade in my 04 when that came out As long as they do loose the lambo doors (and maybe something with the front bumper).

I am sure that truck could be really cool....I think they just (in that pic or that demo) went overboard. I understand the purpose of the bumper, it just looks awkward.
I may have been a little dramatic when I said it was the ugliest thing ever. It has potential.
I guess absent the roll bar, and some change to the frotn bumper, it could be a really tight truck....as long as it is still functional and capable.
And for the record, that bumper is not needed to integrate a winch in it. It could easily be deisigned differently looking less awkward and serve the same function. Honestly I think if they added a grill guard to that exact bumper it would look ten times better.
Again, these are just opinions, I don;t fault anyone for thinking differently.

What does that SE designation represent? SUPER EXPENSIVE?

I tell you what you should do, just give us a truck with 4" over stock suspension lift, 35" wheels, cable actuated lockers front and rear, and +60 HP and +150 TQ over stock. That would sell more than the truck pictured above this post.

Extreme Off-Road Prototype To gauge interest in a Super Duty extreme off-road package (a Dodge Power Wagon-fighter?), Ford engineers showed us this “Hoss Edition” FX4 truck. The Trail Ready bumper was reworked to fit the new ’05 grille and still provide a mount for the Warn winch and auxiliary lights. A wraparound rear bumper was made in-house to protect the back of the truck and allow for Hi-Lift jacking points. There was even a set of 35-inch tires on stock 17-inch wheels that are reported to fit without a lift kit. Upon closer inspection we found front and rear Electrac selectable lockers (4.30 axle gears) and some hidden rocker-panel reinforcements.

How serious is Ford about this package? We’d say very, after hearing stories that Ford sent the previous version of this truck to Tellico for testing (the fourth version is seen here). We’ve got to believe this truck will see production in some form by 2006—maybe even under the Bigfoot name.


That link will show you a pic of the "hoss" or "bigfoot" production looking truck.

I don't believe it. BUT I think it's really cool. I don't think I'll have the $$$ for it, but I wish I did. I don't see a production truck with a winch. That's at least $1000 that 1% will actually use. I don't see a production truck coming with a 4" lift but it would be really cool. Time will tell I guess.

Looks like they want to try and compete w/the Dodge Power Wagon.
