I have a center console.

There is a center console in the Lariat trim with dual leather captain's chairs, maybe that's what was confusing the guy.

I bought a used GMC 1500 from a saleman one time and I knew 100% more about the vehicle than him, and I usually only follow keep up with changes to FORD's, I asked him what was up with his lack of knowledge and he replied I was a carpenter last week. Also these guys jump around alot. Dont get me wrong there are good knowlegable sales people out there but I havent run into to many of them ..

on a side note , got rid of the GMC after about a year because it was the biggest piece of crap I ever owned, went back to fords and will never deviate again.

Considering that no informaiton has been released concerning the next engine, this forum section may be premature. Do we really need a space to post idle gossip?

PS: I heard the next engine is a GM-Isuzu.

Sure. Why not?

If you are not into idle gossip. Don't pay any attention to this forum. Pretty simple.

In addition to having a little idle gossip fun, we have provided some information that hopefully supports our recreational ponderings. Gossip, as it were, from reportedly reliable sources.

You know, in addition to being a technical site I believe it is still an enthusiasts site.

So hopefully there is no foul in being openly enthusiastic about the next generation of Ford diesel.

So what, if we are making educated guesses and why is that a problem for some?

Mike, you won't see me repeating idle gossip. I don't like to type the same sentences twice.

Well, the November order date might be right. Last night I was talking with my girlfriend's dad, who works for Ford, and he told me that a new ford diesel is in production and the 07 superduty will start production in december. He wouldn't give me any details about either and I couldn't tell if he knew what he was talking about or not. So take it as what you will.
