Anyone else notice the headlights and parking lights are different between these two trucks?

Had a private chat with the owner of the local dealership today. He hasn't heard much more than us, but did fill me in on a couple of things.
* He confirms the torque will be about 600 lb/ft
* Bad thing is he heard a little while ago that there may be another delay due to the engine or something to do with the transmission/drivetrain. It may be old news though since they have announced the Sept 28th date now. Must have been worked out. He said they hated the delays, but were not going to release the truck and have the same headaches as when the 6.0 first came out in 03.
* Other than that he new about the headlights and stuff. Showed him all the pics I had printed off the web. The shots of the interior were the first he had seen. Looks like Ford keeps alot of information back during development, even from the owners of dealerships.

I hope its a little more then 600lb/ft. That tourqe rating isnt even competitive with engines that are out now from the competition, nevermind whats on the horizon. I'm crossing my fingers for around 650-675lb/ft.

Yea but with all the new emissions crap they have to deal with its harder for them to make that power and stay where they have to be emissions wise.... even the new cummins thats 6.7ltr is only putting out what the current one is now

lol I work at a dodge dealer and what we have been told is 350 hp @3000 rpm and 650 lb-ft @ 1500 rpm but we have also been told that they are porbably going to have to cut the torque to 610 615ish because it wasnt meeting all the stupid emissions standards

ok, I'll admit I've haven't been keeping up to the minute information on the Cummins. I won't be surprised if that ends up being the end result.

That would be nice, I have been looking for that option to make it onto a SD for several years now. GM has had SAT radiao available on there full size trucks for over 5 years now. If it is a Sat radio antena its about figgen time Ford got with the program.
