here is a pic of the interior i just found...i dont know if anyone has seen it

 

here is what i like and dislike...

likes-interior, mirrors, larger rims, fender flares

dislikes-front bumper, grille, headlights, that stupid probably non funcional air vent, fog light placement

also are they no longer having the badge on the door that states its a diesel or could that fake looking vent be where it is said...ive seen other shots that dont have that vent looking thing on it so maybe only the diesels will have those...

 

i like it alot.


so what if it's just revamped from the currant model... the 1980 through 1997 pretty much looked the same......

 

Lets hope there is a great aftermarket retro fit to move those headlights where they should be.

 

The vent thing is the only thing that bugs me. Escalades, Land Rovers, and I think a couple of other vehicles I have seen.

What's da deal wit dat?

 

I kind of like the vent if it is real (functional), but I just can't get over those headlights.

 

Yup that was the interior I saw on the test vehicle that was here late last year.

 

I wonder what that big red button is for??????? Knowing me, I'd push it

 

i wonder if they will change the 5-speed to a 6-speed like the others?

 

Hmmm....must be the "EASY" button.

 

You know, it looks better without the camo, but I still like the look of my '06 front end better. Maybe that will change over time. We'll see.

 

I just got the November/December of TruckTrend in the mail yesterday and it has this same truck on the cover. According to them Ford is going to offer the F450 with a bed (Crew Cab only). It still appears to have the 5-speed Torqueshift. They did not have offical horsepower/torque numbers listed. And for those of you wondering if the grille opens with the hood, it does. I suggest getting a copy. I still don't know about the looks yet sometimes I like it other times I don't.

i agree the headlights are awful. but with the grill and bumper they have theres not much else they could do with them. overall its not bad. but like someone said earlier, its more about the new engine than anything else. if its solid, sales will come!

 

and really what is that red button???

 

There was speculation that the button was tied to a data recorder to be used during field testing.
