OK, so the Diesel Stop beat FTE to it. Here's a link to lots of state fair photos.

Awesome Posted Pictures! Thanks! Anyone know if the suspension and wheel bolt pattern on the 4 x 4 F-250, 350 are the same as they are in 05-07? Exciting stuff!!!

 

Was at the local Ford dealer today...He told me they should be getting the 08's by March. There is a lot of difference in the 450 over the 250/350. They will share "similar"frames thought the 450 frame is stiffer and a fully boxed front secton. But...the 450 has bigger brakes...2 more springs in the rear than the 350 and they are 8 inches longer. The front axel on the 450 is a hybrid useing parts off the Dana 70 and dana 80 axels with a very short turning radius compared to dodge and chevy. The rear axel will be a dana 110 with heavy duty square tubes. Ring and pinion is a 4.88:1 with 19.5 10 bolt wheels. The fender flares are only on the 450 to accomodate the wider exels. The 450 only comes in crew cab XL, XLT, LARIAT trim. Same body demensions as the f-350 crew except a couple inches taller. Curb weight about 8900 lbs compared to 7400 for the 350. O ya..price....no price released yet to the local Ford dealer....BUT....He said the rumor was it will be priced about 2000 to 2500 more than the 350. IT ONLY comes in diesel crew cab. NO V-10...

will we ever get an under the hood shot of the motor???????????? or don't they want you to see that????

 

Durn that's purty !!! Almost enuff purty enuff to trade my X and travel trailer in on one of those and a fifth wheel...Problem is that I'd have to get rid of DW's little white poodle dog and get me a couple of them red hounds to ride in the back..Yeh right as if that's gonna happen,but mebbee I could get the hounds too..

 

The front end reminds me of the movie "family vacation". looks like they copied the front end of the family truckster...yuck!

 

The top button is to turn off the Traction control (labeled TCS)

The bottom button is to turn off the reverse sensors (labeled R delta)

 

Here's a photo that I haven't seen before. This is very different without the bold chrome grill. I'm not sure I like it.

whoa... what did they do to that poor truck. Looks like a mutation between a Ford and a Scion. Most of it is okay, it is just the grill and bumper.

 

Wasn't the painted grilles called monochrome? I thought the silver gasser on the platform was kinda sharp myself.

 

the one with the black grille is straight up absoloutley horrible looking. all the others we've seen(with the big ol' chrome grill) look just plain awesome, but that black grille is just horrible. hard to believe there can be such a difference.

 

Here's the last multi-media that Ford posted around the Texas State Fair. What a blast that must have been.
