new 08 superduties

Hey guys, since ford just relased all the info on the new superduties for 08 I thought I'd see what yall think.

Here is my take.....
1- Building the F-450 as a factory pickup truck (about friggin time!!!!!)
2- New twin sequential turbos (again, bout friggin time!!)
3- new front grill and headlights (maybee it needs to grow on me)
4- Dual exhaust tips (one word - gay)
5- Fender vents, (either make um more pronounced or ditch them)

BTW, you can see all of ford info on thier website www.fordvehicles.com/trucks/

The turbos are not actually "twins" as one is a low pressure turbo that feeds the high pressure turbo, so they would be "series turbochargers". Catapiller has been using this setup on their Over the road truck engines for several years now.

exactly, CAT calls it series on all thier ACERT engines and Ford/IH call it sequential

Looks great to me! I don't know about the headlights but I love everything else. I'll take the 450.
