I read the article and if you were pulling a 5th wheel over 34' long it would really be something to consider buying.

I'd consider buying it just to drive to the mall but the $55K sticker price kinda turns my stomach!

I saw the new F450 'pickup' at the Tulsa fair last Saturday.

blah, you can have it.

Guess Ford was afraid that people wouldn't know what kind of truck it is, so they stamped "SUPERDUTY" in the front grille, tailgate, fender vents (what the hell are those for anyway?), dash, window tint and probably a few more places that I couldn't see.

Do those fender vents actually work or are they just plastic grill looking things?

They actually work. They really vent hot air out of the engine compartment.

cab forward design puts about 2/3's of the motor under the cowling so they needed a way to vent out the heat, ugly along with dumb imm. makes me say i'll keep my paid for 05.
