2008 superduty

I went to the agribition here in Regina today. Ford had two new 2008 superduty's there. A f-350 supercab FX4 with a V10 and a f-450 supercrew king ranch with the 6.4l twin turbo. That f-450 is a big truck and the 6.4l is sure crammed in there. They are very nice trucks, I wonder what they are going to be priced at?

hard to say except that it will be lots. There are some pictures of these trucks on FTE forums and they do look good.

i wouldnt be surprised if those new diesels, for a nicer crewcab, start at something like $60 000. i was playing around with the build and price, a straight cab, long box 4x4 6.0 with a stick and XLT trim was as much as our 2002 Lariat crewcab diesel brandnew. the prices have just kept going up and up it seems.

did the 450 have a box that was more of a regular pickup style or was it a fancy deck of sorts?

6.4? That must be a gasser. I thought the new diesel was supposed to be a 6.8.
Either way, twin turbos is pretty cool!!!!!

Naw, the 6.4 is a diesel...Check it out in the 2008 6.4L Power Stroke Diesel forum. The way Ford/IH is playing around with engines it`s hard to keep track.

i dunno, our 02 just hit 100 000 and dad doesnt want to go along with my idea of parking it. but if the motor ever goes bad, weve got a brand new cummins with something under like 5000 miles on it sitting in a jimmy just screaming to be put back on the ROAD! so hopefully dont have to worry about buying one of these new diesels for a long long time


i forgot, i had been told that the big truck factories are completely backed up with guys ordering 07's so as too make it a bit further without one of these new emmissions beaten motors

The F-450 had a normal truck box, like you would see on a one-ton dually. The interior was a lot like the f-150's. A more squared off look. The new 6.4l diesel has 350hp and 650 ftlbs of torque. The two turbos are in series, a smaller one to spool up faster at low rpm and a larger one for higher rpm's.

Hey there Pyro, it has been done and successfully too. Ask around on the diesel forum. There's more than a few guys out there that would like to put a Cummins in there Ford. I read about one the other day with a twin sequential turbo set up that puts out 945 ponnies! It was in Dieselpower magazine. Look it up online if you want to check it out.
