2008 pre-production model

I was at the Ford dealer in Blair, Nebraska this morning, dropping off the wifes Expedition for some work. I was there waiting for them to open, when I see the service manager pull in in a 2008 F-250 extened cab sb. He said that it was a pre-production model, and the dealership was going to hook up an 18,000 trailer to it tomorrow to see how it pulls. That 6.4 is quiet!! Almost too quiet. I like a little bit of a diesel roar! Still not liking the headlights either! Wish I would have had a camera!

Take a camera when you go back to pickup the Expedition!

Out of curiosity, is that Woodhouse Ford? I almost had to go there for my V-10. They seem like the only one's left who stock the V-10 in any significant quantity.

Yep, it's at woodhouse. It was sitting out in front of the service area this morning. I'll snap a photo this afternoon if it's still there. I bought my 6.0 from them also.

I've been trying to load the pictures for a week now, I can't get them to download. As soon as I figure it out, they'll be here!

Thanks for the pics. It looks great. That must be the sport package? Grille looks nice painted to match body.

Yeah, I'm not sure if that is part of a special package or not. I'll tell you one thing, it is VERY quiet! you can barely tell that it's a diesel standing next to it.

Those rims are nice too. Good to see Ford is changing up the rim styles.

I hadn't noticed the two toned mirror covers before.

Overall, I think it is a pretty good looking truck.

This is an FX4. It has become its own "model" instead of just two stickers and Rancho shocks! It is a trim level now instead of an option.

I like it. I am also glad to see that it looks good in a single rear config. The single that Ford has on it web site looks kind of lame compared to the 450.
