I know alot of you who are interested in the '08's do not read the general SD section, so I decided to post it here too.

That is awesome. Makes me even more happy that Im waiting to get an 09. The backup camera and tire pressure system are two options that Im really glad to see.
I bet alot of folks are going to be glad to see the backup camera as an option.
I wonder how much its going to be optioned at?

 

Wow, I am loving that list. Im glad you can get the Powerscope Mirrors on the XLT. Also, I am glad that the TPMS is a standard option now. Thats great.

 

Great information! Are there any images of the grill being used in the new chrome package?

 

AWESOME!!!!

Glad I waited to order as this is exactly what I was looking for. The SuperDuty just got better

The Chrome Package would look awesome on this truck.

That is some nice new features

 

The only thing I want is the powerscope mirrors on my 2008 xlt. I ordered mine 5-16-07 and it just arrived 6-25-07. Wonder if I can add the pwerscope mirrors to my truck. The switch panel is easy to swap but is the wiring there I wonder?

 

I dont see why they wouldnt be able to retrofit those onto your truck.

 

I will be pissed if this new grill changes the looks of the truck...Two different looks for the same year model?

 

What about the wider front axle like the 450 has?

 

TPMS would be nice also

 

Someone had said earlier that when July comes and they start with Job2, they also make any technical tweaks they feel are necessary to address any issues that have shown up during the initial 6 months launch that weren't severe enough for a recall like the flaming tail pipes. Does anybody out there know what changes are coming to the standard offering (Not equipment options like mentioned already above)?

 

I suppose the tire monitor would be OK if it works better than the GM system that throws us technicians under the bus every day....I don't think that the General even knows how their system works.
