At least he came out and admitted his mistake. That should count for something IMHO...

Heh. No worries. I deserved some grief for that article.

FWIW, I think we're extremely close on the 'Raptor' info to what's going on there. But that doesn't mean that truck will reach production.

I got everything in that article on my Job 2 truck that was delivered in December 07. Didn't get the over large Ford emblem, that's good.

3.73 limited slip, I ordered
Extra large front spoiler, Ford ordered..lol

I guess I could call my 08 HD a 09 HD. Thanks Ford, I get another year of higher resale value.

At least Ford is trying to please everyone.

I went back through pictures I took at Ford's Proving Grounds in late October.

The F-350 in the pea gravel pit has the deeper air dam.

These F-250s we took mudding don't.

They were all Job 2 trucks. The big Job 2 change was the addition of the widetrack monobeam front suspension to the F-350.

Hmmmm...after taking another look at these pictures, it looks like Ford removed the air dams on the F-250s that went mudding at the Romeo Proving Grounds. My guess why is so the spoilers wouldn't be ripped off.
