There was a dark blue crew, lariat F-250 with the 6.7L at the Seattle Auto Show, completly opened up, able to sit in it, look under the hood, and everything. My impressions, much better looking in person than in pics, interior is really nice looking, two tone leather, dash is pretty much unchanged, lockable storage was really cool too. The biggest surpise was the middle seat in the front, now has a headrest and shoulder belt. Unfortunatly I didnt get any interior pics that turned out good but here are the pics i did get.

 

I can't wait to test drive one.

 

Hopefully the cab is still easy to lift.........................

 

I cant wait to test drive it also, They sure did bury the turbo.

 

No more cab off repairs, Part of the new design.

 

I believe what Ford actually said was "cab on serviceability", there was no claim that I am aware of that there would be "no more cab off repairs".
Looking at the pictures suggests it still might be easier to raise the cab for some operations.

 

Will be interesting to see how the new air-water-air intercooler system that the 6.7 is supposed to have is going perform

 

Is that not pretty much the same thing?

No, I don't think claiming "cab on serviceability" is the same as claiming "no more cab off repairs".
I take it to mean that some of the procedures on the 6.4 that required lifting the cab will be able to be performed on the 6.7 without lifting the cab.

 

Just saw one at the Motor Trend car show in Orlando, FL. The floor people kept it locked, but someone had their electric door key and unlock it. The hood had been raised and I able to see the engine. It had a 5.4, by the stickers. The new interior was nice. The floor people ran over and locked the truck back up, when they saw people checking the interior out. They were pushing the 2010 F250/350 hot and heavy, before the 2011 come out.

 

That monster looks like a nightmare to work on.

 

As soon as they come, ill be at the Ford dealer taking one for a spin

I also agreed with cowmilker, I cant even see the turbo

 

I was hoping the new motor would at least look cool- instead it looks like an even worse plumbing nightmare than the Duramax...

I will admit, the technology is pretty cool. But the finished product looks like a mess. Oh well, maybe it will perform flawlessly and nothing will go wrong with all of that plumbing. At least I don't see factory zip-ties suspending the heater hose over the valve cover like my 6.0. That was impressive Ford engineering!

Thank you for posting your photographs.

Interesting how they don't put the sticker on the passenger side valve cover yet that indicates engine ratings as they do on all other previous builds. Smart move.
