I know that lots of people who are considering purchasing a new Super Duty check this site out(just as I did). This is my third super duty. I traded an 06 Lariat diesel for a 2011 Lariat gasser. Here are my likes and dislikes:
1) Motor and tranny seem strong and work well
2) Fuel miliage(good for a large truck)
3) Fit and finish
4) Dash lay-out
5) Outside mirrors...much better view and the mechical adjustments are super
6) Styling(like the new rear new fenders)
7) leather seats inserts
8) information center is cool and informative
9) Dual temp. controls
10) cooled seats
11) plentiful 12 volts outlets
12) improved rear trailer plug

Dislikes:
1) rear sear configuration...I like the 06 better. Seats don't lay flat. I also liked the fold out lower floor shelf on the '06.
2) 40/20/40 front seats(would have perfered the center console but was overruled by wife...grandkids need a place to set up front)

Not sure: rear view camera in rear view mirror.
