Great News- V10 lives on in '08
The V10 will be available for 2008. Good to see Ford hasn't given up on this great motor.

Thanks so much! Now I am not bummed out for missing the 07 order banks
Economy and fuel prices had me on the fence all year
well that is a lie, I was not on the fence my wife had forbade a new truck purchase,... now I have time to work on her some more (the new truck will be for her)

SWEET! Thanks kanertop!!!
Now I guess we have OFFICIAL WORD that the ugly headlights are real
Fred, did the DRW F350's always have hyrdro-boost brakes, or is that something new?

As far as I know/knew the hydro boost was usually a requirement on the PSD powered DRW F350 to F750 series
I had two 01 PSD SRW without it, and a V10 F350 DRW also without it
so I always just assumed it was a heavy diesel DRW thing... now not too sure of my facts and gonna look it up on Sunrise Fords site.... they have the order guides from 01 to present posted

If some one can get the "photos" link to work in Kanertops provided link I would appreciate seeing other angle of this truck
I too do not like the 08 head light and first thing would be to retro fit my 05 style that I love
Is it just a bad angle or does the front door start right at the edge of the wheel well and the front clip is shorter now front the "A" Pillar to the front bumper.....
wonder, if this is true if they screw up the balance on the 08...
My 05 wheel base at 172 inches and the 4 door long bed combo handle about like any sports car for acceleration and cornering... I hat to think the made it back into a light assed pickup truck again
just thinking out loud based on the one picture

Wow, an F-450 pickup will be made available too. I am glad they are keeping the V10, great move. Now, I just hope we can get it in New York!
I wanted an '07 but maybe I should wait now. The new interior sounds appealing and some of the new colors as well.

The only thing I don't like on my '99 SD V10 is the big ugly plastic dash. This dash looks beautiful, functional, and truck like. I may have start saving for my '08 V10 Superduty. The only problem is my old truck still runs and looks like new.

Did any one notice in the motor picture that the front grill is missing...does it lift with the hood... not sure how I feel about that idea.... most dummies at oil change time will manage to smash the radiator fins in or ram a tool chest into the delicate thing... that inter cooler for the diesel looks bigger too
Now that I see what they did making the head lights lower it makes sense and I guess I can get used to it as well as the uglier squarish tow mirrors..
I really like the interior and dash lay out but the steering wheel looks funky.. I like my 05 better
