ON the contrary the bumpers are actually metal and the grille may look great but it is actually not all just plastic.

One more question Zack, which gear ratio for all around use and gas mileage on the 6.2 gas in a SuprDuty,3.55 or 3.73. Common sense says 3.55 for mileage but I have seen instances where a slightly lower gear helped mileage.The new 6-speed transmission may have significant bearing on this.Order goes in 3-4-10….
Thank You

Hello Zack, I just placed my order for a 2011 F250 Lariat.I understand the interior is two-toned.I hope it is only a slight variation and not radical.I ordered the black interior. I also included the Lariat Interior package . I know the mileage on the 6.2 2V gas is unpublished (I have a lot of faith in Ford Motor Co.) but I sincerely believe your statements about it being better than the 5.4, and more powerful.The 18 inch wheels say cast , I’m not sure if that means a flat finish or shiny(hate to pay out for more wheels if these are attractive) Have not seen pictures to verify interior or wheels.I guess it is all on faith at this point..
Thank You.

I’m trying to be optomistic. I own a 2006 F-250 with the 6.0 liter engine and I must say that I am not very happy with Ford. I love the truck with the exception of the engine. I am trying to stay loyal to Ford and I have huge expections for this new truck and engine. Ford should have done the right thing and warranty the trucks with the 6.0 liter for 200,000 miles. I’m stuck with my 2006 until 2012. When this one is paid off, then i’m going to give them another chance and buy a new one. I hope you guy’s test the heck out of this truck because if you don’t, it will be the end of the Super Duty.

I have purchased 3 F serires trucks over the past 6 years, F-250 Crewcab short bed, F-350 Crewcab Long bed 4×4 and the latest is a F-550 crewcab long bed 4×4 Roll along. I have been a loyal ford customer all my life. I’m not very happy with my F-550 and the performance of the 6.0.

Is there any chance to get to try a demo of the F-450 crew cab dually with the 6.7? I’m ready to trade in my F-550 right now.

Thanks

I am switching from being a bow tie to a blue Ford person. Reasons not important at this time however the truck that I pay for is very relevant. I am looking at the 2010 F-450 I like the looks and the interior, the Fuel milage when I test drove it was only 9.6 MPG. is this usual? expected?

I have a few questions ,
1) will the fuel milage improve when the engine gets broke in, or

2) should I wait for the 2011 , with its upgrades suposidly in MPH and other areas

Remember that I really know nothing about Ford trucks or engines other than what I have researched.

3) will I be dissapointed with the 2010 f-450 ,, just looking for an honest answer from some on on Ford team or some owners.

4) is there something wrong with the transmission in the 2010 f-450?? or is it strong enough to tow what it said it will?
Thanks

New 2011 SD sounds good, I really want to see the mileage before buying one. My 05 SD 6.0 has been trouble free, but I need better milliage when pulling my horse trailer. Have to go along with others , my 7.3 was the best in mileage, I would expect beating the 7.3 was the goal.

Question… Any chance we might see the 4.0 liter Rover diesel in the F150? I heard it might happen so I have been holding off on replacing 2 F150’s

I don’t care where you build the new diesel, just as long as you build it right, The Mexico plant in Hermacillo had some of the highest quality in the company from what I heard. Romeo does great work too, they built the engine for my 05 GT and it has been perfect!

Keep up the good work,!

I hope there is a way of “special ordering” a full manual transmission. I, don’t need the fancy auxilliary speed control devises. I don’t want to buy another automatic either, too boring to drive. Ford should still offer it and not force everyone towards an automatic.
