    Hitch companies that have to make a different hitch base for each truck manufacturer.

    I disagree with you here Chris..
    The hitch companies know this configuration will be around for many years.
    They will race to have hitch developed and be first to market.
    May already have them built?
    Will sell at a premium price at first.

    The consumer will be the loser price wise at first.


    Is it not the same locations as the 2011-2016 model years?

    Hmmm, I like the current DRW fenders. The new ones, to me look like pre 2000 models. What I really like is the section on Technology and all the new cameras, essential in backing up and towing!


    "Transformer" looking rear dually finders? Chris

  • I don't like the way it looks like an F150 now, but the frame redesign is long overdue. I'm sure it'll be a solid truck.

    I'll echo a comment I've made before on the speculation in the article about hitting 1000 lb-ft of torque. The current diesel engines have plenty of power. Plenty. I'd be a lot more impressed if one of the manufacturers left the power alone and made meaningful improvements to fuel economy instead.

  • Love the look of the truck but the dually fenders look like an after thought. GM and Ram fendera are more intergrated looking.
  • Pucks for 5th wheel hitch are still to close together front to back! Big bar(s) in center for grill have given away to air flow to the Rads! Chris
