Seems odd. I'm curious.

Looks just like what another HD truck manufacturer has been doing the last few years. Good to see Ford finally chatching up.

Thanks for the share!

I'm glad to see the Twin I beam still in use and being refined after what... 50 years? I think it was introduced in 1966?

Had several trucks with this front suspension and loved every one of them. Simple simple simple.

Thanks!

Where else but RV.net can a thread on a Super Duty turn into a thread on Prius? :)

The a/c was one of the things that concerned me. I didn't realize the a/c could run without the gas engine running. The compressor is electric. Not a fan belt to be had. About every 15 minutes the engine starts to recharge the battery for a few minutes. We do that a lot when DW goes with me on night time calls.

When a body shop here in my hometown told me they had repaired an aluminum F150 and when the replaced the door on it they took the old door and stabbed it with a Butcher Knife and pulled the knife and it ripped like a beer can. I decided to go ahead and order me a loaded down 2016 Lariat F350 DRW PSD. The dealer told me he has 25 on his lot now and is taking his allotment from Ford of 43 more. He scared the price of the 2017 will be too high to sale.

You should hear the stories people tell about my Prius work truck. I can't believe people are that gullible.

YOU HAVE A RARE VEHICLE WITH A PRIUS WORK TRUCK

LOL! Two years ago my bride told me I was spending $7-800 a month in gas for the F250 using it for work at 100~miles a day. I joked with her that I was going to buy a Prius for work. She started looking and wanted one with the Xsp package. Two years later she still loves driving the F250 and I'm getting 53~mpg city with the Prius carrying the same 400~~lbs of tools and parts I carried in the F250. I had to give up the ol' man card but it works well.

They are not a bad car. I rent often for work and have had my share of what ever plural of Prius is. First time I got one was in Florida years ago. Also my first encounter with push button start. I remember getting to the job and could not figure out if I actually turned the car off. I finally gave up and just went in to work. Came out 10 hours later and the car was sitting there all nice and cool because it was running and keeping the AC going all day.
