Oh noes, a fully boxed frame! Where will all the semi c - channel guys argue now? Just kidding. I knew this would come down the pipe. Good on Ford. They 1 upped the market me thinks.
Also, slick move to use the same cab section as the 150. Still gives it a unique face with the bed and front clip, but realize more economy of scale for the aluminum sections. This will help minimize true price increases due to the aluminum switch.
New frame as I predicted many times, higher to top of bed as I predicted, I have predicted SAE J2807 compliant, I am sure it will follow.
One thing that surprises me it "LOOKS" like the puck system has the same footprint as before. Maybe with the higher rated frame B&W will increase their Ford Puck hitch ratings?
So far it looks like a huge improvement in looks to the 18 year old design.
Awesome, raise the bar everyone benefits!
This is why I don't understand why anyone would order a 2016 when this will be available not too far into the future.
Exterior is OK.It looks like a GM product.
I am always leery of the first production years.
Let someone else be the guinea pigs. I always prefer the last production years which is when all the improvements have been made and all the bugs worked out.
I'll let someone else figure out if Ford has a real winner or a work in progress
You are correct but most don't think that way!
