Super Duty 2

I also like that F450... Man that thing is sweet. I also like that they didn't make the rear fenders one piece with the long fenders that take up the whole side of the bed. :B

Yep, stick with the bolt on fenders just like the 1982 F-350 dually; what innovation! Those are a PIA with grime, wax, etc. getting stuck in the joint plus the fact that they are just downright clunky and look like an afterthought. They do this for cost savings and absolutely nothing else. I do like them better than the current Ford dually fenders though.

Maybe they should have added a third water pump to the 6.7L diesel for good measure! I looked under the hood of another 6.7L Ford at work this week and still can not believe how busy it is under there. Definitely going to be expensive when it comes time for work on it.

I still would take a 2002 F-350 crew cab dually 4x4 Lariat with 7.3L diesel and 6 speed manual transmission in mint condition though!

I have so many hopes for that day...

Amen, brother!

Pollution Emissions won't be changing for the next set of rules. The big change is the CO2 or Carbon output measured in grams/mile. This is basically a fuel economy requirement for all vehicles dependent upon their physical "Footprint". Carbon is a direct measure of fuel burn. That's how the EPA rate fuel economy is through carbon emissions on a dynomometer through a strict series of tests.

Correct and the proposed rules are unlikely to be relaxed, no matter what happens.
In fact they are more like to be "strengthened" then relaxed

Yes they need to pass emissions. They don't have to pass a fuel economy standard but that will soon change.

And we think the emissions equipment is bad now... Wait until 2019...

If that was the case we would not have a DEF system.

Yes they need to pass emissions. They don't have to pass a fuel economy standard but that will soon change.

D'uh... brain fart. I mixed up emissions and fuel economy testing. My bad. They are still keeping the 6.2 liter though, that's good. I thought I had heard somewhere that they were ending production, hence my curiosity. Guess I was wrong about that too...

No big deal....There's been a lot of rumors and speculation about the gas power plants in the new Super Duty. I personally didn't believe the Eco Boost rumors, but thought the 6.2 might get 4 valves/cylinder heads and get a hp bump in the process.

Yep and I'll probably be ready for a new Super Duty by 2018... That's if I can resist the urge. These trucks are sweet! :)

Right now I plan to keep my '12 Super Duty and give it to my son when he gets his drivers license, but I'm concerned about him having 400hp on tap. These trucks are really fast and powerful and you can find yourself in trouble real quick.
