Kind of wondering what happened to the initial strong dealer demand?
THAT was the entire reason for this thread. They do advertise, but not very much, and not really specifically about the EcoDiesel. At least not around here. My old F150 is forcing me into the market, and I was really intrigued with this high mpg wonder. They don't seem to be showing much pride in it though, and that makes me curious. I already know I would end up a little over the GVWR on occasion, which doesn't bother me, but I'm having troubles feeling the love, and am once again looking at the F150s with the higher GVWR.
You guys do know they just started hitting the dealer lots two weeks ago right? There are ten or so in my area most white loaded up Outdoorsman and one decked out Limited.
I'm kinda happy that they are having logistic issues getting the engines from Italy, maybe it will light a fire under Fiat's backside to get the second Dundee Plant tooled up to build them. It was put on hold until they got a feel for what the demand would really be.

Maybe they should have went with the 5.0L CTD.
That would have been the ideal engine for the 1500 Megacab, which was on the 2500 platform. I think payload would be down to 300 - 400 lbs on the current 1500.
