I sure like this new truck and I'm glad Ford didn't go crazy with the design.

They did, it is called a F250/F350!


The bad thing about that are the gas engine options if you only need to use the max payload or tow rating just a few times a year. It would suck to have to go from 17-18 mpg combined in a 3.5L Ecoboost to 12-14 mpg combined in a 7.3L all year round just to tow 10-11k a few times a year. If someone towed/hauled that amount of weight several times a year then I can see the need for a F250/350, but not for once or twice a year like many of the guys at my summer RV park do.

I have bought several new Ford trucks in the past. I doubt if I will ever do that again. I still like them but they are just too expensive. They last though, so a used one is fine. I am still driving a 2002 7.3 liter diesel which is the best vehicle I have ever had.

I am still looking for air suspension. At least factory level ride for the rear.

I like the hybrid with generator option but hope that it doesn't take away from rated tow capacity. They mention 12k for the hybrid but the current truck can be configured for 13.2k. Now there need to work on putting max tow and max payload on the same truck so that you handle the tongue weight of the trailer.

Figured it out.

Only $12 for the necessary adapter. I’ve got the cash available for that. Now I’ll have to start saving for the truck!

I’m curious about the built in inverter in the bed of the hybrid. How can a 30 amp travel trailer plug into it? It looks like it has the power to run the AC. That would be a boondockers dream setup.

I also saw that there will be the ability to attach external cameras. That’ll be nice for a backup camera on the trailer.

Nice looking truck, and I agree with your comment on design. The F-150's and the Rams are great looking trucks, however I still get scared every time I see a new HD Chevy. How many uggs are there in ugly?

Good job Ford!

Yep, it looks great as expected. Good job Ford! It truly is pretty tough to go wrong with an F-150.
