Anyone know when this is slated to potentially occur?

 

2005 model year

 

Thank you PS. That made the decision to hold off on a new SD considerably easier. I do appreciate it.

Actually, for 2005 there are only a few cosmetic changes and some power upgrades on current engines. Costemtics are essentially a New Grill and a Revamped Interior.

See http://www.pickuptruck.com/html/2005...ty/caught.html

for some spy shots.

The major redesign is scheduled for the 2007 model year.

And front coil's for 2005. As Penhall said, 2007 should be the "Big" year for the SD, the Expedition should have a new addition, and the Ex. will be but a memory. Well, for anyone that doesn't have one by then.

2005-2008 should be really interesting.....

 

Thanks for that update guys. I really appreciate it.

2007 does tweak my thought process substantially.

 

From pickuptruck.com

"These shots of a freshened 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty show off a beefed up grille, clearly inspired by the Ford Tonka concept truck, and an all-new and much needed interior upgrade to replace the outdated cabin of the current F-350.

Also look for a boost in horsepower and torque figures for the Super Duty's Power Stroke diesel engine."




Clearly inspired by the Tonka? How about clearly inspired by the current SuperDuty because that's all I see. Yeah, slight change to the grill. HELLLOOOOO thats what everyone does in mid-model changes... the change out the grill... 3 horizontal bars instead of 2... make the logo bigger, make the logo smaller, add a honeycomb effect, remove the honeycomb effect...

And higher HP/TQ... yeah no kidding. Especially with Duramax and Cummins figures increasing all the time. Its called the engine HP pissing contest. Big news would be that they are not increasing engine power in the face of competition.

Is this what passes for journalism at that site? They might as well be writing for Motor Trend /R&T / C&D or some other birdcage liner.
