It will be intersting to see what the press has to say about it. It could very well sink the Super Duty if it sucks.
With those dates, the magazines should be getting their hands on NPI ( new Product introduction, read test mule, proto-type) trucks, and publishing firstdrives anytime now.

We will start building them 100% in late January like the original post stated, we have already built 200+ units but none for sale, they have all been mules (proto-types).

I've seen a few on the freeway near Detroit. The new trucks look really good, front end changed a bit for the better.

There is a good many of folks over at RV.net waiting on this truck...

Many are worried about the Urea Injection so much so, that all of a sudden the Dodge 2010 becomes the best option of the trucks.

Don't get me wrong, my blood is a blue as it gets, however, the CTD requires no urea even as the next round of emissions standards are changed...

The Dodges are much better than years past, but again, the reliability of the 6.0, and now the 6.4....folks are scared of the new engine and the cost of it.

I just hope my 2006 6.0 is one of the good ones.

Saw one on the road in Indiana last week..it's looks pretty good. Still like the clean looks of the 05-07 models

Hope this venture works for FORD..cause they are already the best trucks around

That makes two of us.. If I could swing it I would be the first g-pig to try one out. Its understandable to be scared of something new but I've got a feeling this is going to be one nice truck. The saying goes if you want to do something right you have to do it yourself!!. I love my 6.0 but would have one of these in a minute. Can't wait to put one through its paces. The only thing that would make it better if it had a Deere diesel in it

Ford knows that it is under the microscope with this engine! I am sure that quality control will be at it's highest level......

With as much as Ford has riding on this truck, there is no way that this truck will "suck".

I concur Freeky my friend - maybe I'm biased, but Fords offering never have 'sucked' - sure, some probs here and there, but as an overall pkg - Ford rocks

I am very anxious to see how this truck does also. but I know I am going to be tempted to get one and I really dont think i will live through the "discussion" with my wife on trading my truck again. plus since I just moved 7k lbs of dirt in the bed of my 06, I dont think i need to trade it. I love this truck but i know i will be tempted
