With lower emmission standards, we probably would

Not to mention the ethanol

With modern engine management, I don't think emissions can really be blamed.

Trucks are heavier and drive like hot rods in 1994 did.

Power numbers seem to sell more than mpg numbers

The trucks look really good...except for those damn mirrors. Look like puppy dog ears or something...I don't know. Just don't look right

I'll probably get the telescoping mirrors again


Gonna be hard to go back now that I'm used to them


I just hope that the big mirrors also have the cameras

There's only a couple of colors that look good with the two-tone caribou accent paint color. I'll likely be looking at either silver or blue jean without the accent color.

I'm not sure ford will ever do better than the 04ish super duty. Those were some fine looking trucks.

I know ppl who are averaging 20mpg plus with the current 3.5 ecoboost. So I don't get how they could go backwards with a lighter truck and more efficient motor.

I would wait until you actually see them on the road to pass judgement. Hence why I do not buy first production run vehicles.

That is rare. We have a fleet of '13's with the 3.5 and 20mpg average isn't heard of

Why are EPA mpg numbers so off of real world driving numbers on these trucks? I bought a small car 7 years ago with epa numbers 33mpg hwy and to this day I still average around 32mpg.

Interesting to see how easy the aluminum body pops back after being hit with a baseball..

They seem to have gotten more accurate in the last few years


I think the EPA changed the tests to make them more like real world numbers

About as well as a beer can does.

I'm assuming they addressed the crumpling up like a beer can issue.
