They should all come with as big of a tank as they can stuff under there.
Why any of them sell a full sized truck with less than a 30 gallon tank I'll never know. I guess they don't want you toting around that extra hundred pounds of fuel and bitching about mileage.

Because they're the best looking trucks on the road

Last I remembered when I looked into them years ago any dealership can reprogram the ECU for the added capacity to make the Miles to Empty function work properly with the extra capacity.

This looks a whole lot like a Ram 2500.
Truck looks good overall. Interior is kind of meh compared to the previous model though.

I like those vertical cowl vents.
The dash layout looks more car-like and I don't like how they moved the screen down a bit in the center stack.

I feel like my MPG did drop a bit and then I realized I do haul around chain, jacks, tools, etc.
Gotta be at least 100-150#.

I have a 55gal Titan on my truck, and the gauge doesn't know what is going on. It'll read that I have 185 miles to empty from full to half. During that time, I have already driven 200-250 miles. It is also much longer, so the gauge itself doesn't read correctly. The gauge could be reading empty, but I've still got 5 gallons in it.
Doesn't really bother me though. Not stopping all of the time makes up for it

Agree.
I think if I was gonna keep this truck, I'd add the tank.

I easily have 300 pounds of extra shite in my truck. A few more hundred of fuel won't hurt.

You still running around with that ol gal from down the bayou?
I will say, for a big girl, she don't sweat much.

Nice.

looks nice and 17 will be when I replace my current truck
it will be hard to decide between one of those and a High Country Duramax

Grill looks like a grill... Like a grill...

The dealer can reprogram the computer to work with the Titan tank.
FWIW I like the new truck. My 2013 Lariat is paid for though and I don't drive it all the time any more so that much of an upgrade might not make sense right away.
I like the interior upgrades and hope it has the full glass roof of the 150. I hope they don't overemphasize the "PLATINUM" that was kind of overdone B4 IMO.
I am wondering since it is a pre production model and the seats in the KR above are the same as the 150 if that will change a bit once we get closer to production.
One thing I have always liked about the fords was all the different models and colors (especially with the 2 tone) you could get. I hope they don't go to all solid colors in like 5 colors like the GM's

The thing I always really liked about the super duty was that it was the only truck where the larger model was totally different from the half ton. Although the new 150 interior is great I wish the super duty would be a little different.

I saw this and the 2016 Silverado today. I'm not a huge fan of the front end of either the Super Duty or the Silverado, but the rest of them look good IMO. Trucks seem to be getting more outlandish and strange in their styling and it shows in their grill and front end designs more than anywhere else.
Some random thoughts:
-I see no advantage over aluminum that justify paying extra for it. I'm not against it, but I won't pay extra for it.
-I think HD trucks need a smaller, less powerful, more efficient 4.5-5.0 Liter diesels that are more appropriately matched for probably 90% of their customers than the massive new Powerstroke, Duramax, and Cummins engines currently offered.
-I don't trust Ford diesels, but I hear they may have finally produced acceptable product in the 6.7L. I like that they are offering decent gas V8 and V10 motors as an alternative for those of us who won't touch a Powerstroke
- The mid and lower end trim levels of the Super Duty has a nicer looking grill than the higher end models.

I like two tone trucks. They are getting more and more difficult to find.

The 5.0 cummins cut back to about 450 ft-lbs would be a fantastic engine for a 3/4 ton that doesn't get worked extremely hard.
