Re: Changes to December forward trucks?

Yep, looks like cost cutting items to me. So far it's just nickel and dime stuff, most you can upgrade yourself if you really wanted to, but it still kinda sucks. If Ford starts cutting corners on the meat and potatoes of the truck like power train, frame and suspension stuff, I would have a major problem with that. But courtesy reflector instead of lights, single sunvisor instead of dual, not a big deal to me. Vinyl instead of leather, not to crazy about that, but I'm not going to run out and cancel my order.

I read somewhere the Ford was looking to save a few hundred dollars on the production of the F-150. Looks like they are trying to do the same on Super Duties too.

That's why they put little statements like "specification can change without prior notice" in the fine print.
