I don't have pic's but I stopped next to the 08 450 turning on the strip today about an hour ago, the guy driving said it was running really good, 10K miles on it, it was black, looked really good.
I asked if the 6.4 was gonna be better than the 7.3, he just shrugged and the light changed, never saw it again. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Looks to me like its going to have the same suspension setup on it as the current trucks.... good news is there are ton of different lift kits available for it already!

Found it parked off in a corner behind an outdoor offroad course (that TRD/Toyota was using for their FJs and also some rock crawler buggies). The thing in the back is a folding handhold to go along with some folding steps that pop out of the tailgate protector. Ford guy nearby talked about the new engine & such, but no hood lifting. Not even sure if it was technically "on display" or not.
I can see now, the tailgate will be rusting out very quickly due to road salt getting into the step storage area. It might look like a good idea on paper, but not in the snow belt.
And what's with the tailpipe? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

I didn't think about salt. It's a good concept until the big man (woman) breaks it and knocks his teeth out as his jaw hits the tailgate.

MY tailgate came off this weekend, on the 00'. has done so for all the years I've had it. It'll go back on in the spring.
