On the sides of the bed like the current truck? Think they are getting rid of them.Any shots of the in-bed storage boxes?
I hope so. The front looks too much like a GMC/Chevy (grille that is) and the rest follows the F150 platinum.I hear the gas model might get a "sportier" appearance with a better front end. Guess we'll see.
And the Aisin should be a good match along with beefed up chassis and axles. One thing that I would have liked included is a 8'bed XD King cab,but I can see why they went with the crew/6.5' to suit the weekend travelers.Couldn't care less about the truck, I am very interested to see how the V8 Cummins fares though. 555 ft/lb of torque at 1600 RPM sounds very nice indeed.
Should've gone with an I-6 from Cummins.... I've never like a diesel that was a V-pattern...I wasn't sure about the truck months ago when I saw it for the first time, but it's growing on me. Those complaining about the huge front end: It's that way to fit all the accessories required for running the diesel engine. I hear the smaller wheelbase, V8/V6 truck will have a slightly different front end and will be "sportier".

The Inline 6 they used in dodge did it better though...
I too am interested though how the V8 is.
Oh, I agree. Personally, I think the inline 6, 12 Valve Cummins is the best engine of all time. I have over 400K on mine and all I've done are oil & filter changes, a water pump, starter, alternator and voltage regulator. All while getting up to 25mpg in a dually.
I would've loved to see an inline 4 put into these smaller trucks. An inline engine makes more sense for a diesel truck and I feel they are much easier to service as well because they generally aren't packed in as tight.
