Anyone shopping the 2011 6.7L Ford Super Duty?

[Scott]

I am not neccessarily shopping right now...although I sure like the interior design and features.

BUT, of course the motor is unproven to the general consumer right now.

Anyone pick one up yet?

If business was better, I would have one sitting in my driveway, no questions asked. My 08' has been a fantastic truck, and I am certain this one would be as well!

Is there any sitting at the dealers yet?? I have not seen any.

There was one at the dealer here in Idaho Falls I was looking at on Saturday.

I saw a King Ranch at Bitterroot Motors in Missoula. MSRP is now hitting $60k for a one ton long box.

Just bought a 2010 Dodge. No need to even look at a Ford, although I did. There is 4 or 5 of th 2011 Fords at the dealer here. Boy they are about 15 shades of ugly. The grill is absolutely hideous in fact the whole front end is. I do like the fact that they got rid of the 2 butt ugly vents in the front fenders and are now smaller and less obtrusive. What is up with that fuel door? It is big enough for a fifth passenger door. I assume that is because the UREA fill cap is in there also, seems like Ford could have come up with something better than that. I didn't even look at the interior because it has not changed much and I didn't like the interior looks of the 05's and up. All and all I love the new Dodge and am happy to have one.

Yeah, no kidding. LOL

Forgot to mention the fact that this is Fords first attempt at building a deisel motor of their own. I'm sure there will be many issues there

That's a very nice looking truck.
Does it have a DODGE engine?

I own an 08 duramax LTZ which i love, however if i could have got a kingranch for the same price, i'd be driving a ford. you can't beat the headroom and space in the rear seat. i hated the older style fords around 05 06, but these past few years they look top notch. i looked at the 2011 ford and they look great. Oh and i have an 06 cummins for a company truck. the only nice thing about it is the fuel aconomy. their tranys are crap, the room in the rear seating is pethetic, and they have been carrying that basically same body style for how long now, besides slanting the grill and a little different headlights, woohoo.

THANKS!
Up until this year has Ford used their own engine? Dodge and Cummins have been a part of each other almost since each others beginnings, look it up.

And Gibbsons go look at a 2010 Dodge crew cab, I am not talking the Mega cab. It is now a full crew just klike Ford or GM no more Quad cab and the body styling is way differant than the o3's to 09's were. The HD does not have the tilted grill and the interior is 100% improved over the 09's and older. I will agree prior to this year Dodge was lacking in the interior department over Ford or Chevy, not anumore, but gave up nothing to either with the rest of the truck. You also said that the styling is the same, what about Ford? My brother in law has a 01 Ford, you put it side by side with an 10 and the bodies look the same except for the head lights and turn signals which are just reversed. You put an 01 Dodge beside a 2010 Dodge and it is 2 completly differant trucks. If you can't see that you must be blinded by them ugly square fender wells on your Chevy There have been 2 other makeovers of the Dodge since 01 and it was more than just the headlights.

I used to be a Dodge guy....a loyal Dodge guy.
In fact I've only bought 3 brand new vehicles in my life, all dodge pick-ups.

In my opinion they are as nice as any when new, but as the miles rack up on them.....
The front end gets sloppy,
The wind noise gets bad,
The body gets rusty,
The interior shows wear, all at a faster rate than GM or or Ford.
On the V10 & diesel the torque converter starts to go causing premature tranny failure.

Hopefully the '09 & newer have addressed many of these shortcomings, I don't know, but I honestly feel they will continue to be a half step behind GM & Ford.

I now tend to buy high milers for my personal vehicles (100,000 plus), that way I can drive a newer rig at less cost.
With a GM or Ford a 100,000 mile truck is still a very nice truck.
I just don't feel the same about a Dodge.

 

[stay tuned]

Dodge has made a lot of improvements. But check out the resale value on each of the trucks. A brown Dodge will be a little hard to sell.

You think the New Dodge looks nice?

This statement make me wounder. Do homely people think homely people are cute or do they just settle because they can not land a Hot Babe.

Just one to think On.

ugly square fenders,now your just being mean. You my friend have a severe case of CATARACTS. Hey did you get that compartment on the top of your rear fender to keep your purse? Because you could probably use your center console for it.

Ha ha ha.. I don't know, IMO, with prices and amenities these days, there sure isn't much "truck" in trucks from the big three. I am just glad people that buy these things have heated seats so they stay warm sipping their latte's. lol

 

[Gibsons]

lol. how true. you have to love the heated seats. I think you can even get them with air now.

Went to a car show today at the local ford dealer to see my cousins Super Snake (795hp!!!) and they had a new 2011 sitting there idling.

HOLY CRAP THEY ARE QUIET!!!!

I didn't even know it was running until I walked around to the front.
Amazing.


OH, BTW, here are the Super Snake pics.
And yes, his display boards are not updated...they say 725hp. But he put a smaller pulley on the super charger. It's 795hp.
It sounds unreal too.
I think he said it's been to Shelby's twice in Las Vegas and there is nothing else they can do to it. It's loaded as far as Shelby can load it. LOL
BTW, this is over a $100k car now.
