Look what I spotted a 2008 King Ranch F450 2x4 Crew Cab Dually! I went to the dealership when it was closed. I don't want them to try and sell me the truck although it would be neat to be the very first one to own one. lol I remember seening the spy pics and some of the other pics on serveral site and The head lamps were ugly too me. (something about the DOT new hight requirement) To tell you the truth, there don't look that bad at all. The Super Duty script logo on the passanger dash and the grill don't look that bad either.

I really like those new TT mirrors but they are huge. They apper they can be retrofit on our trucks but I notice the sail panel is a little bulker. I wanted to play with the tail gate but it was lock. I love it, I want it, but the price killed me. I would like to know how much a non-dually would go for. Maybe a new front end update for my excursion lol Only dreaming










I have a few more picture here http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/registry/6773/54940

I've decided that Xochi was in cahoots with the gas stations to rid me of my bank account. I still and love her.

Yah, I like that rig alot. I wanted to go to the Tulsa State fair back in Sept or Oct. Ford sponsored the fair and they had several 2008's. I couldn't make it. But now I got a chance to see it.

Think not. Limited Slip iis standard with either the 4.30 or 4.88 axle. Traction Control is on the option list and says [i]"This system notices when a wheel begins to slip, prevents it from spinning so the vehicle maintains maximum traction.[/i]

Sounds like an ABS based traction control system. (Something I asked for 6 years ago!) Wonder if it works for the front wheels to when in 4WD?

We had a member test the so called "traction control" and he couldn't find any difference in traction ability,it's just another foo foo option
