Better keep that Ford on the pavement. I pulled a loaded Tractor trailer out of our loading dock last winter in the snow with my 2500 Mega Cab, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it!!

Looks cool but really once you get the thing rolling it's not that impressive. I've seen several videos of loaded tractor trailer's that have been pulled by trucks with the C on the side. I admit I'd be excited if I could do that with my new CTD though!

Moving it on the road is easy.

Try doing this.....loaded dump truck stuck in Georgia red clay, ON A SLOPE!

Cummins Power, Baby!

See the Super Duty sitting there......he TRIED to pull it out first and look where that got him....watching from the sidelines.

Yeah, I thought I heard a warning bell going off in the background. What a tool! My Dodge would be pulling that thing at a much greater speed!

Sorry,but what I sea this all new 2011 completely kill Dodge and Chevy leave them behind.Nothing special in Dodge (New) and Chevy ,all what they have Ford have it a couple years ago.But I so like Cummins,the best Diesel,may be this all new Ford 6.7 should be same reliable like Cummins?Who knows...But Ford 6.7 has very serious performance.

A yet untested, in-house built design.

Ford has been playing catch-up in the diesel market since it all started.

They haven't been able to field a reliable diesel since the 7.3.

They finally got the 6.0 right after 4 years and the 6.4 is only making a 2 year run due to the fight with International.

What I see is a hurried to market, gotta save our azz, Super Duty is a staple of Ford life blood, product that is gonna be having issue after issue for AT LEAST 2 years.
