Not sure what you mean by boxy F350 body. It based on the 15+ F150 cab actually.
The 17+ ford superduty is somewhat based on the F150, but but is still a different front and cab. When the 17 superduty is ready, I will most definitely be turning in my 16 ecoboost. The superduty is exactly what i was looking for.

the 2015 f-150 fell in line with the 250, 350, 450, etc with its new boxy front end, henceforth the 2017 raptor now looks like a work truck, not a play truck.
that was my point. and this isn't a super duty thread...

Has anyone herd wheater or not this engine will be premium (91-93) fuel only? I only ask because this is a H.O version of the 3.5 which can run on 87. I would love to own this truck one day but premium fuel only would kill that for me, I hunt out in the middle of no where with no gas above 87 octane around.

I've seen two on the streets (must be demo/prototypes), but no solid HP numbers yet.

the show circuit truck that I saw on Saturday said premium fuel. Hope that's not the case with production. I will be fine if its lower power on less then premium. They had the blue and avalanche grey there. Not a big fan of either. I was going to go with the blue, but its to tame for me. The guy there was not sure if the blue was the finally blue for production . Will have to wait and see. I'm leaning towards ruby red now.
