To achieve the perfection Ford engineers sought, they racked up 10 million miles on the test tracks, on the dyno, and on the streets in real-world circumstances.

When I read articles like this one a blog site, I rarely read any of the comments. The posters are usually the types with an axe to grind or just plain clueless idiots. I don't waste my time trying to find the rare bits of good information.

Yeah, I have this bad habit of reading them just to see what kind of stupid crap some people say. This one just seemed to be worse than normal.

Usually on forums, the disdain someone has for new products is directly proportional to the number of payments they have left on an older one.

I actually just got back from test driving a brand new F-350 6.4L with my dad. I could not drive it, however . The truck is awesome in every way..from the automatic folding-extending mirors, to the back-step tailgate. The engine sounds like the 6.0L just a bit quieter. The inside is, well, gorgeous (that's my opinion of it). It wasn't really fair to give it some power on the highway, because the thing was still cold and it is around -20 Celcius here. So accel obviously wasn't all there because the larger turbo was not spooling up as fast. The truck we test drove was a black FX4 SRW, short box super-cab. No chrome grille, but nice dark grey fender flares, which really did look great. The truck beside it really turned us off...king ranch with 17" wheels..did not look great, simply because of the (seemingly) tiny wheels on it. Anyway, the superduty lettering stamped on the front and back of the truck is quite nice also. Did not take any pictures though, sorry guys :S
