rumor has it that Ford is upgrading the tailgate warmer with a "dual climate" option!

So Ford is now copying Chevy with the same mirror design. Too bad they wont copy Dodge with the engine.
Ford has been running that style of towing mirror for several years, long before Chevy copied it for the 2006 model year and before Nissan decided they'd put it on the Titan.

To me, it looks like the hood as a slight rise - an extra bump near the grille....it's hard to tell with all the masking......more clearance for something under the hood, perhaps?

The picture of the "Proven Diesel" is actually a 7.3L.. Which hasn't been TOO bad..
They put pictures of the 7.3L & the 6.0L in the 2003 flyer.

Look again at that picture!!!!

We all know that Ford has had the "twin post-sliding" mirror. But the mirror on that truck is not like the 99-06......its the exact look-a-like of the 2006 Chevy mirror.

Did you know that 90% of Fords manufactured are still on the road today?


The other 10% made it home

The "twin Post" mirrors aren't standard you know...I'll bet those mirrors pictured are the standard mirrors...like on the F150
