What's the purpose of the fender cutouts? Intake ports on each side? Will the Ford twins set up require two seperate air intakes? or just non functional garbage? I really liked the look of the 05-06 SD's (Like the 03-05 Dodges better) but Ford really took a step backwards with this one. Everything looks out of proportion

EDIT:
Ford's current Powerstroke has been plagued with problems so the arrival of the new 6.4 can't come soon enough.
Saying the 6.0 has been plagued with problems is probably the understatement of the year.

It Seems Like You Should Get More Power Than That
For have more displacement and an extra turbo, I would have thought it would have better numbers than that. The chevy for example hits 650 lbs. without a second turbo. The cummins is only 40 ft lbs off, with only one turbo and a smaller displacement motor. I would expect a second turbo in a cummins or even a duramax would jump the numbers into the 700 range. This tells me the lack of potential the motor has. Especially when considering the new cummins 6.7 will go to the 750 ft lb range, even with all the new epa requirements. I believe that's what the PSD relies upon for power more than the cummins is the turbo. Have you ever been next to a 6.0. The turbo is freakin loud. I dont think in that case its a good loud. I think they rely on the turbo more than anything to keep those numbers competitive and the new twin setup seems to confirm that. What do you all think?

Prolly the people right down the road from me here in Dearborn, MI..... I think they spend too much time at lunch! I love when Ford is off for whatever reason... at least you can get into a restaurant then! Otherwise, they are full of Ford people from about 10:30 - 2:00!

ah its a good thing we're all happy with our trucks and aren't shopping for a replacment. 
As I get older, (im 25) i find i dislike change more and more (ha could make tons of jokes here) but i also find given time, the new vehicles grow on me. I remember I hated the 3rd gen trucks and now i think their aces yet i still am trying to like the new headlights as well. Just remmeber change is universal and that we should..... feel sorry for those die hard ford fans as that thing is butt!!!

Seems if you can't beat 'em, copy 'em. The hood grows taller in the middle, and the front fenders become more pronounced - like well, uh, gee...a Dodge design from over 13 years ago! Imatation is the sincerest form of flattery ??
But what's the deal with those trucks having to say "super duty" all over them? Can't Ford give badge engineering a rest? Is not the obnioxusly overt styling on such a large-scale vechile enough? How about letting what's under this truck prove that it's really a "super duty?"

Pillar Guages
My guess is that they are only there for the test-n-tune trucks. Probably won't be on the productions models.
