I'm at the State Fair of Texas and on display is the all new Ford pickups for 2011. The F450 in my opinion is not as large as the older F450.
The truck has several modified changes, including the hood that is not the old clam style hood that the 2008-09 had. The all new 6.7 L engine has one turbo with two sets of blades on the shaft. They now will inject a urea cleaning solution into the exhaust system instead of the system now. You will have to add the solution (7 gallons) at each oil change. The filler system is located next to the diesel fuel fill door in the same compartment. The interior is about the same with only a few changes. The truck I saw had 17 inch tires instead of the 19.5. ; with a GVWR of 13,000 lbs instead of 14,500 lbs that my 08 has !!!
The truck can be ordered with factory rino lined with the new Reese 20K hitch installed on a new mounting system. Looked very impressive.
Factory Rep said truck should cost just shy of $70,000.
Took several pics that I'll try to download later.
