What better way to prove to your fellow men that your not gay by driving a giant truck with lots of chrome on it lol. Instead of "super duty" on that big manly grill, it should read "not gay" A big loud F350 is the ultimate truck for the guy who’s scared **** of coming out of the closet.

If he's got the green, then yes, it's relevant to him. The reality is that the vast majority of owners of these trucks <em>need</em> these trucks. They are a small, but profitable, portion of the truck market. The fact that Ford is idling all 2008 truck production over the summer is the reason why they are cutting back on these engines, not a lack of relevance in the market place. When supply is outstripping demand, you lower supply to bolster your sale price and get rid of excess inventory. This is precisely what Ford is doing.

Some of the best, most useful pick-ups on the road. Why most people need something that large is debatable, but the new engine is excellent and it's a very resilient, capable truck.
