Once these come out I will have to look at upgrading from my 2000 Silverado. Nice looking truck and the improved power and Torque will making pulling a trailer a breeze.

hand me my hybrid-powered rpg, i’ve found a new target! (j/k)

What? No lap times from Nurburgring?

Pickup trucks are really starting to get stupefying amounts of torque. How long before there’s a tandem-axle 6-wheel option so I can tow 26 tons? I like how the very second Ford or Dodge releases a new more powerful diesel, GM yells “Yahtzee!” and trumps with more torque and power.

Duramax is the boss. Trucks aren’t quite the same since the whole DPF thing started though.

this truck looks just like an oridinary 07 sierra 1500. whats all the fuss about. why is Government Motors stealing ideas from Ford. they stole the mirrors, 3 bar grille with big ass logo in the middle. didn’t Government Motors trucks use to have 20 different lights in the front. looks like they copied ford and now have 20 different lights in one headlight unit.

Thanks GM keep it up

Sorry boys, but the new 2011 Ford Super Duty with the 6.7L PowerStroke Ford Diesel will rule along with the advanced technology features only Ford can deliver. No HP or torque ratings yet, but I’ll bet Ford will rule as they already have over 50% of the HD truck market and growing…

Why do we even get into pissing contests any more about which domestic full-size truck is better? They’re all good… big, reliable and available in a zillion different configurations. Give it up people… ‘gee I dunno, ma Furd can tow 50 lbs more than that there Chevrollyay… that’s a pussy rig if ya axe me’.

I mean really, if the domestics had always built their cars as well as their trucks the import makers would probably have been scared to come here in the first place.

the Chevy vs. Ford debate will never die, i love it.

Johnny,
Well said

The domestic 3 have their own strong points and weak points for trucks. From what I have heard from all my friends with Ford trucks their weak point fuel economy. They can get roughly 450 km’s to one take of diesel. My father in law with an 08 Sierra diesel can get over 600 km’s. But then again, the Ford I believe can pull a little more weight. I play favoritism with the Ford, Chev or Dodge trucks. They are all good vehicles and make excellent work trucks. Anyone that thinks that one is so much better than the others is only kidding themselves.

LOL, what debate, FORD WINS!!!!!!!
Plus the reason FORD hasnt realeased the true tq and hp numbers for Super Duty is becuase of teh competition, they want to see what the other have and make it have more tq and hp!!!!!!

I agree with the canuck, in full size trucks, you just gotta buy American. I could care less which brand, they all look and perform great. Comes down to which of the three has the best financing at the time in combination with the least arogant dealer.

WOW GMC – With that tape what are you trying to cover up? The New Government Motors Logo?

I honestly couldn’t tell with that disguise what type of truck it was.

Could it be a Hyundai? Nope – didn’t take bail out money.
Could it be a Suburu? Nope – they didn’t either… hmmm…

Oh by the way…
• Ford F-Series share for September is 40.6 percent, outselling the Chevrolet Silverado by more than 14,000 units and outselling the Silverado and GMC Sierra combined (DOES THIS SAY COMBINED????) by more than 7,000 units; overall F-150 leads by more than 66,000 units vs. the industry
• Calendar year-to-date F-Series share of 35.6 percent is up almost 5 percentage points year over year
• With those numbers in the books, Ford F-Series is three-quarters of the way to becoming America’s best-selling truck for the 33rd consecutive year and America’s best-selling vehicle for the 28th consecutive year

NICE JOB FORD AND THANK YOU FOR NOT TAKING GOVERNMENT MONEY!!

Ilt21 HAHAHAHA GOVERNMENT MOTORS!!! THATS SUCH A GOOD ONE! shut the **** up with that **** already.

i guess they all have their pros and cons..id never even think about a gm truck..ford maybe maybe maybe…but id stick with dodge…thats just me though so stay off my d!k about it buy what you want

Government motors blows. Ford is the winner.

Man this whole government motors things is getting really old. You don’t hear everyone calling Ford – Found On Roadside Dead or if you reverse it Driver Returns On Foot. Or Dodge – Drips Oil Drops Grease Everywhere. Or Toyota – Too Often Yankees Over-price This Auto.

Give it a break with changing names. GM is General Motors.

Hey. Don’t knock on GM. I own it now. I gotta set up a conference meeting now. :-p

FORD= GM’s Idol

Awesome trucks no doubt! One interesting piece of info that Leftlane missed is that the 2011 Silverado and Sierra HD’s are going to be riding on an all new chassis. A note to the Ford fan-boys. It was the Silverado/Sierra that won pickuptruck.com’s last HD shootout. This is not a simple road test, they put the trucks through all types of conditions including fully loaded trailer tests. That said I agree that you really can’t go wrong with any of the domestic HD trucks.

Ford’s 6.7L Scorpion is a very high-tech engine, I doubt I’d get this over a 2011 Super Duty.

Never send a truck to do a Sierra’s job!

Government Motors!

Sorry guys, but I don’t think calling GM “Government Motors” is the same as the rest… This one is actually well deserved and pretty actual, u better get used to it.

Oh and I’m Ford-guy BTW, but I couldn’t care less about “Found O …” b/c I know what reality is.

Sergeon General GM has always played that game well of wait and see what Ford Posts their HP and Torque rating. just so they can make second hand design changes to get a slightly better figure. I mean what do you want in a Truck Longevity of slightly more HP. I’ll take longevity and Toughness more in the Ford over the Chevy anyday of the week.

ajm11 Um GM stands of Gross Merde. Merde is French for S***. lol

But I believe this Time the Ford Motor’s 6.7L Scorpion Diesel will OUT HOSS and Trump all other comers.
And believe Ford will have it eventually have the first Heavy Duty PU to actually Pull as much as a Tractor Trailer! Move over PeterBuilt here comes Shorty! Ford Motor Company Rulz the World!

Dingleberry Diva, where did you find that information? That’s pretty amazing!

The tape is not covering anything up, it’s holding the truck together!

POWERED BY SVT RAPTOR, FORD F-150 NAMED 2009 ‘TRUCK OF TEXAS;’ FORD WORKS WINS ‘OUTSTANDING FEATURE’
2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor
Login to download images.•2010 Ford F-150, powered by SVT Raptor, captures the “2009 Truck of Texas” title, named by the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA), the seventh consecutive award for Ford
•Ford Work Solutions productivity technology, developed for commercial fleet customers, named “Outstanding Feature”
•Ford truck lineup also wins “Truck Line of Texas,” recognizing its capability, durability
DALLAS, Oct. 19, 2009 – The 2010 Ford F-150, powered by the all-new SVT Raptor, was named 2009 “Truck of Texas” by the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA), the seventh consecutive time a Ford F-Series truck has won the award. Additionally, F-150 SVT Raptor was named best “Full-size Pickup Truck.”

“Winning the Truck of Texas is a distinct honor,” said Mark Fields, president, The Americas, Ford Motor Company. “Texans know their trucks, and this award is further proof of why the F-Series remains America’s number-one selling pickup. We built F-150 SVT Raptor for truck enthusiasts. And we’re gratified it’s gaining recognition for both its unequaled off-road performance and confidence-inspiring on-road demeanor.”

Ford trucks also took the “Truck Line of Texas,” a distinguished honor recognizing the best-in-class capability and durability of Ford’s lineup.

Another top honor, “Outstanding Feature,” went to Ford Work Solutions, a suite of productivity technologies developed for the commercial truck owner. The system includes an in-dash computer that connects with the home office; Tool Link that keeps track of costly tools and equipment; Cable Lock, which locks up tools in the open truck box; and Crew Chief, a telematics system, giving the fleet manager more control of his/her fleet of vehicles.

Ford F-150 delivers class-leading towing capability of 11,300 pounds and hauling capacity of 3,030 pounds – a combination no other competitor can match.

With the launch of the all-new 2009 model, the truck improved its fuel economy by an average of 8 percent across the entire lineup, thanks to a wide range of engineering enhancements. The fuel economy gains reach as high as 12 percent versus the prior model year on F-150 models equipped with the high-volume three-valve, 5.4-liter V-8 engine. Plus, the F-150’s SFE package – which is available on highest-volume XL and XLT series – delivers unsurpassed fuel economy of 15 mpg city and 21 mpg highway.

This summer, Ford introduced the 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor, designed as a purpose-built, high-speed off-road truck ready for adventure. Raptor also is versatile enough to handle the daily commute. To test the capability and durability of Raptor, Ford took a modified pre-production Raptor to the grueling 41st Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 this past November. The early-build Raptor not only survived Baja, it earned a podium finish in its class.

Key enablers to the Raptor’s impressive performance are functional design cues and impressive suspension technology. The Raptor is seven inches wider than a base F-150 to make room for the additional suspension components that give Raptor its off-road abilities. The wider stance also gives the truck an aggressive appearance.

Internal triple-bypass shocks by FOX Racing Shox – the first on a production truck – provide position-sensitive damping and extra suspension travel for extreme off-roading and a smooth ride on the road. In addition to the shocks, Raptor has unique cast-aluminum front control arms and SVT-tuned 35-inch BFGoodrich® All-Terrain TA/KO 315/70-17 tires. These components give Raptor 11.2 inches of front suspension travel and 12.1 inches of rear suspension travel.

The F-150 SVT Raptor comes standard with the proven 5.4-liter SOHC V-8 engine that produces up to 320 horsepower and 390 ft.-lb. of torque. In early 2010 customers will have the option of an even more powerful new 6.2-liter V-8 engine.

Customer anticipation has been extremely high, with 3,000 orders already received for the 5.4-liter F-150 SVT Raptor. In fact, initial dealer orders have the Dearborn Truck Plant building Raptors at maximum capacity, reflecting the strong demand for the first-ever factory high-speed off-road truck.

Starting price for the F-150 SVT Raptor is $38,995 including destination and delivery charges.

In total, Ford won eight of 18 awards, including Lincoln MKX as “Mid-size CUV,” Ford Flex as “Full-size CUV,” and Ford F-150 King Ranch as “Luxury Pick-up Truck,” and Ford Expedition as “Full-size SUV.”

YOU KNOW WHAT i JUST THOUGHT ABOUT?

IF CHEVY / GMC / DODGE WANT TO SELL SOME TRUCKS THEY SHOULD SLAP THE FORD LOGO ON THEM AND TRICK THEIR CUSTOMERS… LIKE THEY TRICKED THE GOVERNMENT INTO GIVING THEM MONEY…

HMMM….. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

the sides and rear look as plain and boring as, dare i say, toyota? ford has nothing to worry about here.

Bankruptcy2009: How much can a tractor TRAILER pull, anyway?

Should work nice!!

johngalt I’ll answer your Question in a Moment first I need to change my name to Chevyman and say Hey everybody,Chevy/GMC (ALIAS CHEVY) SUCKS so Don’t buy one! ForeClosure and Bankruptcy is emminent again probably due to idiot Gov Motor Followers, no Quality, Unreliable, and Totally the WORST TRUCK GOING and SHORTESS LASTING TRUCKS ANYWHERE. GM TRUCKS MAKE IT FROM THE DEALERS LOT TO THE JUNK YARD ALL IN THE SAME DAY! Chevy Like a Block of Scrap Metal. Rusted and never worked right headed to the slag heap.
JG your average TT hauls about 45,000LBS

Man I can not believe how narrow minded people are on this site. They resort to name calling and ridiculing GM for what. Everyone knows here that the management screwed the company. Everyone knows here that the cars from early 2000’s back were not the greatest vehicles. Times change. Hyundai is great example of that. Their cars were biggest piles of crap when they first came out with the possible exceptions being Yugo and Lada. GM is making very good vehicles now. The SIlverado/Sierra are highly recommended truck, as is the Ford. Buick is tied Jaguar for best overall quality after 3 years by JD Power. The GM vehicles not only look a lot better but actually compete with or best the competition (LaCross, Malibu, Equinox and SRX). And as for the full size trucks in the HD area, the best transmission hands down is still the Allison 6 Speed Automatic in the Chev/GMC.

Nice truck.

Missing two things – a set of steel ‘nads and a much larger exhaust tip. It really has to be 8-10″ in diameter and shaped like the mouth of a canon to truly scare everyone off.

If you think Ford doesn’t get government money, please read and think for once.
There are 650,000 active duty police officers in the U.S. What kinda car do 80%+ drive…….?
Have you thought about it?
Need a few extra moments to mull that over…?
If you drive a Ford, you don’t have any reason to knock on GM. These companies do things very differently. For instance, GM doesn’t have two completely different lines of trucks. Why make a half ton, one style, and the 3/4 ton another style? So the Superduty is for the “real man”? These companies have kept up with one another for a long time and they each offer differnt things but I tend to lean more towards Chevy (I currently own FORD AND CHEVY’s). Does Ford have anything like the Avalanche (full size)? Does Ford have automatic locking rear diffs? If you notice, the commercial ads from the two companies are targeting Toyota. If Chevy wanted to compare fuel economy, which they are very conscious of, they could easily go straight at Ford and knock them all day, but instead they knock the real enemy, which is Toyota (”fertile rice patties” in Japanese).
Bottom line is, your dad mighta had a Ford/Chevy, and your grandpa mighta had a Ford/Chevy, but NO truck made this day and age, is built like the classics

Do you know FORD make a FIRE sell of all is other company, because Gouvernment tell to him, YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO GARRANTY THE LOAN….more bad then GM!!!!!! this is the FACT
So before speak think about that???? (Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover, Sterling Medium duty Truck…ect…ect…. and this week MAZDA from 50% to %0…do you kow how much money this make…go and do yours home work….the BIG TALKER of PRO-FORD supremacy)

So FORD after 5 year in RED…(a record off all time for a american company) just begin make profit because he listen what the gouvernment tell to HIM…like the OBAMA tell to Chrysler to GM….Make a better product a rigth price and stop give to action holder big $$$$, to president to stop give a private JET to BOSS??????? if you nothing have MONEY
Stop bashing FORD is in BIG trouble…..HE SELL ALL…GM can kept it because he make good product in all is model and make from all around the world…THIS IS A FACT
