Whoa, pretty fancy.
I understand that CNG is also an option in 2013.

Re: Some Ford, and some Classic Trucks
Yep, moved the center display higher, with extra things underneath. The entry assist handles appear to be different. The rest is pretty much the same as my '12.

Re: Some Ford, and some Classic Trucks
Sorry guys I don't see it, looks the same as last year and the year before to me. What happened to the 60's when things changed drastically from year to year?

Re: Some Ford, and some Classic Trucks
I think they took a page from the HDT makers starting around 1967!
I don't look for Ford, at least, to make other then cosmetic changes to the pickups for the next couple of years now that they have the power train issues ironed out. All new engines, gas and diesel, and transmissions, developed in house, and introduced over the last two years, they'll be looking to recoup the investment. Can't make 'em much bigger then the F450 without running into weight regs, insurance and driver licencing issues. Plus the Fed's are stepping in about onboard electronics now. Shouldn't be many changes in that area. But they could make it easier to mount a CB or Ham radio! I have my Cobra 148 CB mounted on the left side of the center console, but if I had big legs that wouldn't be an option. I'm still looking at where to mount the scanner. With dash and side airbags plus a full console, lot's of the old mounting areas are out of consideration. I guess it'll have to go in the 'Bird.

Jeff, I wonder if there's room in front of the center console for your CB if you remove two of the four cub holders.Chief409 wrote: But they could make it easier to mount a CB or Ham radio!

Re: Some Ford, and some Classic Trucks
Yep, but HDTs been doing that forever, I'm not saying it's a bad thing after all my truck could be mistaken for a 1997 or a 2007. I just don't think they need this hyp every year for "the All New 2013 (insert brand here) Truck", when they really do totally "redesign" you're so tired of the hyp you hardly notice. If you got something that works, keep building it and promote your improvements not the whole truck again & again.Chief409 wrote:I think they took a page from the HDT makers starting around 1967!

Oh by the way mine came with standard cab lights.

Re: Some Ford, and some Classic Trucks
I looked at that, but I don't think there is enough depth available at the cup holders next to the dash for the CB. The other cup holders get constant use. The scanner, MIGHT fit there though. The CB is good where it is, and the microphone clip is on the side of the radio, so it isn't flopping around. It actually blends in and I can read the display while driving. But, when I get a HAM licence, where will I mount THAT radio?! I wish the overhead console was sturdier.Rob & Cathy wrote: Jeff, I wonder if there's room in front of the center console for your CB if you remove two of the four cub holders.
