The New 6.7 Ford

ChattyCathy · Oct 25, 2012

So I went to go look at getting a new truck. I have had dodges for the last 6 years and was ready to go back to the Ford. I looked at all the models.

Can anyone tell me why they feel so cheap? The interior is just not that nice. The steering wheel sits at a horrible angle also. I was a little happier with the way it drove but not sure it is any better than my Dodge. Am I missing something or are they just really that overrated???

Interior is the exact same as is in the 6.4s.

Well the headrests in the XLT's are different.

I thought just the opposite. I thought the Dodges felt cheap. And the Chevys were to busy on the inside. I love the 09-10 models. And the 11-12 models are even nicer. I just dont like the motors just yet...

I don't know man i really think if i ever need to pull a semi out of the snow the dodge would do better.

Have you gotten out of a 6.4 and straight to a 6.7? The door panels and dash are the same except the gauges and that's it. New seats and center console. The seats are way more plush as well. My buddy has a 10 Dodge and I had the same thoughts your having about fords JD.

Lariat...To be honest i was hoping to get you all fired up. The truck is very very nice. I cant decide between a 4 door short on 22's stock height or a longbed lifted on 22's...Is there anything i should be looking for besides the obvious?

Seats in my father in laws 12 XLT are exactly the same as the 10 at work.

Console is different yeah

Gauges depend on the trim package

My 2012 King Ranch is by far the most comfortable vehicle my family has ever owned

Shorty at stock height will look better in front of the Cat

I tend to agree...Anyone have pics of a 4 door short bed stock height on 22's?

Powerstroked162 · Oct 25, 2012

You are a cock pocher if you put 22's on a stock height truck in Utah

09stroker · Oct 25, 2012

I like the look of a short bed but that's just me.
My dads is a 4 door short bed with a leveling kit but with stock 20's. I can get a pic of that.

Lol, I figured you were BSing. There is nothing more "cheap" than the interior of a Dodge. There have been a couple of times that I thought I might be interested in a Cummins. I go look at one, open the door, turn around and walk away. Never even driven one.

lifted long bed FTW! That's by far my favorite configuration from a cosmetic standpoint. As you know, fuel economy sucks once it's up in the air, but oh well. If I got an '11+, the grille would definitely need to be modded right away. I hate the giant bars in the middle. I thought they might grow on me, but that hasn't happened yet. I'm looking forward to seeing what you end up buying. It would sure be nice to see you back in a Ford, as long as you could do it, and be satisfied.

Knowing what's currently available in the aftermarket, and what's almost available, I'm finally to the point where I wouldn't hesitate to buy one if I had plans to make big power. That would've been my greatest reason to not buy one aside from it being beyond my budget anyway. Here's to hoping you get another cool :fordoval: to fill your garage.

Of course.... "Spray the doors and fenders. I don't want anybody to scratch it"
