Too bad you got the 5.4.  Test drove a 6.2 in Minneapolis (garsh that was easy!) and wow...me want!! :o  Plenty of power...which is 414 hp and 434 torque, a little more than "only" 400.  Sooo much nicer than my 08's 5.4.  Now...if only Lotto Max would pick my numbers!  :'(

Same thing here.  Saw one in downtown Ottawa a few weeks ago hauling a 8' closed trailer.

Glad to hear people are seeing these rigs out!  I drove one this past summer and wow are they nice!  Can't wait to see if the crew cab comes to fruition.  Ford builds the best trucks out there by a mile or 3.

If you have not seen one in person go check one out. 

Has anyone tried driving over top of a civic or corolla?  Or better yet a Camry?

Saw one on the 401 the other day, and it certainly looked very cool. Not a vehicle I would aspire to, but I can see why someone would like one.
