2011 Ford Super Duty Press Launch
Hi All:
___Just got into Prescott from a hellish travel day… Not much yet and of course impressions are embargoed but the general discussion is good to go 
___This was taped to the control desk at the Prescott Airport!
___We drove 25 - 2010 Super Duty’s back to the hotel for comparison to the 2011’s we will be driving as nearly as noisy the 06 6.0 L Super Duty I have driven in the past. Still a lot of roll in the corners and Wind noise. No biggie but will try and post more later this evening as I have not had anything but crackers and drinks all-day long.
2010’s heading out
___Good Luck
___Wayne

Re: 2011 Ford Super Duty Press Launch
Hi Sean:
___I do not think I can top 29 in this monster!
___About the Super Duty, I cannot find anything wrong with it for its intended purpose! Safety, check, FE check. Emissions equivalent to a Honda Fit, check. Comfortable, Check. Convenience and amenities check. I even tweeted from it a few hours ago!
___Wait until the embargo is lifted. Holy smokes
___Good Luck
___Wayne

Re: 2011 Ford Super Duty Press Launch
Hi Ksstathead:
___
___Ford Handicapped the truck with 1,000 pounds of concrete in the bed and it still kicked @$$ over 81-miles. 16.0 miles of this trip was off-road!!!!
___You are not going to believe what this truck can do when towing 25,000 pounds let alone what it does to GM’s and Dodge’s Best… World Class cannot describe the 2011 Super Duty w/ the 6.7L Power Stroke!
___I cannot wait to get home and write this one up!
___Good Luck
___Wayne

Re: 2011 Ford Super Duty Press Launch
I thought you said you couldn't reach 30mpg, Mr. Impossible-Mileage-Man?

Re: 2011 Ford Super Duty Press Launch
If they can design it so the emissions cannot be modded, this could be revolutionary. Honda Fit mileage off-road in a serious work truck.
Wonder if that 34 is verified with a fill up? Maybe they incorporated the Prius3 FE logic.

Re: 2011 Ford Super Duty Press Launch
I was guessing manual shift mode at least between lugging and red line.
