It was tested with the 2015 6R140 with new torque converter.

We went with the most capable / highest rated towing package from each manufacturer, which determined the axle ratios. I can see where a numerically higher rear axle *might* provide an advantage in a short sprint. It's much more difficult over multi-mile runs like we did at Davis Dam and in Colorado. For a relative comparison, see this story I wrote at PUTC. The 4.30 rear axle didn't help against the 3.73. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2010/09/rocky-mountain-power-test-2011-gmc-sierra-denali-3500hd-and-2011-ford-f-450-king-ranch.html

There will be other Super Duty news as well.

No plans to announce diesel in the F-150. EcoBoost delivers an ideal combination of performance and fuel economy and is a better value for customers in this segment than some diesels.

Scorpion!

Good question. Answer: http://tinyurl.com/mvm97wd

Ford doesn't offer a gaseous prep kit for the Mustang. Its engine isn't hardened for CNG/LPG, so that engine warranty has just been voided by the conversion. Speaking of CNG, interesting topic. Edit: Changed It's to Its. Doh.

Sorry. No other news to announce about the 6.8-liter V10 at this time. It's a kick ass engine in its current state. - Mike

Rest easy. Ford is not dropping the 6.8-liter V10 from the F-450/F-550. Mike Levine Ford Trucks Communications Manager. Twitter: @mrlevine

Yes. It's an 8-inch screen, up from 6-inches.

EcoBoost for Transit - pretty cool, eh? :-)

Dean - It's a long story. In any case, I start Monday. :shades:

While I would certainly love to get a Raptor, maybe I'll try to get the last U.S. Ranger off the line.

I'll be lurking and checking in from time to time. Other than that, I know nothing! :shades:
