[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 532695, member: 6317"] The lighter material allowed engineers to introduce sturdier parts such as larger axles, brakes and hitches, stronger driveline and transfer cases — and still reduce overall weight by up to 350 pounds, Slevin said. The truck sits higher off the ground, is wider and the cabs are up to five inches longer than the outgoing model, depending on the trim level, said Gordon Platto, chief designer for F-Series trucks. Engines include the carryover 6.2-liter V8 gasoline engine on the F-250 only, as well as the 6.8-liter V10 gasoline engines and there is a 6.7-liter V8 turbo-diesel engine. There is a new six-speed transmission for the F-250. Horsepower and torque figures have not been released yet. For the first time the truck has adaptive steering that requires less effort to steer at low speeds. Jennifer Shaw, driver assistance supervisor, said there are seven cameras around the truck, including one at the back and the blind-spot detection system will check for traffic around both truck and trailer. A camera on the back of the truck also helps with hitching the trailer in the first place. A guidance system can see the sides of the trailer and has lines on the screen to help coach the driver backing up. The truck's reveal at the state fair will be live broadcast from Texas at 11:45 a.m. It can be viewed at [url=http://www.youtube.com/FordTrucks]http://www.youtube.com/FordTrucks[/url] and there will be simultaneous events at the world headquarters in Dearborn as well as the Irvine design studio in California, said Brian Rathsburg, Super Duty marketing manager.
