Getting a new 6.4L Twin Turbo diesel and the frame is a beefed up version of the fully boxed frame you see on the new F-150. Gets interior update and I think more exterior styling updates as well. Though the current Super Duty is pretty sexy as it is, it just looks like a truck.
WOW. Just did a search for it and it looks like an impressive motor. International i believe is gonna make it. I read somewhere its gonna have 400 HP!!!!!!!

I'm not a big fan of the F-150, considering if you compare a base F-150 to a base F-250, the F-250 is only approx. $400 more. Plus the F-250 is solid front axle which i like :D . Not too fond of the styling either.

Im on the search for an F-250 diesel. Thats what i wanna get once i finally graduate from college. That and a motorcycle, then ill be set for a while.

Kind of hard to predict. Diesel forums have some of the biggest lies and myths you'll ever see. Everybody is getting a CAT motor, Dodge will drop Cummins, Ford owns Cummins, blah blah blah.

I imagine they're planning on beefing it up for more torque than the Cummins and the Duracrack GM diesel, probably using sequential twin turbos to widen the powerband, and upping the transmission. I wouldn't doubt seeing this one able to tow over 20,000lbs. They're also improving on the EGR and injector problems that the 6.0L initially had. Basically this one will put out a good bit more power and fix some of the current probs. with the 6.0. They're going to up it to a 6.7L to meet 2010 regulations.

Looks like either Ebay pulled it, or he did. Link doesn't work anymore.
