I'm also curious about the gooseneck/5th wheel towing numbers. Today's releases were very careful to note that the numbers were for "conventional towing."

I think Ford was the only OEM that listed 5th Wheel Tow Ratings for half tons, and they were typically lower than the "Conventional Towing" Ratings. They may have eliminated the ratings for 2021? There is also speculation that 5th Wheel hitch equipment/hardware will interfere with the PowerBoost hybrid battery/systems under the bed?

Anyone confirmed if ordering the lariat with sport package if that locks you into awful red interior?
All signs point to yes, including every picture available. “Unique interior finish” is added and not at option you can remove. Just hoping the standard black interior with the chrome package has none of the red accents.

I guess that will make my decision of whether to buy a truck this year an easy one. Not a chrome guy and I am not a red interior fan. I think they will lose business over that decision

I never thought of that! Since I'll need to tow a gooseneck on occasion, I think this may be the deciding factor between the 3.5-liter EcoBoost and the PowerBoost.

Yeah, unfortunately, this information won't be known until some of the trucks hit lots, and maybe even then it will take a while before hitch manufacturers decide if they want to mess with trying to make their hitches work around the PB equipment . I think it is too big an unknown to order a PB now based on an assumption. If you can get to one of the test drive events coming up, maybe someone will give you a chance to poke your head up underneath and gauge it for yourself, or maybe you'll see that cut away frame display and that will tell the story?

I'm planning on being at the one in Atlanta next Friday and I will try and remember to ask one of the Ford reps about this and report back.

Hi Bob. Please check the payloads on as many of the door stickers as possible. This is an important deciding factor for many including myself.

Thank you

I wonder why there is no generator offering on the 3.0 powerstroke and the 3.3 V6. Also could we see 4.10:1 gear for the 3.3 eventually?

Hey Bob, if you could ask them about how clean the power is coming from the electrical outlets. If the sinewave is dirty, it could create problems for some devices.

Thanks Bob,
you could take a couple of chairs and someone to operate the video camera and do an onsite question and answer session. Get the scoop on everything and start a youtube channel.
