My dad just came home with a 2005 King Ranch Ford Super Duty 6.0 (Chestnut color which I don't like personally, but it's not my truck). I was impressed with the truck, though I would have bought one of the gray and black Harley versions if it were me.


Anyway, looking things over and I see they have a Turbo Boost pressure gauge as part of the gauge cluster now (it's at the bottom of the tach circle). It reads 0-40psi. He hadn't even noticed it! I was surprised to see it there. Not too long and they'll be putting EGT gauges in them from the factory. It also had Rancho 9000x shocks, a brake controller, and a sunroof to name a few things that impressed me, all from the factory. It seems like Ford is really watching the aftermarket. The front exterior has also changed a bit (I'm sure most of you probably know), and I really liked the King Ranch style leather.


Overall, I was impressed with the truck. It'll be interesting to see how it holds up to towing his 18,000# trailer. He's keeping the Duramax for now.


Didn't know really where to post this, but I posted because I was impressed with the turbo boost gauge from the factory... If this should be somewhere else, feel free to move it mods.

Wouldn't a egt gauge have a little more importance from the factory? Either way its nice to see they are taking hints.
