Also look close at the front opening on the bumper,looks to be a scoop or angled ramp to maybe a inter cooler for maybe supercharger or turbo.

I remember the first imaginary engine I built, it kicked ass too. That's what the n/a
5.8 is, Imaginary. I'm not even going to waste my time on replying to reptar

Okay heres a question for all you guys wondering if its the headlight upgrade they are covering. Why would build some special truck to test new headlights and then cover them all up??? I would think lights could easily be tested in the lab. Im going with engine/trans and drivablity testing.

HOT DAMN!!! those black wheels are hot. I'll take 4!! Those don't look like the '12 wheels. to me, they look like a totally different wheel.

The ones on the front are the black '10-'11 wheels. (also known as the spare wheel).

My guess is:
1. The big F O R D will be removed.

2. A positive displacement supercharger will yield more low end torque,
wheather on the 5.0L or 6.2L or 5.8L and
a change in Differential gear ratio to to lower RPMs,
since there would be more low end torque to squeak out a MPG increase.

3. See ^^ number 1. ^^

Now that I look at the 12 wheels closer...I think you are right. They are ALOT better looking in all black.

They are A LOT better in person than any pics I have seen! I was thinking of taking my rims and switching them out if I got a new one but after seeing them in person I'm sold on them!
