Introducing the 2012 F-150 Harley-Davidson!

Check out today's homepage article detailing the just-revealed 2012 F150 Harley-Davidson edition. Slick, right?! There have been over 70,000 Ford trucks sporting the Harley trim, so tell us, is this the best one yet?

Don't care much for the new rim design or new stripe and I think they are starting to play out the Platinum white color on these different models. They should just stick to black color for the Harley truck.

6.2... very nice.

Would have liked to have seen a supercharged 5-oh however...

I like the paint job. I think I like the rims....not sure though. They kind of play with your eyes in the distance shots.

The article needs more exterior angles. For example, there is no view of the front end and it's new grille.

I love the interior and that's all. I don't even like the engine (choice).

My local dealer has a 2011 silver HD truck on the lot and it's been there for about 6 months. $54K is a hard pill to swallow for a truck that just doesn't say buy me.

Like the graphics.
The interior is also nice.
Not a truck I would consider for me for various reasons, but really nice.

I'm glad to see they finally are offering a white Harley F150 but I still don't like the graphics. I really have never been much for graphics anyhow. I like the front bumpers on Harley and Limited F150’s better. I also like the interior ambient lighting. I haven't liked the wheel design on Harley F150's since the 2003 model. There just isn't enough differences to justify the added cost.

I don't see any difference in the 2012 grille design.

Very nice truck, but I'd like to see a 5.0 Ecoboost in there...

From the article:
Ford then adds a unique bright chrome grille...
Unique to me suggests unique to the 2012 HD. But I wouldnt know from this article because the grille isn't shown.

I am not impressed with these FTE articles lately. The "Increased payload" article was especially horrible.

Have always liked the exterior sytling of the Harley since the 04 models came through. This truck is no exception, although the body graphic I could do without.

I'm with you on the graphics. If I ever bought an H-D the graphics would be the first to go.

I would be for a Hardley Ableson edition ford if it didnt say Harley Davidson anywhere on it. Honestly I really like the truck, but couldnt see myslef ever owning a truck that has badges all over if from a motorcycle brand i cannot stand.
