My uncle blew his up by crushing the oil pan and stuff on his 95 and it caught fire...ever since then grandmother has called them exploders.

We built some M1 test mules with the V-10 last year, but there were no plans to put it into the F-150. I think they just wanted to see how it would fit and handle.

I wish they'd build the 4.6 stroke dohc v10... that boss 351 mustang concept was the ****. the first mustang in a long time with cubes and power... sigh...

Have you guys seen the ford flex. the grill and lights kinda look like the concept drawings. Look at the placement of the headlights compared to the pictures of the camo 2009 f150. they look similar in placement.

You could haul groceries in the tool compartments though. The soccer moms are really gonna love it! Just open the side door and set them within easy reach! No wonder they're keeping it a secret. I'll bet one side is a refridgerator/freezer too and maybe a microwave so mom can cook dinner on the way to practice!
With sides that high I'm willing to bet the middle is probably a hot tub for the little ones to soak away their aches and pains on the ride home from a tough soccer match while each watches their choice of movies on one of the eight dvd players that are now standard equipment on any "work" vehicle priced at $50.000.00 or more.

We still have one stashed away. What a blast to drive with all the low end torque of a V-10

I see that tiny front door that is used on the current super-crews have been replace by one closer to the size of the ones on the super cabs, glad to see that, that tiny door made for a blind spot.
