Looking over the vehicles in my dealers lot the other day and saw something very different. A white sand colored 2008 150 LIMITED. Two tone leather seats,extra chrome, badging etc. Real sharp chrome lettering on the side of the bed near the taillights saying "LIMITED". This truck also had a rear veiw camera. A small lens in the tailgate handle and a screen inside the cab someplace. Truck was locked and unable to see where the screen actually was.

Did a google search and found out this is a special edition for 2008 because the 150 is 60 years old. Anyone one else get to see one of these? Sharp

The screen is in the rear view mirror. It turns on when you put the truck in reverse. You don't even notice it untill it turns on. VERY NICE!!

 

being the cynic that I usually am...Ford needed to do something with all of the parts from the Mark LT truck which is being discontinued. Quite pricey for a truck...but eveyone to their own

 

My 2004 FX4 was totalled last month when an idiot pulled in front of me in a mustang. As the firemen said, after looking at the mustang "I am buying a Ford F150.

Needless to say I purchased a limited, it is a sport truck, nicely appointed and the AWD seems to be a nice addition to the truck line. I lost 4000lbs of towing capacity with the Limited from my FX4 and will have to ask my buddies to help me tow my big boat when I need to get it out of the water but the truck is mainly a commuter and hunting vehicle.

The drivability is great, I had only owned sport sedans before the FX4 but this thing drives like a sports car only better cause I can throw my garbage in the back. While not for everyone that needs a truck it is a sharp vehicle and fits my needs to the teee.

VIN 2889 out of 5000

Start a new thread and show us some pic's of the new truck. Sounds GREAT!!

 

I wonder why they call the F150 a 60 year anniversary truck.
It wasn't made until 1975..........
Yes, the truck line has been running for 60 years, but not the F150 or super duty....

Either way, sounds like some nice trucks.

 

I saw one at Sarat Ford in Agawam the other day.Gorgeous truck but I want the 6.5 ft bed with the crew cab..

 

isn't it just a white harley truck??? ( i think it is, just look at the letters on the bed, the wheels are identical, but i don't know if it is s/c'd...)


n e way it is pretty!!!!!!

 

From what I have been able to tell it is a harley but in a white paint scheme and lighter interior. I did not study the suspension setup in the harley so I am not sure if there are any noticable difference other than the color schemes. A super charger is not an option.

The best feature for all of you looking at new trucks is the navigation, having been in the porsche ceyenne and acura and working with thier navigation systems, Ford has nailed this very nice. It is easy to use and provides accurate mapping and the touch screen is great.

I hit a 90 corner at about 45 miles per hour today and no sway, no slip and solid through the turn, scared the **** out of my wife who does not understand trucks that have handling, he he he

the harley's do have the s/charger right? just not the limited???? i have not looked i have only seen the limited from the outside and the window sticker, then i stopped looking, NEVER will i pay over 25,0000 for a truck (caddy yes, truck, no...)

they are not supercharged

 

nope, they have a 5.4 and the exact same transmission. the only true difference is the Harley is AWD (with selectable 4x4 HI though) and gets it's own set of paint colors...and badges

nothing special, and defineately not worth the extra $$$
