anyone get the november issue or motor trend magazine? if so check out page 24... they cleaim that the new 09' F150 will have the 6.4 diesel (rated at 350 hp and 650 FT LB)
and thats all.... for now.
what do you think... do you think its a good decision or bad one? enjoy.
Thats alot of power for a half ton, I like it but by the time you price it out you are at the price of a 250 or 350. I don't think it would sell, unless it is made a cheaper option than in the super duty.
i'd rather see the HP TQ numbers around 280 and 550. 350/650 is a lot of power for a 1/2 ton truck and is un-necessary. if you need that much power you should be getting a 3/4 ton truck or up.

If the F-150 gets the 6.4 (stupid in my way of thinking)...I'll pass as, I wanted a 1/2 ton that got some good diesel fuel economy. Not the piss-poor mpg of that 6.4
Also, the whole cab-off for repairs w/the F-250 is step in the WRONG direction, not back yard mechanice friendly at all!...

Forget about removing the cab making it not backyard mechanic friendly, have you actually seen the motor itself? Unless your backyard has the latest diagnostic equipment, no one is going to be doing much of anything on one of these. I understand that removing the cab is the easy part of servicing the 6.4. I mean, any truck that has 7 radiators/coolers is getting pretty complex.
