Nice aren't they! They drive as good as they look

I don't think all the new features have been revealed yet.
FTE KEN wasn't it hard to keep this to your self?

Looks like they are making it a bit more difficult to go after market with the radio...with wood grain plating anyway.

Yes, and no. Yes... because so many times I saw people guesing wrong and I just wanted to let them know. No... because sometimes secrets are fun!

Another site is reporting that the smallest engine available is a 4.6L 2V not a 4.2L 2V.

4.2 V-8....what architecture is this built off of? The Modulars?

The V6 (3.7 Cyclone) will show up in 2010. There wasn't a 2004 V6 (only Heritage) either, IIRC.

The 4.2L is a Canadian Essex engine, old school pushrod motor. Ford is doing away with that entire engine family.

I broke that news here at 12:01 am yesterday. You haven't seen all the posts here regarding the all V8 lineup?

Nope, still working on catching up on all the news on the 2009 F-150.

was wondering if the xlt will get the flow through console, and what the difference is between the regular and chrome package on the xlt is.

thanks

Its not hard to believe that they did away with the manual transmission. 1% is terrible but what do you expect when you only offer it with a base truck and a dinosaur 4.2L OHV V6? Aside from my land yacht Lincoln and my work truck, all my vehicles have been a stick shift and that is how I like them. I despise automatic transmissions. If Ford would put a good 6spd manual behind the F150 and give an option for a 6spd with a granny low and one with a super tall overdrive for the commuter crowd it would be awesome but I know that financially its not feasible but I can always dream.

It's about time they killed the 80's looking green lights! Looks nice except I could do without the Star Wars a/c vents.
