I got to climb in to the 09 at the rodeo and take a good look at it. The pictures really do not do it justice. The front will take some getting used to, but so did the 96-03 and 04-current models. The interior is really nice and so is the 6 extra inches in the back. I also like the bed and tailgate. I think that most of you will like it when get to see it.
And yes I did ask the reagonal Ford guy about hp #s and he didn't know anything, or at lease didn't say.
I just figured that I would pass this along.

did they have all trim levels or did they only have one or two? FX4?

They had a couple. The one I climbed in was the platnum. I forgot to take pics for some reason. I will try to take some tomorrow when I go back. They keep them locked so find one of the Ford guys and ask him to let you take a look and fill out one of the info cards for them to send you info on it.

I agree they definitly look better in person. I didn't get to see it up close, but i saw it when they drove it in Reliant Stadium. I still think the 04-08's are the best looking truck.

got up close and personal with 'em.

They have a Platinum and FX4 Screw 6.5' 4x4.

The Platinum is fine if you like that kind of thing.

But the FX4...

I fell in love right there.

I can only hope that the Active Fuel Managment system on the 5.4 is on the ball...God that was a beautiful truck.

As soon as I can get 'em off-loaded I took some pics of them both.
