New Transmissions?
Is ford going to put the new 6 speed automatic from the expedition in the f150. Just read a road test of the new expedition el in motor trend magazine, the new transmission is great, it dramatically dropped 0-60 times and increased fuel economy. Motor Trend observed an 18.7 mpg average.

Yeah, I can't wait to see what they look like and I worked on a phase of the 09 back in May/June. We were using the current body style with a new floorpan. The cab was about 2" short in the front, it did not line up with the bumper.

Like I said we were using the current body so my guess is the new cab will be 2" longer on the 09.

well lets hope the horsepower is going to be able to run with the competion! thats my only bitch about the truck! no power! the rest of the truck is top shelf! my friend bought an 07 avalanche, i have to admit chevy did a good job on the interior! when i say good job i am comparing it to there old interior, however compared to the f150 , the chevy is still not there! there plastic that they use on the dash still has that cheap look! and they are so close to raising the bar, and they go with cheap plastic!

Yeah they better not make the new F-150's look as ugly as those new F-250 and F-350's just my opinion no offense but sure is true yeah those new Avalanches are way better than the older generation in my opinion..
