I just visited pickuptruck.com and the specs and pics of the new f150s are there, I was also surprised to read that the v6(4.2) will not be offered in the new fords,it says that the 4.6 will now be the standard engine and the 5.4 3v is the optional engine. that should go real good for resale value or trade in for all us guys that have the v6 now.
It's also "no more manual tranny'. I haven't seen anything but autos in the specs. Ford really needs to think about that one, unless its a glaring misprint.
Wait, there's hope. Go to this thread and see what FordDude4L found out at the autoshow:

Apparently the 2005 F150 will have an updated 4.2 V6 with a stick (whew, I hope it is true as i don't want a truck without a stick).
