For me the power it has is the least concern i have. IF it has more power than the 08 model then it can only be good. I'm more worried about the quality of the interior seeings as thats where i want it to be nice. Really wanna see how soft the leather is compared to the range rover sport with luxury pack. Be nice if it's as soft as that.

damn, i honestly think that looks like a more usable truck.... better miliage and better towing... im a huge fan of more power... just am by nature, but seriously thats why i dont own just one truck...and a few bolt ons and a custom tune and im sure 370hp is easily achieved... especially when you compare prices from the dodge and ford... for the 7k it cost to get a equivalent dodge(or what the say) alot could be done to help power and not hurt economy
I think ford has done a good job in taking a step foward in every direction..they might not have the fastest truck available... but i still think hooked to a 5k trailer... id put my 5.4l against any other half ton... minus maybe the new 6.0 chebby.... might be to much

A taller gear (higher ratio) gives them more Strength less NVH and lowers the rpm's a little in OD.

If you look through the order guide you will notice that the truck comes with the option of 3.15, 3.31, 3.55, and 3.73 read end. the only thing dropped was the 4.10. the 3.73 is the rear end that comes with the max trailer tow package. <http//www.sunrisefordfleet.com/pdf_files/order_guides/2009/2009%20f-150%20order%20Guide.pdf>

why do they put the 6.0 chevy in there alongside the 5.4, 5.7, 5.7 litre engines?? why do they put the 5.3 chevy alongside the 4.6?? thats no where near comparing apples with apples.
good article though, i continue to believe the F150 is the one to beat!!
