Well, you can't sell a truck at a loss. In order to sell at 0% they have to obtain cheap money from an outside source because they don't have the money themselves right now. Right now... obtaining money is difficult. Toyota is in a better cash position. So long as a vehicle moves you don't drop rates but since its not even on the lots yet dropping rates is premature, and would result in under-cutting 08's already on the lots.
I'm sure Ford has analyzed this and gets it more than a bunch of arm-chair quarterbacks on a web forum think they do!

They are trying to offer me 0% apr on mazda and 0.9% on 09 mazdas so i cant see why they cant do this for the fords. Even the mustangs have a lower apr than the trucks. They seem to be trying it on at the moment.

Well while Ford owns a large chunk of Mazda, I do not believe that have full controlling interest in that brand. As for mustang APR..... what is easier to sell as the winter months approach? Not the 'stang, I can assure you. They are trying to move 'em out while they still have a chance... being more aggressive.
