only on the 09 XLT chrome package, they still have the chrome pull handles. The 09 Lariat now comes standard with painted door handles, so if they added the chrome pulls to those then it would look just like the Platinum model which maybe Ford doesn't want that. Neither XLT or Lariat chrome package has a special chrome grille like the 08 chrome packages. Maybe they will for 2010?
Sorry bowhunter, I don't mean to bust on your truck mods. I just think the chrome on the entire handle bucket part is a bit much. But on the pull handle part only, it looks fine. It's cool that the new Lariat's come with painted to match handles, but then you covered them all up with those chrome covers. I would have just put the chrome cover on the pull handle only.
I guess they look ok on your light colored truck with the other chrome pieces. But I definately think they are cheesy when I see them on other trucks (mostly darker color) with no other chrome at all on them.

I have had my new 09 150 for three weeks now. I have about 1900 miles on it now. My last two trucks were F250's. The last one had diesel engine.
I got the full 4 door version with the 6.5' bed. I think I got every option but the step under the bed to get in the bed from the side. I always have a cover on my bed and didn't need it. The Nav and the Sony sound system is awesome. The leather seats are heated and cooled. You can feel the AC come through the seats. I ordered it with the 20" chrome wheels and they look sharp. The blue tooth is cool. It also has the back up camera that shows a picture on the Nav Screen.
I am getting around 16.8 miles combined. I think I will like this truck.

Ford has a great truck on their hands.
I'd love to get one, but my 06 is almost paid off, still has low miles and I just found a hell of a deal on a Kenwood in dash Nav, with b/u cam, dvd player, 300 watt amp and 10" sub with custom box...all for $800. So besides the cooled seats I just upgraded pretty big time and my FX4 has the luxury package so I'm not missing much.
Not only all that but I'm going to have a hard time buying any American car for awhile if all these bailouts go through. They need to go bancrupt and restructure....but thats another topic..LOL!
