For me I give credit where it's due, not just because it's new. The 09 F150 is a let down for me.
It's basicly some new sheet metal, a new interior and the 6 speed. The heart and soul of the truck, the engine, is basicly unchanged. The frame is tweaked, but not new, the axles are the same, etc.
Give me a new engine with respectable HP and around 400ft/lbs and I'll be happy with this truck. Give me the 6.2 with 400/400 and it'll be my next truck.
Luckily some preliminary tuning is showing good results on regular grade gas. Hopefully premium is even better.
Oh and the rear is butt ugly but I can get over that.
