2009 Ford F-150

[SUPERSHELBY]

i dont have any specs but all i know is that it will have a 6-speed auto.......http://news.windingroad.com/body-stylesmarket-segment/truckspickups/next-generation-ford-f-150-prototypes-spotted/

u guys think it will look good, cause i dont......

[supra999]

Just another ugly ford.

[SUPERSHELBY]

Just another ugly ford.

not all fords r ugly, the mustang of course looks good, the 08 taurus looks alright, but the 08 focus........idk

[sweetvette]

I think 08 focus looks alright, i like the thought of the ambilght system it'll have, like neons on the inside of your car, super cool!!
the truck doesn't look bad at all, i just hope ford doesn't screw this up and they keep everything nice, clean, and original.

[Numbchux]

QUICK!!! TOYOTA'S GOT A 6-SPEED!!!! WE BETTER DO IT TOO!!!!!!



lol.

[adamn84]

I think it will look good, looks like just a facelift with the new 3 bar grille.

Judging by the 5k rpm tach in the interior shot, Ford may be planning to put in the 4.5L 6 cylinder diesel. Just a thought.

Also, I wonder if Ford will resurrect plans for the 6.2L "Hurricane" V8, seeing as how the 5.4 is outclassed now.

[mini-z drift]

not bad
Personally i perfer BMW and nissan
( all imports)

I really hate americab cars except ford because it made the fastback mustag

[joe913]

I've never like the styling of the Ford trucks. But they must be doing something right considering the F150 has been the top selling truck for like a billion years. and..The taurus is just the 500 renamed. The 500 was not selling well so Ford decided to rename it.

[SUPERSHELBY]

u guys think it will look better than the 2008 Super Duty, cause i think it will look better. BTW i think the Super Duty looks good

[THE EDJ]

looks like everyother ford truck theyve made over the past five or six years. so what? the body work isn't even that different, they havent had a style change for years, thats a boring looking truck. if ford intends to compete with the likes of the new tundra or chev/gmc, then they had better get to work and come up with something better than that mundane, average looking piece of junk.

i agree with a little bit of what your sayin, but ford trucks aren't all that boring, but ford should bring back the Lightning, why did they even cancel it?

[Firebirdman]

Ugh....another boring, original, POS ford. When are they ever gonna give up? Can't they see? Ford is going downhill...slowly, but surely. With Toyota's new trucks and cars, the Tundra making a huge uproar, well, mine is anyways :P, and the camry being Americas Number 1 safest and highest selling car on the road, they don't even have a huge line, and already they're stepping up to the plate with the top three. Ford has been losing...I was reading a recent car&driver magazine at school recently, and they compared the f150, dodge ram 1500, toyota tundra, nissan titan, and chevy 1500 or w/e it is, and toyota ranked highest in nearly every spec, and the ford barely hung in, even being beaten by the nissan titan, and all models were stock, just as a base, and Ford blew it. From the looks of it, this new line and look for Ford is just barely getting them by, the f150's sales are slowly declining, the taurus/500 is struggle over name issues, the rangers got ugly, as well as the focus. Ford is merely hanging on, as theyre slowly getting dragged under. They better start appreciating that whole "F150, the number selling truck" title, because IMO, it look like they'll be holding the crown much longer....

By the way, I'm a total Dodge/Toyota fan...anything besides a Ford, and I'll drive it. :)

Nissan FTW!

Personally, I think the newer F-150s are getting rounder and chunkier... I know people like it (check sales), but I still think the boxier F-150s from the '80s and '90s were the best!

Remember Bigfoot IX?

if you know anything toyota and ford is going into together so i really dont matter if toyota is out selling ford or not

[SUPERSHELBY]

i heard about that, both companies said they werent sure about it

[fordredneck]

yeah its true....its suppose to happen some time this year, i think the f-150s look ok i like the 93s up to 98, but still chevy is basically and import now they are not made american made, they are made in china now, to save money, to thats why they are getting better fuel economy

[SUPERSHELBY]

if they do join i hope the F-150 looks nothin like the Tundra, no offense 2 all u Tundra lovers

[fordredneck]

it aint, i think there doing joining together cause they can get theyre stocks with an american company and they could basically help each other with safty and fuel econ. and random ****

[SUPERSHELBY]

ford has ruined the F-150 just look at this.......http://www.pickuptruck.com/html/2009/ford/f150/spied/mule1.html

[texan_idiot25]

How does that ruin the F150? The toughbox was announced a week or two ago, i think.

Its allright, though Id only toss it on a regular cab. The bed seems a tad too long. Maybe if it was slammed down, Id be allriught.

Theres a company that has been doing this to the Chevy Colorado for a while.

i dont like the idea, and i think that messed the F-150 up, IMO

[texan_idiot25]

By what? stretching the bed and adding a pair of doors? Mind you, the F150 is the longest runing chassie right now, gettin to be outdated. Same with its looks, Im ready for a new F150, and not one that wen as boxy as this one did. ;)

Oh well, its a great idea though, especialy for fleets. And thats what its aimed for. :)

[SUPERSHELBY]

i hope its 4 fleets, and i dont care if the chassis is all new or not, i just wanna see a good lookin F-150 :)

[texan_idiot25]

Its a customer option, but its aimed at fleetsales more than customers.

Ford need to get its act together... and why was teh ford thread closed? There was no VS talk in it... stupid rules

[SUPERSHELBY]

i wanna see the current 5.4 modified a little, i t probably wont help but a least it will be OVER 300 hp, and have HP on par with the silverado and the ram, and they need 2 stop puttin those wimpy paper air filters in their cars and trucks....IMO

[SUPERSHELBY]

UPDATE!!!

i kno this is a old thread but they released more pics of the 2009 F-150....

ahh nothin really special

[coolcar24th]

Just wondering, but why are they all covered in that black tarp? It gets on my nerves.

their just testin it out right now, the tarp means that the vehicle is still in testin i guess

[Numbchux]

it means they're spy photos. and it also means that what's under there has virtually zero realistic effect on what the truck will look like.

[texan_idiot25]

Oh crap, looks like the superduty grille, and thats not a good thing

[Jizzle]

=supra999;78218]Just another ugly ford.

agreed

[V8lover411]

i dont like the idea, and i think that messed the F-150 up, IMO

iagree with supershelby that f-150 toughbox is a disgrace just looks doofey.

[SUPERSHELBY]

im concerned with 2 things: how the truck will look, and what the top of the line engine will be

[texan_idiot25]

And will it pull a trailor up a giant see-saw, and then stop on the other side?

[SUPERSHELBY]

i dont think it will have a problem with towin

[lilskipro587]

haha texan I have a hard time believing those tundra ads its just so pathetic!

[texan_idiot25]

Read the fine print on them, or use common sense...

The comercials make you, the stupid consumer (in general, ppl dont know this) that the truck will pull a 10,000 pound trailer. BUT, towing capacity includes the weight of the truck, not just the trailer.

Also, why does the tundra have to have bigger front brakes? Comercials make you thing its for to stop the extra weight of a trailer (see the 40-70 ad, and the "look at what other 1/2 tons have" ones). Well, in the 40-70 comercial, the trailer has TRAILER BRAKES as stated in the fine print (either on the site, or the actual tv ad) that stops the weight of the trailer. The truck doesnt. So why does the tundra have bigger brakes? Because it WEIGHS MORE, its heavier than the other trucks from GM

Also, their motor and 6 speed trans, they only have a few months to brag. They only target the Silverado directly in the ads, because it still has to wait a few more months until it gets the 400hp V8 seen in the GMCs, and 1st seen in the Escalade. BTW, the escalade does 0-60 in the 6 second range. Thats why you only see the ads targed silverado, because the GMC already has the 400hp V8 (more torque and hp than toyota) and a 6 speed auto

That, and tunda already has huge cash incentives, while the GM boys are still selling for sticker price, the tundra is just over priced. You can get a loaded Sierra, that has the 400hp V8 and 6 speed auto, for less than you get an equally (or fully loaded) Tundra, and its interior is total crap, compared to the GM boys.

[SUPERSHELBY]

it might not help but i wanna see a possible return of the 351 V8 in a ford pick-up truck. i wanna see the current 5.4 stroked 2 a 5.8 (351 ci). hmm......5.8 Triton V8......sounds good 2 me
