Re: First Image of 2009 Ford F150

Not bad, but I actually like the looks of the Dodge a little better.

Re: First Image of 2009 Ford F150

I think I would take the dodge too, they did not do much in terms of a styling update

Re: First Image of 2009 Ford F150

Well, the pickup war just got even more interesting. The Ram is certainly the more visually stunning of the two updates... which I think is essential when redesigning a vehicle. Doesn't matter if it's all new if no one sees it. Sounds like the Ford has the kit to stand out, but they should have gone in a different direction with the style, I think.

Re: First Image of 2009 Ford F150

I believe this picture depicts what will be the "Platinum Edition," or something, of the new F-150. Other trim levels will have different style grills.

Re: First Image of 2009 Ford F150

Front end looks like **** compared to the previous one. I'm hoping the V8 underhood, and the porker weight doesnt hinder this truck...

Re: First Image of 2009 Ford F150

I love how Ford "completely reworks" a vehicle just to have it look exactly the same. They've got a good truck so it was really hard to mess this up.....and then they messed with the grill!! I don't know what they were thinking, but it's just wrong for this truck. Maybe the Lincoln could use it, but it doesn't say Ford at all!!

I never thought I'd be saying this, but I'd take the Ram!
