Read Pickuptrucks.com's hands-on, first drive review of the new 2009 Ford F-150 and what it means to potential buyers, starting HERE:

http://www.pickuptrucks.com/html/200...ord-f-150.html

It is a very positive review. Congratulations to Ford. You killed the Dodge Ram, again.

 

"The best transmission in the half-ton segment." Nice! Very good write up, can't wait to get one.

 

Was there a restriction on reviews for the f150's because just this morning i have found over 5 detailed reviews for the f150 that i have google check for everyday and they all come out on the same day?????

 

Yep...there was an embargo that ended today.

 

ohhhh that would expalin it then. Well the reviews all look like they have rated the f150 again as the best truck money can buy. No suprise there.

 

Great review!.........Congradulations FoMoCo!.........

 

I just saw that MT put up another review of the 2009 Ford F-150. They all say about the same thing just, a little bit different wording.

 

5.4 the weak link..... best tranny. Kind of what I expected but 0-60 in 8.96 is bad. You'd think the tranny would improve that?

 

I read autoblogs test where they reported on towing vs the comp and Ford did very well outperforming the new Ram. The funny part is the gm they had for the comparo was a 5.3L with the 4 speed. Now c'mon Ford. If I'm in the mkt for a truck to tow and I'm buying a gm am I really buying a 5.3/4 speed. Get us revleant comparisons. like a 5.3L/6speed. or a 6.2 L 6 speed, or their max tow pkg with the 6.0L/6 speed....

 

The new 09s have some serious improvements in them. Looks like Ford has a lock on the Truck of the Year!

 

Ladies & Gents if you go to www.pickuptrucks.com you can read an in depth review of the next Generation F-150!.......

 

I've been reading some company documents and perusing the new model training course and service manual, it really is a fantastic overall package. The electronics/entertainment suite is second to none, the lockable rear differential was long overdue for FX4s, being an offroad oriented truck. The 6 speed auto is badass. The looks still haven't quite grown on me yet, but Ford hit another one out of the park, IMO, with the '09 F150.

 

Looking at this image from popular mechanics, the F150 is less than 4 tenths of a second behind the almighty RAM and it's big honkin Hemi. Not bad if you ask me!
