I'm probably going to be getting back into an F150, and was wondering if there was anything coming in the '08 models that will be worth waiting for?

 

I don't think that there will be any big changes for '08. Expect a complete redesign for '09...

 

Hmmm....redesign for 09? Any info?

 

I doubt it wil be a full redesign, more likely a freshening. Probably a new front clip, new power train options, maybe some interior updates. A full on redesign can cost several hundred million dollars, more money than Ford has to spend right now. The current design has a lot of useful life left in it, it's only on it's fourth year.

 

I believe the 09 will have the new tranny also. I think I remember reading that in my latest 4wheeler magazine.

 

anyone heard about them putting in a diesel motor... my freind swears on his life that they will do it in 08 or 09....

 

The "powerblock" on spikeTV said Ford F150 will have a diesel in '08...

National Television... somthing like SpikeTV *shouldn't* be wrong.

4.4Liter is what they said.

 

Diesel engine is scheduled for 2010 model year which means we should see it in 2009.

 

Land Rover 4.4 Diesel, 6 Speed Auto!

Rumors though I don't have proof!

 

I've seen the engine, it's a variant of the Landrover engine but not the same.

 

Sorry, I suppose "complete redesgin" was the wrong choice of words. I just hope they don't make it too ugly! I like the way they look now, but a 6 speed tranny would be nice...

 

According to Truck Trend Magazine the 2009 F-150 will be getting a 6-speed tranny, Ala, GM & Toyota!

 

To keep a leg up on the competition, Ford announced a High-Load version of the F-150. It carries more than 3000Lbs of payload & isd rated to tow an 11,000-pound trailer. The rating's available only on regular-Cab longbeds, so it beats every other half-ton max towing rating, with GM & Toyota winning on extended & crew cabs. Note the GCWR with this package is 15,800 Lbs, a bit under GM & Toyoya's top number.

 

I don't have proof but if I were to guess, they will do to the F150 in 2009 exactly what the did to the Super duty for 2008. New front and rear fascias. A new interior and some powertrain changes. Probably a small diesel and a six speed auto as mentioned before.

 

Just take a look at a new Expedition for the taste of the nose to come. I think they look pretty cheap with all that plastic chrome.
