Outside of the wheels, its a good looking rig.

 

I'll definitely check one out when they get to the dealers, although the wait is even longer now. Who knows, maybe I'll end up giving one a home.

 

They definetly hit it with the ugly stick, I think its going to be a real bomb as far as sales go

 

Don't underestimate the power of the F150 brand, just having that badge on the fender will probably move a million of them off the floor in the first year.

 

that's how i felt about the 2009 camaro but now as im seeing the spy shots it seems more realistic all of a sudden. youll get over it as soon as you see them flying by you on the road .


Unfortunately with the state of the economy and truck market i dont think it will be a million...

 

No, probably not, but if someone needs a truck they're still going to buy one.

 

Not unless you wave your magic gas mileage increaser wand....

 

I wonder if the ones that are on order will get built. I ordered mine in May, and if the Platinum's stay at the Dearborn plant, they aren't even going to start until October! This blows.

"If you haven’t noticed, people aren’t exactly keen on driving trucks and SUVs these days. This isn’t just affecting commuters, but also city governments, businesses, and truckers. Just last month the F150 finally fell from it’s position as the best-selling vehicle in the US, and now it’s come out the Ford is delaying the release of the iconic truck.

Originally, production of the 2009 F150, a highly anticipated redesign, was supposed to begin production this month. According to Edmunds, however, that production schedule has now been pushed back two months until August and September. This is amid news from Ford that the company will be scaling back its production of trucks and SUVs while working on a more fuel efficient vehicle lineup.

Ford will be rereleasing it’s Fiesta subcompact, to be built in Mexico, in 2010. Ford also plans to update its popular compact car, the Focus, so that it is common with the European model. The 2011 Focus will not only be redesigned, but should get much better mileage as the company looks to compete with the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla."
