A week with a 2009 F-150

I'm in Canada this week for the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic golf tournament. On display here they have a '09 Platinum, a Ford GT (SWEET!), and a bunch of Flex's.

I didn't like, hated in fact, the 2009 F-150 from the pics I've seen, but in person, it's VERY impressive. I really like it. I love the new interior. Much better center console layout, there's room to put multiple PDA's/Cell phones, ipods, wallet, extra keys, etc. I thought all the buttons on the panel would look cluttered but it doesn't. The screen looks great. The wood trim is nice and goes great with the leather seats. There's a bit more brushed metal inside than I would prefer, I hate when the sun reflects in that when driving down the road for hours. The sony speakers look cool. The back seat looks VERY spacious. I don't like the big box on the windshield behind the rear view mirror. I don't like the big ford logo that sticks out of the tailgate, probably 3 inches, I took a pic but it doesn't really do a good job of how much it really sticks out.

If anyone has any special pic requests, I'll try and get up there and take some for you.

Anyway, here are the pics:

Hello - Thanks for the pictures, is it an XLT, Lariat,, or what? Would love to see a picture of the front. Can you make the pictures smaller, they are a little to large to really tell much. THANKS again

It's a platinum edition. right click on the picture to save it to your computer, then you can zoom it out. I wanted to keep the picture original size so you could see all the detail. If ya'll want me to, I'll resize them for viewing in this forum.

it looks a lot like the 08's. Same general layout with a little more "bling"

The same thing was said before the release of the 2004. The reason this one is so deep is because the rearview camera is incorporated into the emblem.

It's a pearl white I guess. I REALLY like the color too. I had a white silverado which I traded for my black Lariat and said I would never get another white auto but I really like this color. It has some gloss and depth to it.

I dunno, the camera is pretty far up into the logo and the logo extrudes far past the camera. The Flex also has the same logo, but it may also have the camera. This thing sticks out pretty far, if you look closely in this pic you can see the camera lens and how big the logo is compared to it.



Here's the Flex logo:

The sky blue colored car in the distance is a Ford GT- talk about SWEET!
