Production in Full Force

Didn't have a chance to get any pictures, but when flying out of KCI (Kansas City Airport) there was a gigantic lot clearly visible from the runway of newly built 09 F150's being stockpiled (they filled the same lot a few months back with Escapes)....in any case the 09's look awesome on the road, may have to seriously consider an FX4 in the near future

If this is true then all I have to say is, FINALLY FORD FINALLY!! I'm actually very interested to check one out in person. Who knows maybe, just maybe, I'll fall in love all over again.

I saw one here in Omaha over the summer, beige Lariat. VERY nice looking trucks. Can't wait to see more on the roads.

Saw two of them yesterday at a local dealership promotion and I was not really that dazzled. I think the 04-08 version is more impressive aesthetically. At least the free food at the promotion was good

Rumor is...

we might get the OK to ship next Monday. We are up to about 350-420 units per day so we are ahead of schedule. They might wait until October 1 but with the number of units we are building, I am sure they are having to pay a pretty penny at the lot by the airport to store all these trucks. I heard today that there are well over 3000 trucks stored there and growing every day.

I agree with mSall150 just give me the 6 speed and locker for now and I'll keep my current truck until the other engines come out in 2010 or the new truck in 2012

I got to test drive an XLT 4x4 last week. It drove very nicely and felt solid.

The leasing company we use at work holds a test drive event every year. They had everthing from a smart car to Audi's Bimmers and more. Just get in any vehicle and take it out. Not time limit, no salesman. It was very cool. I was surprised to see the 09 XLT and jumped in right away.
