Is it just me.....

or does anyone else REALLY DIG their '09 F-150 I'm having a blast with this thing. I have a new morning "ritual" now where I sneak out early - pop the sunfoof, crack the rear slider and enjoy the dawn driving down to my fav Starbucks and checking out the 5 day forecast and my fav team sports...just starts the day off right

Lame post I guess, but I'm really enjoying this new truck. Despite all the "nits and picks" we discuss on this forum, Ford really got it right!! It is soooooo much more than just a minor refresh of a few bodypanels and grill

You're spot on...I love this truck, I can't stop driving the thing. It's night and day compared to my old 05' F150.

I absolutely love this truck also. I am 24 and this is my first real truck that is mine. I spent 6 yrs in my Nissan Regular cab b/w HS and College. I had the money saved up and I wasn't going to miss out on this truck.

Ditto, folks who think it's just a "refresh" haven't really driven one yet...every user interface has been improved/changed. Not only does it have "trend setting" electronics (sound and nav systems, AC seats, etc.) it drives better, quieter, smoother, the engine, transmission, acceleration, brake feel, steering feedback, all have been improved....I was curious to see the "Car and Driver" reviewer's gripe about spilling fuel due to the new Ford capless fuel system....mine fills perfectly and I have never spilled a drop, I think perhaps they were doing something wrong....

Not so much from driving it...but if I could ever get her to not bring drinks/food I would be a happy man She is the world's WORST spiller of everything....she'll leave a fast food cup of coke in her console cup holder for three weeks...sorry I know I'm sounding **** - but that's disgusting Needless to say, we never take her ride anywhere
