Hmm... This is odd

So I've been checking out the 2010's and 2009's at http://www.cars.com/for-sale/searchr...ce&sf2Dir=DESC

and I noticed that the 2010's FX4 only says FX on the guage cluster not FX4 like the 09's do... Makes me wonder what else we are going to find different on the 2010's besides the things that ford published awhile back. I noticed in the FX2 thread that the FX2 comes with a neat looking grille. Anything think the 2010's are going to come with that as well? The FX4's on cars.com show last years fx4 grille but I wonder if it may change? My truck is getting built right now and should be delivered in a couple weeks. I'm annoyed that ford hasn't published the 2010 website yet too....



Chris

It's likely a cost saving thing so Ford can have one generic cluster that can be used in both the FX4 and FX2.

Is it just me or does all this ordering, packages stuff seem to be getting pretty screwy?! I don't think I care for it much myself... I personally think its much easier to just leave everything as its on model line with options for each. i.e. xl, xlt, larait, FX4, King Ranch, etc etc

anywhoo... the trucks look great, but all these changes to the details is odd to me

Yeah ford not updating the f150 to 2010 on the website is annoying me too.

hmm, that is strange.

Not many grille changes. That dark gray grille is only on the FX2, but a chrome version of that same grille will come on the 2010 XLT chrome package model. The 2010 Lariat chrome package grille has new chrome mesh inserts. The Harley model is coming out with its own grille too. Otherwise, the rest of the grilles are the same as 09.
