2009 to 2010 Platinum changes

Getting the urge to swap trucks and looking at the F150 Platinum. I have tried to find a list of differences from the '09 to '10 and haven't had any luck. Was there any substantial changes between the model years? Reason I ask is I have no problem snagging a low mile used 09 instead of a 10 close-out but if there was a big change between the years I may eliminate the 09. I know the 11's have some big changes but I don't want to pay the "first on the block" premium.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

What I found out was the brakes are better on the 2010 VS 2009. BIG dealmaker in my opinion ...

Brakes were revised and '10s have e-fans. There were a few other changes. Do a search and there are several threads on it.

They dropped the best color ( imo ) in 2010, which was Royal Red. Wow I love that color. I hate it when they keep stopping the deep burgundy paint..

Ambient lighting was added in '10 I believe, the larger rear seat headrests which all 2010s have.

as far as actual Platinum model changes, the 2010 model has 2nd row/rear heated seats, ambient lighting as mentioned, and the sliding rear window has rear defrost too. The 09 Platinum does not have these 3 features.

all 2010's have updates such as new brakes as mentioned above.
