When comparing the Ford, Chevy and Tundra sitting on an angle to show frame flex... the narrator said about the Toy "they have the courage to call their frame 'Tri Tech'... they outta call it 'Tri Flex'!

good stuff. It is no wonder ford has had the best selling truck for 31 years. GM (God's mistake) guys should be embarased. They didn't come to the game prepared. Toy? They are a non issue. They go fast and that is all.

The GM is essentially just new sheet metal & some frame tweaks! Heck the rear brakes are just drums.......talk about backwards technology!........

I'd love to take my truck on that test track in Arizona. Wonder what it looks like after 3 years of use.

is it just me?? when the new gm's came out I thought they looked pretty good... now that they have been out for awhile, they are getting uglier! That and how inferior they are in capability is pretty sad.

The 4 year old Ford design is showing them how it is done. This 04-08 150 will go down as one of the best trucks in history

It's into the 5th year now! Yes, this 11th Generation of F-150 will be truly one of the best trucks ever produced!..........

My favorites are the 97 thru 99 Best trucks made sense the 50's models
Ford that is, the rest are just not as clean and stylish.
IMO

I think my 00 would show these trucks up too, without the new frame even. It's one thing to be biased but how much more evident is the fact that the Toyota is sh+t?

I had an 02 supercrew before I traded for my 05 supercrew. I think the 02 was probably a better vehicle. I plan on keeping the 05 for several more years though as I have learned that the newness wears off quick and they just cost too much to keep trading every 3-4 years.

3 more payments and she's mine.

What is the 2009 F150?










as soon as that 09 f150 comes out, chevys got that best looking truck award. Get one with the 6.0L v8 with 369 HP and weve got ourselves one hell of a truck.
