2009 front end has to be the UGLIEST front end
2009 front end has to be the UGLIEST front end
on a truck I have seen. Even the GMC looks much better than the new "Pug" style front end. The interior is great, but the outside looks terrible. Just my opinion. Happy I bought the 08 left over.

i hate that fact they changed some options on the trim levels. i had an idea of ordering a new scab xlt with a moonroof, now you can't get a moonroof in a xlt.
just another scam to make your pay more money, guess they got that idea from GM

I have found over the years that it takes me a long time to get to used to any of the new body styles -
When the '97.5 first came out, I thought it was the ugliest thing I've seen compared to my '95.
Got used to it over the years, and ended up buying a used '03 in 2006.
The '04 body style was easier for me to get used to - but waited until '08 to buy a new one.
So...who knows - maybe I'll get used to the '09 body style towards the end of it's life and get one in 2013 or something........
One thing that I really can't get used to is the new Super Duty front end - I just can't stand it!

I can think of a few.
But, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While big discounts definitely steered me to buying a 2008, I can't say I'm unhappy with my choice. I don't disagree with the comments here on the 2009 styling and it's still not growing on me.

well they got the great idea from somone, i have to buy a fx4 or a lariat to get a moonroof, if i ain't spending enough money on a new truck already, screw off ford, bye bye 
GM will still be going, regardless of speculation, no auto makers are safe at this point. there was a time when ford's thousands cheaper than than a silverado/sierra, i just went and priced out new crew cabs. there is very few dollars difference now, ford is gonna screw themselves IMO.
a well loaded xlt 09 and a well loaded sierra were 400 bucks difference in price. the sierra came with a 6/100 drivetrain warranty to boot. ford better step up. and they fuel management system is knocking down 20 mpg's in the crew cabs.
