This is borderline pornography...

I just want a black on black one in Supercrew, but I doubt it'll be an option..

I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE THIS TRUCK!!! WHY cant the rest of the new 09s look like this? It is so beautiful! If the rest of them looked like this it would be a no brainer.

I love how the headlights and fenders and especially the grill, the grill is awesome. Wow Ford, nice job, finally. Now, lets go aftermarket people, lets get some of those headlights and TAILLIGHTS and grills rollin off the line huh? Hopefully by the time I get mine.

Hey now....

Fordabbits is right ! That grille looks great ! Way better than the stock 09' chrome grille..... Not only the design, but the lack of chrome :-)

And Wookie, you said
Just offer it in a screw w/ the 5.5 bed
....if you want an SUV, with a dinky little 5 1/2 ft bed, just get you a Honda Ridgeline ;-) LOL

Fordabbits and I know how a truck "is supposed to be built" :-)
S-cab...... with enough space for whatever you need in the back, and STILL have a REAL 6 1/2 ft bed !

BTW, the only thing that throwing me off about the Raptor, is that although it is "the correct" cab size, it still has that dumb little 5 1/2 ft bed like the Screws ? What's up with that ?

Still, the best looking 09' I've seen yet !

Peace,
Fish

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it has the 5 1/2 bed so it can have the shorter wheel base. Better for racing Baja I guess.

Yeah I think a supercrew version of this truck is kind of going against the whole point of the truck and what it is intended for...just my opinion. You want a crew cab family hauler then a King Ranch or Lariat would be the truck for you.

They are going to build what sells.
It's an off road truck. How would 4 doors and more interior space change that?

i agree. i know every one keeps saying that 4 doors will ruin the whole purpose of this truck and its off road ability, but honestly how many people are going to take their 50k + truck (im assuming its going to be 50k) out in the desert going 45 mph +
