Doesn't stand out like the new RAM.

Not my style, too similar to the current model

Looks like their just cutting some corners and updated the current gen similar to that with the Expedition, Escape and Explorer with their recent updates. I don't believe it's a full redesign.

Ford does Ford thing again. They will never learn, no matter how many execs they change.

And yet it will continue as the best seller. WHY???

...and Chevy will remain a close second and it's the worse truck on the market.

These loyalists will by whatever Ford and Chevy build and that's why they lack. They don't have to be that good.

Ram and Tundra should be far and away the sales leaders especially with the 09's if sales were based on real criteria and not a loyalist buying decision.

its tradition... but at the same time, it is losing market share year after year.

By the time next Tundra hits, I doubt F150 will do more than 500k sales per year.

Oh I know its just a redesign. But it just doesn't stand out to me like the ram and tundra.

I think the old rams look much better then that. Ford seems very repetitive with their trucks to me.

Some nice new features there.

The rear fold down step has been available on the new F-250 so I'm glad they've brought it to the F-150 - handy feature. And the cargo 'dividers' and flip out 'retainer' thingy are all useful.

The first of the new pics there with the blue body color framed bumper and black center looks good to me. The all chrome one looks ok to me on silver but too 'blingy' on anything else. I guess it's a trim level.

Hopefully it will have a 6 speed auto now too.

Our '04 F-150 will likely be with us for several more years, but we'll definitely consider another one when the time comes.
