I actually like the front styling better than GM's. But I hope GMC follows suit with the 6-speed transmission since they already have plenty horsepower, E85 capability and the best fuel economy in its class with the Active Engine Management System. Plus their brakes last about 100,000 miles as they did on my Silverado. Unlike F-150's 20,000 miles, according to F-150 owners. In addition, GMC is coming out this Fall with a Hybrid version with a 6-speed/ CVT combo tranny.

Replying to: kcram (Jun 27, 2008 3:43 pm) I would agree, for too long the auto and truck industry has experienced one upmanship in the race for horsepower. If someone really needs a 6 litre truck they can alway go with the 250 or 350 or 450 or catapiller - it's too bad no one has come up with a decent balance between gas milege and power -
#16 of 24 Blue Tooth? by sirraf Jul 16, 2008 (3:05 pm)
Will the new F-150 have the Blue Tooth? Since several states now prohibit the use of cell phones unless you have a hands free connection Blue Tooth or similar device will become a necessity, Replies to this message: aspesisteve (Jul 18, 2008 6:53 am)

Replying to: sirraf (Jul 16, 2008 3:05 pm) why would you look for the truck to incoporate Bluetooth as opposed to buying it third party? Buying your bluetooth earpiece yourself means you have many more choices at less cost. Kind of like when getting navagation buit into your car only less complex imo.

2009 Ford F-150 will offer Sync. Comparing Sync with an ear piece is like comparing GW Bush to Abe Lincoln....

A just can't believe how little info is out there concerning the new F-150. Neither Edmund's nor Ford's website has much. I keep hoping that Ford will offer the 7700 payload package or something similar in more models for 09. The advertising touts increased payload but I have not seen any specifics on any available packages. Has anyone seen anything? Thanks.

#23 of 24 huh? what? by jvos Dec 07, 2008 (9:22 am)
I was disappointed in the review. First of all, why did they review a 4.2? Secondly, it really seemed like they were reviewing it more like a car (MPH, MPG, etc) than like a truck. I've probably read a dozen reviews of the currently 2009 line up of trucks reviewing them AS trucks - towing, offroad, loaded capacity, etc - any everyone said the F-150 was the best. Oh well, luckily I consider multiple reviews and not just one source.
