The one thing that i think may be a little controversal is when they say it is a quiet interior. I mean they show a prime example of how it can be bad. A firetruck is going to a call, a person in there f 150 is talkin on there cell phone. As they are already distracted by the phone it is so called sound proof so now they will block the truck, once the person notices the flashing lights it will have wasted precious minutes. I know i am getting carried away but........ if it is true what happens when some one is listenin to some loud music they will never payatteintion. THis is just some useless waisted time and ma boring and way out of line .02 cense (cents)
:lol:

I like it better then last years model, but they shouldn't have switched to IFS! Bad 4-wheeling capability! :(

IFS = comfortable, more stable ride when carrying cargo. Either way, who wants to four-wheel with an F-150? Real offroaders drive Jeeps...with round headlights, of course. :) But actually, I really like the new truck. It looks a lot less girly then the last model, although I didn't get a very good look at it since I was in the Volvo driving madrusty home, trying to avoid killing us both and greatly angering his mother. :lol:

My dad has been looking into leasing another one. Ford has greatly cut down the options on the new F-150. The dash is actually closer to you than the last model. But, I still like it and still think it is better than the last.

OK well i like almost pickup trucks. What ford has done to the new f150 makes it look futureistic and in my point of view it doesnt look like a real pickup. It looks like an electric car. I know that under the hood it nice and powerful but the outside jsut doesnt do it for me. ALso the interior looks like a family car or something. i hope that the 250 and the 350 dont look like it.

But i like the new f150 svt lighting.

Personally I think the new f-150 is extremely butt ugly, the lightning is still ugly but anything that has that much horsepower is cool. By the way the only cool jeeps are powererd by a chevy small block 350 and a custom chassis so its not really a jeep because jeeps are crap!!! (Just thought I would throw that out there.):) I dont like ford either except the mustang is ok i guess... Chevy is the greatest.:evil:

Wow, that SVT is sweet. The grill and headlights remind me of the original mustangs, as well as the '05 one, which I really like. I havent gotten a good look at the new f150 yet, but from what I've seen, it looks pretty cool.

Okay, stupid comment of mine with the Jeep. Let's not start an Chevy vs. Ford debate here, please.

Yeah, Ford had to step up the SVT after Dodge dropped the V-10 from the Viper into a Ram. :evil:

my dad and I went to test drive one.. and the new truck is awsome, much more comphy then the last model and the new cab is very nice has a sporty look. the truck also handles a bit better then the last model, and you have to love the new much more aggressive look!

Shawn I dont think the new look is really all that aggressive. Its like a rolling box look to me. It has no curves at all just sharp corners everywhere.
