We have the first shots of the
2009 Ford F-150 and, if you're a "Ford Truck Man" you'll certainly enjoy them. And if not, with 35 variations ranging from the entry level XL to the pre-pimped luxo Platinum Edition if you can't find one you like you're just not trying hard enough. Live shots below and the in-person experience confirms the "I am Daveness" of the
2009 Ford F-150's grille, as previously seen.

The 2009 Ford F-150 has arrived and, for potential buyers, there are two major stories here other than the new frame and exterior: more standard/available features and more model variations. Now standard is the AdvanceTrack with Roll Stability Control (RSC), Trailer Sway Control, the new Tailgate w/ box side steps and the new "Easy Fuel" capless fuel-filler system that uses a a sensor to automatically seal shut when the nozzle is removed. Available on all F-150's is the SYNC system (with all goodies), new 700-watt Sony sound system, integrated trailer brake controller (segment first on light-duty pickups) and rearview camera assist. There are going to be a total of 35variations of the new F-150 (XL, STX, FX4, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch), including the new Platinum series, which adds extra detailing and chrome on the outside and features such as ash wood accents, 10-way adjustable leather captain's chairs and standard 20-inch polished aluminum wheels.

news
It's obvious modern day dirt-haulers are often used for anything but. The real story is who's the biggest? Nothing says non-useful, penis prop quite like pickup beds so tall you can't lift anything over 20 lbs. out of them, so the all-knowing Jalopnik brain decided to virtually drop trou and measure. Make no mistake; ToMoCo's new Tundra is fricking massive. And it's built in a red state by non-union salt-of-the-earth types. But as the photo evidence shows, the Southern-fried Toyota is just not massive enough. So you know; in those boots, I'm 5'11", single and despise long walks on the beach. Hell, the beach in general. View the winners after the jump.
