Jalopnik's 2009 Pickup Truck Comparison Head-To-Head Jubilee Event Challenge Spectacular!
We've had an abnormally high number of pickup truck first drives recently — the 2009 Ford F-150, the 2008 Toyota Tundra, the 2009 Chevy Silverado and the 2009 Dodge Ram. Why?

As proof that this is the new diesel-powered F-150, the photographers from KGP managed to snap pictures of the "DIESEL FUEL ONLY" strip over the gauge cluster, the telltale slotted/sideways exhaust tips and, most importantly, the first shots of the tank access for the urea.
