That is one beauty that you cant resist… i really love the style of the hood it gives more muscle look.

I heard the Raptor F-150 was canceld I also heard the same about the boss 6.2 V8 a major let down for me. Ford is really milking the 5.4 For all its worth. Now with 320 hp its at about 100 more horses than its debut it 1997. I hope that the new F-150 is at least as fast as the the Chevy Vortec’s…I gets old listening to the Chebby guys boast about being faster..but I am sure they get tired of us talking about beating them in pull offs. I dont expect the new F-150 will be as fast as the new Ram though with a 381hp hemi…I already have read one artical of a quad cab hemi 09 ram pulling off a 5.7 second 0-60 time..with the advacements Ford has made to the 09 F-150 I expect it to do 0-60 in the mid to early 7s…but then again I thought the 04-08 F-150’s would be in the mid 7’s when I first heard about the 300hp 3v VVC 5.4 back in 04. guess that 6,300lb curb weight soured that. Dont get me wrong the 5.4 isnt a bad engine it does what truck engines should do, and that is make lots of low end torq at a nice low RPM…same cant be said for the Chevy 5.3 or the 6.0 Vortec Max for that matter. I just really had my sights set on a 400+hp 400+lb tq 6.2 V8 with a 6speed auto. man that combo right there with this weight loss for the 09 F-150’s would put them at the top of the speed heap I am sure probuly low 5’sec 0-60’s Eaither way im sure that the 2009 F-150 will be a great truck just like the 04-08’s were…but once again probuly not the fastest.
