Ford F150 - In March 2008 Motor Trend magazine

IvyDog

Waiting for an eye exam I flipped through the March 2008 issue of Motor Trend. They had a very positive review of the 2009 F-150. They indicated the upgrades that are coming. Can't remember them all but some that stuck in my head were the 4 inch lift to the front and and extension of the rear leaf springs forward for better control. Here is a picture of the new Platinum version...

I was flipping through that magazine in Barnes & Nobles yesterday. The platinum edition is so nice. Despite myself, I'm starting to like the 2009 styling

The platinum ones are more or less the step up for the former Lincoln trucks, right? Would we be looking at the same steep price jump as with the former years' models?

I like about everything about it except the front bumper. It doesn't look right with the big empty hole in the center and the 2 black squares on each side of it.
