New F-150... You have to see this video

Alright, I'll admit, I find this video to be interesting and very entertaining. Watch the very first one (lower right - "durability")

OMG!!! The Toyota was a POS!! I was simply amazed!

Totally! That video is pretty effective, I'll say.

That Yota's bed looks as if it's held on with rubberbands! WTF? I'd buy American over that Jap crap anyway, regardless of the tests.

I really like the new truck, I drove one for a day last week.........I love my 07 F 150 but the new truck is just KILLER !! I'll be owning one as soon as the huge rebates start !! Scott :D :cheers:

Now if Ford would only build some decent engines and some style, they might have something. :D Gotta love that superior jap engineering

I have an 07 F 150 also great truck in my opinion. Does the new F150 drive any better?

Holy crap! The Toyota looked like its frame was made of rubber. :eek:

To me a ford is like a democrap, good out of the gate but falls short going up the hill.

I did get a kick out of watching the Turdyoda, looked like a duck running down the road.

Ford falls short under the hood, I've heard a lot of disapointing things about reliability and lack of power. The good engines were the old 300 inline six and the 351.

what do you mean? the toyota looks AWESOME!


Of course this is a Ford Video, so you wont see the same close-ups of the ford you do on the chevy and toyota, but none the less the toyota looks like its going to rip in half.

You can here the Ford guys talk about how great their truck is on this one. Notice when they show all three trucks at once the differnece on the "zoom" of the camera from the chevy and toyota to the ford. LOL

Greg are those the videos that you are referring to? I cant view any videos from work. That's Fords marketing material, but even still that toyota looks like a peice of garbage.

The new ['09] F150 has gotten some great independent reviews.

Every since they got "Twinkle Toed" Bill Ford out of there [he is back to leading Gay Rights marches] the new guy has improved the quality quite a bit over the '06-'08s.
There are still questions to be answered as to alternator life and engine/powertrain quality.

Wait til you see the V-6 Diesel:thumbsup::thumbsup:
You should consider moving to Tokyo.:rolleyes: That Ford is bad A$$ screw the Toyota.

we just got a F250 to plow snow [school parking lot] and my first impression was the the box,fenders,and sides are the thinest metal I've ever seen on a vehicle.One week old,and already dented!

the 08's are CRAP.... i maintain a whole utility rental fleet and the 08 superdutys we have seen so far are a joke.. the 09's are a bit beefier but they arent as sturdy in body panel construction as the 99-04's that are comming through auction lines and being retired from our fleet.. and the 07-08 interiors dont hold up very well either compared to the older ones in fleet use... to many clips not enough fasteners
