They sure are nice, but I am definitely biased towards the 04+ body style trucks. To me they are the best looking trucks on the road. Doesn't mean there can't be an older body style that looks better than a newer one, but IMO I would take a newer body style truck over the older body style any day.

Yes, sir, i think they are much more sporty and sleek. Compared to that rectangle box look. IMO.

"Cant we all just get along?"..... lol

I like any ford truck from the mid 70's up til current models.. Would love a new truck, but 2 truck payments are not what I want. Already have the family vehicle, 07 Expedition,,and I absolutely love the EXPY.

El Paso TX,, what part of EL Paso?? I lived there couple years, back in the late 80's. Thatss where I joined the military from... I use to live about 2 miles off the mountain on northeast side street call Maureen Cr. Cant remember exact major street if was off though. Had to take the bypass of I-10, and got off right before the road that cut across back over the moutain...

Im from the east side, graduated from Hanks high school. (kind of close to eastwood) Im familiar with the NE. It has gone through some major changes in the last few years, and i wasnt born till the 80's so im sure it a little different from what your remember lol. The road that cuts through the mountain is Transmountain (unless you are talking out by chaparell thats Anthony Gap) As far as the I-10 bypass...im assuming you are talkin I-54...I dont think loop 375 (connects to transmountain and border freeway) was around back then because I can remember it being built...could be wrong though.
You probably wouldnt even recognize Ft Bliss, i go on base often because my family's business sales to a lot of units there but it is getting 11k more troops. The patriot system is moving out and we are getting Cav and "Future Weapons" and one or 2 other things. not sure of the technical term for that lol. And they are currently building their own (interstate) system, its pretty cool.

Transmoutain thats it... I havent been there since I came back from the gulf war(91). By then my mom had moved to Titan street( I think). All I can remember is allot of railroad tracks few blocks from the house.

Ah man I wanna get in on this 9th generation vs other style trucks but im holding back im making sure of it technology and engineering has changed its all good gotta keep telling myself... i will just stay out of it, o man its hard to.... hahaha

I think it's a matter of expectations. We're comparing a 1 year old and a 3 year old truck to a 15 year old truck. 1-3 years old, it should be close to perfect, and hopefully not rusty, beat up, and ugly. The 15 year old truck, you expect it to be ridden hard and put away wet. See one like ma94xlt's truck, and it gets your attention. I wish my 91 looked that good. Would I drive a brand new F150? Hell yeah - if one of you guys wants to pay for it!

I may be biased a bit due to the age of my truck, but I voted for the 94. Maybe when he gets that motor finished he'll give it to me!
