Gonna be really hard to improve the looks, inside or out. The big news needs to be under the hood. Base 4.6 at around 300 hp, 5.4 330 to 340 hp and pushing 400 ft lb and a 6.2 to 7L with at least 380 hp and over 450 ft lb of tq. Ford really needs to pull the trigger in the engine department.

It doesnt look too different than the current model. I thought Ford was going to change the entire truck. Most the body panels look to be carry overs or just slightly modified. Overall if this the picture is accurate I like it.

^^^^I agree. I think the main goal was to give it a face lift. I'm still not too sure if I like the front of it or not. I am still however a HUGE F150 fan!!!

AGREED! And me no-likey the grille! It's okay, don't dislike the redesign, but like my 07 better most def. The key, as stated above is what changes have they made under the hood??
I wonder sometimes if during Ford's redesigns they are tying to keep up w/what a "cool" exterior is suppossed to look like (which I personally prefer the hard lines and edges of the current models) and forgetting that this truck's history is that of a rough and rugged work truck, not a frilly, pretty 3ton beauty queen a la nissan or toyota. Whatever happened to, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"? Just work on the under the hood specs and put a lil more torque and HP up in there, improve some of the "plastic-y" looking/feeling interior pieces and to me, the F150 would rule and reign supreme unquestioned for another 60+ years.
But what do I know?
