Heres the link: http://www.autosavant.net/2008/01/chicago-...f-150-news.html I hope they anounce a continuation of the heavy payload pkg that they have now, will still be available on the 09's. I would also like to see a 9 or even better a 10 foot bed regular cab, with that heavy payload pkg. That would be pperfect for my business needs.

DearbornDerek Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Heavy payload package will still be an option for the new model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thought the 8 foot beds looked long, think of how a 9/10 foot bed would look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the new stock bed extender thats comes with it, that would give u the extra foot or two. It looks pretty sturdy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc1999 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 We use power liftgates, thats why the heavy payload pkg is a must for my business, As far as looks go its a work truck, function is rally all that matters. Our HVAC products are bulky and an extra foot or 2 would make for an ideal truck for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford-150 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 i think they will release the payload and towing ratings as well as the 5.4L specs and the the future engine releases......maybe if we are lucky since it looks like everybody has their trucks at the hp/tq #'s they will be at for at least 3 years, Ford will be comfortable releasing the 6.2L Boss specs instead of just saying that it is coming maybe improved brakes on certain models, i wish i could hope for a surprise but we all now this is Ford and it is probably going to be what we already expected.....i hope im wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford-150 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'd guess you're pretty close to being right in your assumptions. hey off-topic but how much does your dad's F-150 make at the crank? and if you know, how much at the wheels?

I don't know offhand, but I'll ask him and get back to you. Here are some pics though: (it's dirty and desperately needs a wash and wax) Edited January 24, 2008 by rmc523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know figures at the wheels. that sounds about right, the Harley's and Saleen's make 450hp on a tune or boost that i think can go a little higher, the MODS have some good power hidden in them that 335i should be faster though Edited January 25, 2008 by Ford-150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, yes, it is fast. (well, both of them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomaro Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) Wouldn't it be cool if they made a surprise announcement that the diesel and 6.2 would be available at launch? if you notice, we have not seen a pic of the engine or engine compartment. But we have seen one of the new refueling area. The torque curve from that twin screw must be awesome. How much PSI is he running? 9 to 11?

FordFanForEver Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 RMC, do you tow anything with your F-150? My dad tows a 7,000 pound travel trailer with our 5.4 F-150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't tow much, but his company does have a large trailer that he needs to tow around every once and a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
