So, a couple of days ago I got this letter from Ford sent to select 2009 F-150 owners, asking me to go online and complete a brief survey and possibly meet with Ford Engineers.
I filled out the survey, and yesterday received a phone call.
The representative asked me a few more questions, and then scheduled me to come in for a two-hour meeting with Ford Engineers. I was told to arrive in my F-150 and advised that I may be asked to drive it or other vehicles with an engineer.
I was also told I would receive $150.00 in compensation for my time.
The meeting is on Saturday June 13th, so I've got some time to compile my list of nitpicks before I get there.

 

Not me, but I would love to do it.

 

I did something like that. It turned out Chevy/GMC was doing the survey thing in Dallas. They wanted Ford truck owners input. Spent four hours talking with them at a showroom, and got paid 125 bucks. Do it, if ya have the time.

 

Do me a favor even though I don't own an 09. Ask them to bring the handle back on the Driver's side pillar. I use mine to get in and out of my truck. Also ask them why the removed it.

Also ask them to remove those ugly reflectors off of the side mirrors

 

I filled out the survey, but never received a return phone call.

 

tell them to HURRY along with the 2010 FX2!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I filled out the standard Ford questionaire and another third party questionaire. Never heard back from either one. I have another question. Has anyone recieved any gifts from Ford in the mail after buying their 09? Besides the random Amazon gift card. In the past I received a small gift in the mail after purchasing a new F-150, a blanket w/ a F-150 logo and a F-150patch. Another friend said that he had got collapsable lawn chairs with the F-150 logo on them in the past. I guess with the current crisis this has all gone bye bye.

 

Back before the PT Cruiser came out, my wife and I went to the State Fair Car Show and saw the prototype. soon after, we ordered one from our local Chrysler dealer. (ended up getting one of the first ones off the line).
Anyway, while waiting, I constantly got stuff from Chrysler and the dealership in the mail.
toy PT's, CD cases, caps, etc., all with the PT Cruiser logo.
The Ford dealership did send me a tin of Chocolate chip cookies though.

 

I got a ziplock baggie with a bow. The cookies were good though, they were the truffle cookies? I think that's what they're called. They had a chocolate center. Good stuff.

 

For every explorer I purchased I received camp chairs with the explorer logo. Never received anything for my past F150's. When I bought my 09 F150, Ford disqualified me for the Ford loyalty rebate because I didnt term my lease on my 06 (didnt care I wrecked and totaled the 06 and walked away). Might be a region thing. Here in Jersey we get crap!!!

 

Wow, nice to get the gifts...since 2000 I have purchased 6 new (fully loaded) Fords (including two F-150's and a Shelby GT500 vert) and never received a thing...perhaps those of you who paid too much received the "guilt gifts" from Ford JK - consider yourselves the lucky ones

 

Ask them for the 6.2

 

in a RCSB w/6 speed

i would also like to see the manual shift mode ala Tundra. hit the shifter to the left and then have a +/- for the up/down manual shift mode

 

Yeah, back in 1998 I received some decals for my truck because it was their 50th Anniversary edition, but since I bough one of the first off the line they hadn't created any decals or anything yet.

I also received a 50th Anniversary F-150 blanket too. Still have it, has both the 1st and 1998 F-150 on it. Pretty cool.

On the subject, ask 'em if they thought of bringing back the armrests on the Captain's Chair's, eg 1997 F-150. Loved those.

 

No guilt gifts on the one before. I bought the previous one for invoice plus the dealer gave up his holdback because he needed to move the truck, since it had sat on the lot for about five months.

On the 09 I used the X-Plan in early January.

Just curious to see what other people were getting besides the lucky few that got $750 Amazon gift cards randomly.
