Power Kid,
Are the order guides 100% accurate? They did not list HD radio or remote start in the Canadian version. No HD radio listed in the US version. Canadian version mention EPS and the US version didn't.

I'd like to see green return for exterior color as my first wish, and maybe green bulbs in the instrument gauges again. Second wish is allow customers to have a Harley, Lariat Limited, King ranch, and Platinum in extended cab configuration. I love the Harley and King Ranch trucks, but I don't have a want or a need for a supercrew truck, extended cab size truck is all I'll never need. Why can't you have a full console and a moonroof in XLT models?? You have to get a limited or higher model to get a moonroof???? I just wish Ford would allow you to order your truck exactly as you want it like it used to be years ago.

I know for a fact that you can get the moonroof in the Lariat and higher trim levels and I would be very surprised if it's not available in the FX trim levels.

I wanted the Max Tow and Trailer Mirrors but the system at the dealer would not accept. Only way to get the max tow & mirrors is to go to Lariat 6.2L or EB.
Seems ridiculous. I will actually hold off ordering the truck for these two facts!!

OK some obvious things. (I have a better chance of Brooklyn Decker making my breakfast tomorow morning than you guys have of getting a full manual tranny)
I go to build a new 2011 on the Ford.ca site, and I find out I can't get Trailer TOW mirrors on a FX4 SCrew Lux w/Max TOW pkg. For the heck of it I build a Lariat SCrew with the 6.2L and I can't get the T TOW mirrors (again with the max TOW pkg) unless I get the old man chrome pkg?
OK anyone catching a trend?
No Trailer TOW mirrors with the max TOW pkg.
No Trailer TOW mirrors with the max TOW pkg.
No Trailer TOW mirrors with the max TOW pkg.
cough cough... Does someone at ol' Ford need to be fired?
Never mind previous point about a large tank with the Ford self described "TOWing engine".
Ford do the right thing (now after the fact) and announce the Job 2 2011 F150 will fix some of these obvious errors.

Ford was never planning on offering the 5.0 with max tow, and that is why its rating is only 10k lbs.
If you want the max tow components with the 5.0 then just buy the 3.73 rear end, the tow package and add the trailer brake controller. The only thing missing will be the hd rear bumper but you shouldn't be towing heavy with the bumper anyway. Oh, the max tow package also has a slightly different steering ratio.

As I recall looking at many 09's when they debuted, the reg trailier pkg is limited to 10k towing as thats they hitch limit. (stamp on the hitch frame)I think the "stronger" rear bumper also included and in fact is the rear hitch while the max tow units rear hitch stamp was higher by @ 1,500 lbs or there abouts... are diff classes can't recall exactly right now. One class 5 one class 4?

Sounds like if you need a max towing package you probably need to upgrade to a F250.
