I only hope the new 5.4L will put out the #'s the revised 5.7 will. And as for the 6.2L, Dodge already has the 6.1L Hemi which matches the hp of the 6.2L and has more tq than the 6.2L also.
Has the interior layout of the F150 really changed that much? Doesn't look like it to me.

go away ya ****in troll. the 5.4 will not match the 5.7 because its a 6+ year old engine. The 6.2 will match and exceed the "revised" 5.7. I didnt realize the front fascia and tailights equaled the front end, hood, quarter panels, tailgate, rear end, transmission, and interior console.

It looks good for sure! From the side though... you could take an 06 07 or 08 put the 09 wheels on it, put the tailgates up, and they don't look that different. They may have tweeked some things on the quarter panels, but it looks really similar from the side. I do like the step behind the back door to get to the tailgate... nice touch.

Keep in mind, this is my opinion. It's seems I've already offended one fanboy....

ive said this before but ill say it now, ford didnt need to completely redesign a truck from scratch... The truck was only 4 years old.. The previous f150 stayed the same for 6-7 years. This is a good redesign but not an overhaul. Ford's problem was with the lack of power, not the lack of design......

Side windows, door handles, box, rear bumper, mirrors, wheel wells, box ( exception on taillights ) look really simular.

The 6.2 should be a late spring entry engine and maybe introduced as an early 2010. The 6.7 Scorpion diesel for the SuperDuty should make it's appearance in 2011 if all emmissions certifications/testing works out. Look for the 5.4 to be replaced with the 5.8 probably as a 2011 or2012 model. Look for Ford to be moving into high pressure gas direct injected engines. The HP/Tq gains are fabulous for small engines like a 6 banger making 400 HP/ 450 lbs Tq with twin turbos. Fuel mileage is up on these about 30% over a similiar HP engine. While Ford may not the #1 car maker today, they haven't been asleep and there are many new technologies coming out from them to put them back as the best and the newest. It's going to be an exciting decade for Ford.

Other than all these changes I guess they do look similar, I mean the blue oval is right in the middle on all of them.

ETA: The doors are supposed to be the same size in front now. No more longer doors on the SCABS, short doors on the SCREW and REG CAB.
