    Why can't they bring one here? Ang dami nito dati, everyone was crazy drooling this beast before. Why can't they introduce the one now? This has the same case with Silverado...

    After months of spy photos and leaks, Ford has finally unveiled its redesigned 2009 F-150 pickup, which has received heavily revised styling to reflect Ford's new design language.

    Now in its twelfth generation, Ford has made the move to keep its top-selling vehicle competitive with the likes of the Toyota Tundra and new Dodge Ram.

    While the new truck's exterior isn't a dramatic departure from the old model in terms of size or proportions, the changes are more than skin deep.

    The improvement starts with the F-150’s fully boxed frame constructed with hydro-formed and high strength steel side rails. The new frame is lighter, yet it delivers 10 percent more torsional rigidity, which delivers increased durability and safety.

    The sturdy yet light chassis also allows the tough truck to deliver more horsepower, better fuel economy and safety, and additional towing and payload capacity.

    The F-150’s pickup box is made easier to use, more flexible and accessible with such new features as Ford’s Tailgate and Box Side Steps, Stowable Bed Extender and Cargo Management System.

    New Interior

    The interior of the new 2009 F-150 SuperCrew offers more usable space for moving more people and gear thanks to a 6-inch stretch that improves rear seat legroom and cargo capacity. The second-row seat flips up and out of the way when necessary. Combined with a truly flat load floor, the feature gives the new SuperCrew class leading 57.6 cubic feet of space behind the front seats and can accommodate items up to 47.9 inches tall.

    The flow-through console has been lengthened by approximately 2 inches and is large enough to stow two or more laptop computers. Special ridges are molded into the edges of the bin to accommodate file folders. The console also has a multi-tiered, removable tray and locks to protect valuables.

    More than 30 storage areas are built into the interior, ranging from a bin on the top of the instrument panel to a number of small spaces designed to accommodate tools like cell phones, MP3 players, PDAs and gate access cards.

    Configurations

    With three cab styles, four box options and seven unique trim levels, the F-150 comes in 35 different configurations to meet the widest range of customer needs and wants – all delivered with quality.

    Customers can choose from the no-fuss XL workhorse, to the sporty STX and off-road capable FX4, to the mid-range XLT. For those looking for tough luxury, Ford offers the high-end Lariat and King Ranch F-150 models.
    2009 Ford F-150 Platinum

    New for the 2009 F-150 is the Platinum series, the most luxurious F-150 ever, features a satin chrome grille with fine mesh inserts, 10-way captain’s chairs upholstered with top-quality leather, tuxedo stitching and embroidered logos on the seatbacks. Satin gloss Lacrosse Ash wood grain accents and real brushed aluminum panels give the dash, center console and doors an upscale look and feel. Standard 20-inch, 16-spoke polished aluminum wheels give the truck added road presence.

    Engines

    A choice of three improved V8 engines are offered, all of which deliver better fuel economy. They include: a 5.4-liter, 3-valve Triton V8, 4.6-liter, 3-valve V8, and a 4.6-liter, 2-valve V8.

    Diesel and EcoBoost gas turbo direct injection engines are planned for F-150 in 2010 as well.

    Customers have a choice of four- and six-speed automatics.

    Hi-tech features

    Customers can order the F-150 with Ford SYNC, which is a voice-activated, hands-free, in-vehicle communications and entertainment system. Sirius Travel Link and voice-activated navigation are also available. If entertainment is a priority, customers can select a 700-watt Sony surround sound system.

    I think the market in the Philippines for the new F-150 is very lean.
    Ford has in mind overseas orders like the Saudis where American gas guzzlers cars abound. Another market is the US war effort. One can find the F-350 double rear tyres in Coalition/American bases somewhere in Iraq.

    Finally a diesel engine on an F-150. I think that's going to be my next 4x4 unless Jeep come out with the diesel for the US Wrangler Unlimited.

    It looks like a Tonka truck to me. Not that it's a bad thing but I think it looks more no nonsense than the previous aerodynamic ideas that they tried so hard to rub in.

    It was mainly because of the "Gaszilla" Triton engine that made the resale value drop like the dow jones index on the previous models so I am optimistic about this diesel version which may appeal to our economy.

    Say, does the 52" flat panel lcd tv at the back comes with it or is that a dealer option?
