Crazy numbers from turbocharging and direct injection - definitely the wave of the future. Kudos to Ford. JoE – That new EcoBoost motor is going to be big I think.

I agree this package was a bit of a let down but still a good idea by Ford as I'm sure they'll sell plenty of them. The real fuel savings will be coming in 2010 with the ecoboost v6 which combined with the new 5.0 and 6.2 v8s will no doubt keep the F-150 the best selling vehicle in the world for some time to come.

Quality for the F-150 is good now but back in my 03 it wasn't and the service I got wasn't also. I won't ever look at a Ford again. What ever trips your trigger.

I thought my '06 150 4x4 was smooth but the new '09 blows it out of the water. I would sacrifice a few MPGs for a quality truck any day. The 2009 F-150 rides like a dream.

Keep in mind that most independent testers have placed the F150's fuel economy in the same range as the Tundra, the GM trucks, and the Ram. That advantage is on paper only my friend.

Ford produces well built trucks. Their problem is fuel economy and poor use of mechanical technology. Don’t knock it. Ford produces well built trucks.
