When you think about it ~38,000 for a new truck with the stuff already on it isn't all that bad. You can buy a new Silverado, put lift, wheels, tires, etc on it and have around 40,000 in it too. I may have to check them out when I get back from Afghanistan in about a year and a half. Give them time to work the bugs out and for the 6.2.

And Ford = NOT bankrupt = R&D = new truck coming out = full of win

I want to know what the towing capacity is on it. Still have to tow my boat and enclosed trailer.

From MotorTrend.

6000 lbs towing, not too shabby, little less than my VMax, but not bad for a 1/2 ton. I may have to convince the wife to let me get one of these next :secret:. But like I said before, have to wait a couple years so they work the NEW bugs outta them before I buy one, oh and I want the 6.2!

if they would put a 6.0 or 6.2 with the new six speed a 14 sf, a 9.25 front diff in a half ton with decent suspension under it like the raptor. i would buy one on monday

:big_banana_Dance: Already have most of that.

yeah the exterior of the 04-08 is better, however the interiors are way better in the 09's, sitting in the platinum is fucking great, heated/cooled seats, they even come with amp steps on them, but also a hefty price tag....but you can get the internet navi unit, a wireless printer, just overall awesome IMO ...if i didn't wanna build a new house i would be ordering one of those platinum's

A wireless printer? I can't tell you how many times I have been driving down the road or out hunting and wished I had a printer in my truck! :rofljest:
