Floor Cooler - Yup, It's A Cooler. Was Hoping It Had A Drain Plug but It Looks to Just Pull Out to Fill/Drain.

IMHO: The Rear 4 Link Coil Suspension Set Me Back. Reminded me of The Grand Cherokee Rear. Not Sure How It Will Hold Up Towning...[sm=confused06.gif]


That's All - Noting Was "Touchable".

Grabbed My Camera, Then Realized I Left The SD Card At My Shop [:@]Had to Use Internal Memory

I'll Agree, I Want One Now. Although Im Not "That Guy" - Who Has To be The First to Have One. With The New Rear Drivetrain, Plus A Couple of Brand New Features.. I'll Let Them Work Out The Twirks the First Production Year..

You'll See Me With One of These End of The Year 2010.. It's Not That Far Away.

I'll be test driving one of these just for sh*ts and giggles, however I'll be waiting until at least the '10 model before I make a purchase. I am that guy that likes new models to prove themselves first...

Nice pics man. I can't wait to see what they do with the 2500/3500 I might be in the market for one of those in a few years. I like the new front end.Looks mean.

The Very First Pic I Saw Was The Blue One In The Desert. I Love It!

Seing It In Person Makes The Transition Less Overwhelming.. It Really Grew On Me

I will not be in the market for a new truck until there isn't replacement parts for mine anymore.

I actually love this new Truck.....kinda weird how dodge has switched upt here Design so much.....i think there current body 07-08 is the best looking. kinda wish they were gonna make it longer. But oh well. This is a Beautiful truck and i cant wait to see one on the road.

After spending so much time under the back end of my 1998 1500, I couldn't help but notice the distinct similarity of the rear differential cover between the '98 and the '09. Namely, that it looked IDENTICAL to the one on my 1998. I hope that the rear differential issues have been cleared up!

I think its UGLY! Ford moved the shifter on I think 07's F-150's. The front grill slopes in too much. Just not my style, too gaudy.

They wanted it to look agressive and like it was moving like the Charger.

Best pics on the net. Thanks for that. It sits nice and low, low in the front too compared to last gen. I have a bad feeling there will never be a real lift kit for this truck lol.

Dunno why......

Awesome looking though.
