2009 New Trucks: The Hooks They Have to Get You Hooked

 

The Hook: 2009 Ford F-150

Rumors persist that the top-line engine in the 2009 Ford F-150 won't make much more power or torque than the outgoing model, a pity, since pokey performance has been a complaint about the current F-150 since its 2004 introduction. However, Ford is hoping you'll overlook what's under the hood for what's out back: a group of clever upgrades to the cargo area that Ford says are industry firsts. For example, the F-150 tailgate will have an available built-in step, allowing better access to the bed. Stepside models will have a fold-out step, making it easier to get into the cargo area. Plus there will be a closable and lockable Midbox on some Ford F-150 models, allowing out-of-sight cargo capacity for those who need it.
