I'd blow a load

haha me 2!!! jk but that would be amazing! i have diesel in my blood... if i could bathe in it without being completely insane i would, maybe...

If a small truck almost costs the same as the F-150 and gets similar milage, making it even bigger won't help the problem.

4.4 v8 diesel will! I would buy one if it means selling my own blood and or any willing womans body.

if it's 2010, that would be a 2011 model year.... otherwise this is the last year they are manufacturing the trucks....

what they built the second half of '08 was the '09s... they build until jun/jul and retool.... though depending on demand they cut a shift or two the first half of the new calander year...

I work for a steel company (severstal international) that supplies sheet steel to the auto makers and suppliers... they usually slow down their orders until the second or third month of the new year... then they buy up more steel.

Nothing the matter with a unibody. Dodge vans, Jeep Cherokee's, all those old Mopar musclecars--Road Runners etc, VW busses--

This is the bottom of a VW buss. It's nothing like an old Mustang with two little bits of subframe bolted to the body. All a unit body means is they welded the frame to the body. At least the frame on the newer unibody stuff (bottom is the Ridgeline) runs outside the edge so when you get t-boned, your ass is inside the frame instead of outside.

UGLY

ford has really bad cup holder designs! '90s escort, they were out lined circles 1/4 deep, my old ranger didnt have any, '96 explorer's has two that are shaped like a figure 8, and cant fit two cups at once! the new mustang has a small one and big one, very annoying because you cant have a large drink and the passanger has to get a small. its such a small thing, but really, why dont companies make good cup holders? actually my '95 ranger 5spd has good ones, thats about it!

sorry to get off topic!

We are lucky to have any! My 94' Jaguar didn't even have cup holders. So, even though the ones in my 5 speed suck they are better than not having any.
