Ford finally releases pics of the F-150 Lariat Limited (w/ video)
Click image for gallery
The 2008 Ford F-150 Lariat Limited was announced weeks ago by Ford, but the Oval only just got around to releasing a couple of photos of it. We don't know what took them so long, seeing as this Lariat's a bit of a looker. Sporting a White Sand Metallic finish that also trims the grillework and the factory 22-inchers, the snappy-looking SuperCrew doesn't stop there. Chrome running boards, gray headlight bezels, smoked taillamp lenses, a two-tone leather-trimmed interior and some other cabin accents round out the new limited package. Sorry, no pricing yet. Maybe one of these days, Ford'll actually get around to releasing a shot of the fancy interior, too.
UPDATE: Video added after the jump, including interior. Thanks, Zymo.

The Tundra does not stand a chance with competitors like this.

The Tundra does not stand a chance with just about anything.

Explain what looking "gayish" means.

Doesn't look significantly different than the current F150 does- wasn't the '08 said to be "all new"? If so, why did they bother? Nice looking truck that basically will go unnoticed in traffic, at least around here where every other vehicle on the road is an F150 of some sort.
Nasty color, too. Wait til someone tries to match THAT after a scratch or fender bender!

Actually, the "all- new" Ford F-150 will be the 2009 model year. They continue to add options and equipment to the current rig to stay fresh against the likes of the competition. I personally cannot wait to see what the '09 will look like. Also, I sure do hope they increase power in their engines.

OK, I'm getting a year ahead of myself, apparently. I'd like to see a small diesel (150-200 hp) in the F150 with about, oh, 235 ft-lb torque, in a work truck. Not all of us have monster trailers or huge loads to haul around, but there are a lot of us who'd like to have the efficiency- and often lower fuel costs- of a diesel, in a truck. And they need to pay attention to the work truck end of the spectrum, too- you know, the versions with manual windows, manual transmissions and vinyl floor coverings. Very hard to find such a truck in this area; everybody buys the luxoboats. Keep it SIMPLE!

They are a do everything vehicle. Back in the 70`s cars were capible of pulling trailers. Now days if you do anything beyond transporting people you need a truck of some sort.

I drive a BMW 4.8is and it will pull anything that old Ford will pull and more! Besides, I can take a turn without risk... and i can brake.. it will do 145mph and it looks good.

Lets hit the trails buddy,this is a true 4x4 , Then we'll haul some gravel and sheets of plywood, and put 4 guys fairly comfortably in there while we do it.
Hate to say it but thats a damn good looking ford.

Your Beeeeemer will be good at towing a lawnmower. Strap a covered 24' trailer with a race car to that thing and watch how crappy it is. You fraud.

Where do you put the fifth wheel? On the roof?
Stephen 3:52PM (6/24/2007)
Except, of course, for the simple fact that quantitative data proves that the X5 4.8i won't actually out-tow an F-150...

Hey Devin, dont get upset. Sometime the truth hurts.. Have the cookie yourself!

Oh great, can you do me a favour then? I have a motorcycle I need you to put in the back of your BMW, do you think you could pick it up this afternoon?

FAB 10:29AM (6/24/2007)
Sure, I'll hook up to the back, no probs.
Ryan 10:28AM (6/24/2007)
I have nothing against SUV owners, as a matter of fact I am the owner of a Grand Cherokee. However, no SUV ca do what a pick up can. Let me know when you want to take a trip to the rubicon with that BMW and I will be there to pull you back out
