Dodge isn't the only one with a new pickup in Detroit. Ford showed the 2009 F-150, which continues the themes developed by the current-generation F-150: cleaner styling, revised engines (including a new mid-level V8 and an entry-level V8 that uses less fuel than the current V6), and more creature comforts than ever, including a new Platinum trim level. Like the Dodge, the new F-150 is, to my eye at least, a much better looking truck than the one it replaces.
