I think it was on the SL and the Power Wagon only.

 

i dont mean to open an old can of worms, but i do know that the rear locker is offered in the fx4 models too, thats everyday f150 right there, but no long travel ifs or anything else.

 

The standard FX4 F150 has an E-Locker in the rearend for 09.

The Raptor has a 500hp 6.2L Boss engine. This will be detuned in 2010 or 2011 for the standard F150 to 400hp 400lb/ft. The current 5.4L is 310hp 390lb/ft.

The Ram is a better looking truck. Hell, the 08 F150 looks better than the 09 to me.

I definitely would retune the suspension to keep the truck from switching lanes when hitting a bump like mine does. Too soft. I hope stiffer shocks will help when the time comes to replace them. I don't know if the coil spring rear suspension helped this or not. Personally, I would have put stiffer leaf springs on the 1500 and moved the shocks to the outside of the frame for more stability instead of coil springs. If I wanted a smooth ride, I would have bought a Crown Vic.

As for payload, My 01 F150 that I traded in on my 08 Ram, didn't squat near as bad when I hooked up my empty car trailer. I have to put alot of tension on the equilizer bars on my hitch to help level it out. I guess I need to add a leaf.
