When will the 09's come out?

[JMA1181]

I had an 05 F350 and it got totalled about 3 weeks ago. I am looking at getting an 08 but thought since they brought out the 08's in early 07 that maybe they would release the 09's early too. Anyone have any ideas as to when the new ones will come out?
Thanks

hrmmm... generally the new model year comes out in the spring/summer...

I'll see what I can find out from my father-in-law

the 09's shouldnt be released until fall 08 I would think. I know they released the 08's early 07 but that was pretty much just a marketing thing.

Ford released the 08's in 07 because of the tougher emmisions for 07 made for the new 6.4 to be in the truck. To make this fit they had to design the front end over around the bigger coolers required for the 6.4. So why do this mid 07? So they just went with the 08 model to boost sales over the others instead of making the switch like they did with the F-150 a few years ago with the "heritage package" wich was actually an older body style truck in the same year as the newer body style. So basically it just stopped from having an 07.5 Superduty wich is actually what my truck is since the build date is 02-07.

Any diesel made in 07 needed to meet the emissions with DPFs.
