2008 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150

BY JARED GALL

As promised, Ford will deliver a full run of anniversary H-D trucks in 2008.

When we first drove the 2007 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 Supercharged, we reported that the supercharged engine”originally planned for production in 2008”was a last-minute addition to the line for 2007 in response to consumer interest in the F-150 FX2 Extreme truck shown at the 2006 SEMA show.

Ford promised we’d see a full run of trucks in 2008, with special paint and badging to commemorate Harley-Davidson’s 105th anniversary.



That truck has officially been announced, and Ford has released these photos. Mechanically, the 2008 H-D F-150 is identical to the 2007 model, both in naturally aspirated and supercharged forms. But the 2008 gets a new paint job, new wheels, and special 105th-anniversary badges.

Inside, the seats are wrapped in two-tone black and tan leather to match the exterior. Black and tan is a long way from the garish black and orange on Harley Fords of yesteryear, but on the supercharged models of today, there’s plenty of audacious under the hood.
