Ford's 2009 F-450 Harley-Davidson Edition: The Self-Described "Big Hog Daddy of the Road"

If last year's Harley edition Ford F-150 wasn't manly enough for ya, the 2009 Harley-Davidson F-450 should put some serious hair on your chest: packing a 6.4L Power Stroke V-8 Turbo Diesel, Harley branding throughout, and- um, blue flames running from the side vents across the side of the truck, this mongo-sized dualie looks capable of crushing unsuspecting motorists without breaking a sweat. Passengers can also enjoy flamed leather trim and instrumentation while they scoff at unsuspecting econobox drivers- all while flashing "the wave" at oncoming Hog riders.

For '09, Ford is offering loads of functional options like a military spec spray-in bed liner and SIRIUS Travel Link, but it's the brash Harley package that will vie for the attention of two-wheeled enthusiasts-- which I can't help but think is an indication of what the car world thinks of the motorcycle population.
