That is just so insulting to the Ford owners, nothing says F- you to a Ford enthusiast than to make a tribute to their own car, and Ford flipping out in the process.

Here is a link to a copy of the Complaint.
Ford Sues Ferrari Over F-150 Trademark « AyrLaw: The Blog
It is well-written but not by a firm I am familiar with.
We may have to wait for motion practice to see who represents Ferrari.

Like Simba said, you have to be very vigilant about your IP, otherwise you can lose your protection.
This will almost certainly be resolved without going to trial.
What real investment does Ferrari have in naming the car F150?
I can't imagine them going to the mat over this.

Both of these are red though... Ford might have something here.
Kidding aside, I knew this was going to come sooner or later.
