Executive Summary

DBRS has assigned preliminary ratings to the Ford Credit Auto Owner Trust 2009-D as listed above. The Ford Credit Auto Owner Trust 2009-D (FCAOT 2009-D) transaction represents the 32nd public securitization of FMCC’s retail auto loans. The FCAOT 2009-D trust assets include: the receivables stemming from new and used car and light truck loans; the security interests in the financed vehicle; proceeds from any insurance claims on the vehicles or obligors; the reserve account; and rights under the transaction documents for the repurchase of ineligible receivables, and purchase of servicer impaired receivables and servicer modified receivables. Information and statistics included in this report have been obtained from the FCAOT 2009-D preliminary prospectus, SEC filings or FMCC annual reports, unless otherwise referenced.

The FCAOT 2009-D transaction represents a return to a structure last used in the FCAOT 2008-C transaction. In between, the three transactions issued (FCAOT 2009-A, B and C) included only class A notes, meaning no subordination, and higher levels of overcollateralization (see Table D in the Credit Enhancement section below for a comparison of recent transaction structures).

Ford Motor Credit Company LLC (Sponsor)

Ford Credit Auto Receivables Two LLC

(Depositor)

Yield Supplement Overcollateralization Amount (YSOA) The 2009-D transaction includes a YSOA to provide overcollateralization by boosting the yield on receivables with low annual percent rates (APRs). The YSOA for each payment date approximates the present value of the amount by which future payments on receivables with APRs below a specified rate are less than future payments would be on such receivables if their APRs were equal to the specified rate. For the FCAOT 2009-D transaction, the specified rate is 11.75%. As a result of including the YSOA, overcollateralization for the transaction reaches 10.93%. However, since the YSOA is not available to cover collateral defaults, the overcollateralization is also reported as a percentage of the adjusted pool balance (i.e. the pool balance minus the YSOA).

Rating Considerations

Strengths Challenges (1) The FCAOT 2009-D transaction has positive

structural features, including: a. A non-declining reserve account that is fully

funded at closing (equal to 1.0% of the initialpool balance;

b. A targeted overcollateralization amount with atarget of 1.5% of the current pool balance;

c. A Yield Supplement OvercollateralizationAmount to boost the yield on the underlyingreceivables pool.

(1) The current recession continues to result in widespread, weak performance by U.S. consumers that may affect the performance on the trust’s collateral pool.

(2) The parent company of FMCC, Ford Motor Company, has experienced significant stress in its financial performance over the past several years. Although the company has made strides to improve its operating results, it continues to face substantial pressure stemming from the weak state of the global economy.

od. A “priority” pay cash flow waterfall that ensures

that the targeted overcollateralization level isreached before excess spread can be released to the holder of the residual interest.

(2) The collateral pool supporting the FCAOT 2009-D notes has similar characteristics to the pools supporting previous FCAOT transactions, which have displayed stable and consistent performance over time.

(3) 75.9% of the collateral pool consists of loans in the top two credit underwriting tiers.

(4) The collateral pool is serviced by FMCC, which isan experienced and sophisticated auto loan servicer.

(5) The ability of the transaction to pass cash flow stresses at the requisite rating levels.

(3) The collateral pool contains a higher percentage of light trucks (71.9%), which tend to be more sensitive to fluctuations in gasoline process and thus have more volatile resale values.

Priority of Payments

The Notes receive interest and principal sequentially from available funds collected during the collection period. Available funds include interest and principal collections on the underlying collateral, amounts paid to the trust by the depositor or FMCC to repurchase ineligible receivables or by the servicer to purchase servicer impaired receivables or receivables modified by the servicer for the preceding month and amounts withdrawn from the reserve account.

The class A-1 notes include a “turbo” feature, whereby after the payment of all senior fees and expenses, typical note interest and principal equal to interest and principal collections, the class A-1 notes will receive additional principal payments in advance of any funds being released to the holder of the residual interest. After the class A-1 notes are paid in full, such excess available funds are applied to pay principal on the remaining notes sequentially in an amount sufficient to achieve the Targeted Overcollateralization Amount (see Credit Enhancement section below for the definition of Targeted Overcollateralization Amount). Table A below summarized the priority of payments for the trust.

Table A: Priority of Payments: 1 Trustee fees and expenses, capped at an annual amount of $150,000 per year. 2 Servicing fee (monthly 1/12 of 1.0%). 3 Class A note interest. 4 Class A note principal equal to the First Priority Principal Payment1

5 Class B note interest. 6 Class A and B note principal equal to the Second Priority Principal Payment2

7 Class C note interest. 8 Class A, B and C note principal equal to the Third Priority Principal Payment3

9 Class D note interest. 10 To the reserve account up to the original reserve account balance. 11 Note principal, sequentially, equal to the Regular Principal Payment4.12 Additional trustee fees and expenses. 13 To the holder of the residual interest. 1 The “First Priority Principal Payment” is an amount equal to the excess of the principal amount of the class A notes as

of the end of the preceding payment date over the Adjusted Pool Balance. The “Adjusted Pool Balance” is the pool balance reduced by the yield supplement overcollateralization amount.

2 The “Second Priority Principal Payment” is an amount equal to (1) the excess of the principal amount of the class A and B notes as of the end of the preceding payment date over the Adjusted Pool Balance, minus (2) the amount of any First Priority Principal Payment.

3 The “Third Priority Principal Payment” is an amount equal to (1) the excess of the principal amount of the class A, B and C notes as of the end of the preceding payment date over the Adjusted Pool Balance, minus (2) the amount of any

Page 4: Ford Credit Auto Owner Trust 2009-D

First Priority Principal Payment and Second Priority Principal Payment.4 The “Regular Principal Payment” includes the class A-1 turbo feature described above and for other classes of notes is

an amount that pays principal to the extent required to reach the Targeted Overcollateralization Amount before any funds are distributed to the holder of the residual interest. The Regular Principal Payment is equal to: (I) the greater of (a) the principal amount of the class A-1 notes as of the end of the preceding payment date and (b) the excess of the principal amount of the notes over an amount equal to the pool balance minus the Targeted Overcollateralization Amount, minus (II) any First, Second and Third Priority Principal Payments.

If the notes are accelerated following an Event of Default (see Events of Default section below), accrued interest will be paid on the class A Notes pro rata and principal on the class A Notes sequentially, followed by the payment of interest and principal on the class B, C, and D Notes only after all senior ranking notes are paid in full.

The trust contains a clean-up call whereby the servicer will have the option to purchase all of the remaining receivables when the outstanding balance is equal or less than 5% of the initial pool balance.

Collateral Overview and Analysis

DBRS relied upon the historical performance displayed by FMCC’s managed portfolio and static pool analysis of previous FMCC-sponsored public securitizations to derive cash flow stress assumptions (see Expected Loss, Prepayment and Loss Timing Assumptions section below for details on the assumptions and stresses). The general characteristics and performance of the managed portfolio is summarized in Table B below. The graphs representing the performance of the managed portfolio and public FCAOT securitizations are found in the following charts below.

Overview of Managed Portfolio Performance DBRS reviewed the performance of FMCC’s managed portfolio of active retail auto contracts on a static pool basis from January 2002 to March 2009. The data was stratified by “new” versus “used”, by “car” versus “light truck”, and further by “subvented” versus “non-subvented” loans. The analysis of cumulative net losses yielded the following observations:

• Generally, used vehicle originations performed better than new across all credit tiers. • Subvented loans performed better than non-subvented loans regardless of vehicle type (i.e. car

versus truck) • The performance of the FCAOT securitization trusts is consistent with the performance of FMCC’s

managed portfolio.

FCAOT 2009-D Collateral Portfolio

The receivables in the FCAOT 2009-D collateral pool were randomly selected by FMCC from its portfolio of retail installment sale contracts that meet certain selection criteria. The selection criteria include that, as of the cutoff date, each receivable:

• is a simple interest receivable with level monthly payments and an original term of not greater than 72 months,

• is not more than 30 days delinquent (FMCC considers a receivable delinquent if more than $49.99 of a scheduled payment is overdue),

• has not been extended or rewritten, and• is not subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.

Credit Enhancement Credit enhancement for the notes is provided in the form of subordination, a reserve account, overcollateralization and excess spread. After applying DBRS stress scenarios relative to the respective rating categories, DBRS has determined that the total credit enhancement available on the Notes is adequate to cover expected losses at each class’ respective rating category. The components of credit enhancement for the 2009-D Notes and other recent FCAOT transactions are summarized in Table D below.

Reserve Account At closing, the Reserve Account will be fully funded in an amount equal to $24,999,985, or 1.00% of the initial pool balance (including the YSOA). The Reserve Account is non-declining and, therefore, may provide increasing credit support as the Notes amortize, provided losses are covered by excess spread.

Overcollateralization The initial pool balance (including the YSOA) will exceed the aggregate principal amount of issued Notes by $273,298,528, or 10.93%. On an adjusted pool balance basis (excluding the YSOA), the aggregate principal amount of issued Notes exceeds the adjusted pool balance by $43,748, 684, or 2.0%, meaning that at issuance the trust is undercollateralized by (2.0%).

The transaction structure includes a targeted overcollateralization amount equal to the sum of the YSOA plus the excess, if any, of (a) 1.50% of the current pool balance over (b) 1.00% of the initial pool balance (which is also the size of the reserve account). The targeted overcollateralization amount will, therefore, adjust each month depending on the decrease in the collateral pool (due to principal collections plus chargeoffs on defaulted receivables) and the decline of the YSOA. When the pool amortizes to the point at which 1.50% of the current pool balance is equal to or less than 1.00% of the initial pool balance, the targeted overcollateralization amount will equal solely the amount of the YSOA.

Because of the floor amount built into the targeted overcollateralization amount calculation, once the target is reached, the overall level of credit enhancement for the outstanding notes will increase as the transaction amortizes, provided losses are covered by excess spread and the reserve account.

Page 10: Ford Credit Auto Owner Trust 2009-D

Excess Spread Excess spread at closing is estimated to be 7.1% (see Table D for details). Excess spread is derived from the yield on the underlying retail loan collateral plus the YSOA, less the trusts cost of funds, servicing fee, and losses. Excess spread will be used in addition to collections on the collateral portfolio to pay down Notes to the extent required to achieve the targeted overcollateralization amount.

Expected Loss, Prepayment and Loss Timing Assumptions

Base Case Loss AssumptionsAn analysis was conducted on the performance of FMCC’s managed portfolio of active retail auto contracts on a static pool basis from January 2002 to March 2009. The data was stratified by “new” versus “used”, by “car” versus “light truck”, and further by “subvented” versus “non-subvented” loans (see table below).

A base case cumulative loss assumption of 3.2% was derived from an analysis of how each sub-segment within the managed portfolio performed. To arrive at the CNL, the highest CNL performance observed for any time frame for each sub-segment (e.g. “used, car, non-subvened, tier 2”) was used to derive the most conservative aggregate base case for that sub-segment on a weighted average basis for the FCAOT 2009-D pool. The base case CNL assumption does not reflect the seasoning of the pool.

Cash Flow Modeling: The FCAOT 2009-D transaction was modeled for AAA, AA, A, and BB rating categories. The multiples applied to the CNL at each rating category fell within the standard ranges, described below:

Rating Category Multiple to CNL AAA 4 – 6x AA 3 – 4x A 2 – 3x

BB 1.2 – 1.5x

Prepayments were applied according to the following curves:

Loss timing assumptions applied in the cash flow scenarios reflect a front-loaded loss timing curve derived from a study of historical loss performance of more than 500 auto loan ABS transactions (for more details see the Loss Timing Curve section of DBRS Rating Criteria – U.S Auto Asset-Backed Securities: Net Interest Margins (NIMs), December 2005). The loss curve applied in the cash flow scenarios spans four years with losses occurring at the following rate: 40% in year one, 30% in year two, 20% in year three and 10% in year four.

Receivable Origination and Servicing

FMCC is the originator and servicer of the receivables.

The Depositor is responsible for repurchasing ineligible receivables which have a material adverse effect on the trust and for which it has not cured the cause of the ineligibility. Similarly, the Servicer is responsible for repurchasing receivables which it has impaired and has not cured the impairment, as well as receivables it has modified in certain ways, including: (1) granting payment extensions that extend the final payment date of the receivable beyond six months past the last scheduled payment date of any receivable in the securitized pool and (2) if it modifies the amount financed or the annual percentage rate of the receivable or rewrites or reschedules the contract to increase the number of originally scheduled due dates of the receivable.

Events of Default Notable events of default under the indenture include: (1) Failure to pay interest due on the controlling class notes. (2) Failure to pay principal on the scheduled final maturity date for any class of notes. (3) Breach of covenants or representations by the issuer not cured within 60 days. (4) Bankruptcy or dissolution of the trust.

LegalDBRS expects to the Depositor to receive legal opinions at closing that indicate that (1) the registration of the vehicle financing statements (and where applicable various forms of retail installment contracts) in certain high concentration jurisdictions (i.e., California) are valid and enforceable, (2) the transaction documents are valid and enforceable, (3) the sale of the receivables from the Sponsor to the Depositor will be properly characterized as a true sale if the Sponsor were to become a debtor in a case for relief under the Bankruptcy Code, and (4) the security interest created in favor of the Indenture Trustee over the trust assets is valid and enforceable.
