  I didnt need a new truck - 2009 Ford F-150
  By Bart - May 15 - 5:39 pm

  2009 F150 4x4 FX4 SC 5.4, with 3.73 rear locker, 145" WB. I traded in my 05 F150 with only 20K miles for this truck, I didnt need a new truck because there was nothing wrong with my old truck,,,,,,, but I was so impressed with the quiet ride I bought it.

  Platinum Review - Best Truck, Period.. - 2009 Ford F-150
  By Scott K - May 12 - 8:37 pm

  Traded a Chevy for a new Ford. This has the luxury for the needed night out and the toughness expected. The SYNC is great. I love the truck. My only problem, so does my wife...

  Update- read before you buy! - 2009 Ford F-150
  By dvick - May 4 - 10:36 am

  Previously wrote a review. HEres the bottom line. Love most things about the truck, but heres my beefs after 1,000 miles (Platinum Version)- I have a very bad back and initially thought the seats would be comfortable, but between the fact that the steering wheel is such a long reach once seat and pedals adjusted all the way to the floor, and because the top of the seat tilts forward, it is not comfortable at all for more than 5 minutes- to 99% of people, this would be no problem. Also, the steering wheel has two problems- if youre tall like me (61"), your knees will hit the back of the steering wheel, kind of aggravating. This thing desperately needs telescopic wheel. Mileage in town 14

  old to new - 2009 Ford F-150
  By homer simpson - April 30 - 8:45 pm

  Well my 1985,302,fi, finally went to help some concrete from falling down (sadness). But alass i have found another truck to love for 300000 miles. The power when punched with the H.O. 4.6 is surprizing. It will cause ur wallet to empty at the tire store. The inside is a great update from my old tank. the sound from the 6 cd sirrus radio is beautiful. the seats are comfortable and the room is big enough for a dead body with the back seats up. the outside styling is another reason to buy this truck. the new styled tailgate that weighs half of the 85s and the chrome grill is an eye catcher. The new alloy wheels are another great update. I compare it to my 85 but the wife drives an 05 4dr.

  All trucks compromise this one does best - 2009 Ford F-150
  By CWD in AR - April 30 - 2:50 pm

  The new 6-speed automatic takes a little getting used to, since the first 3 gears are spaced so close together (3rd gear by 20 mph). But it allows for better fuel mileage and towing, so its worth it. Yes, as the other reviews have mentioned the stationary head rest takes some getting used to, but its rarely an issue. Very smooth ride, quiet, and stylish. The Lariat interior (spring for the captains chairs with the floor shift) is very, very nice. There are so many little features that add to the comfort of this truck that youll still be discovering (and appreciating) them a few weeks in. Give it a test drive, youll be surprised how nice it is.

  Go for the Platinum-BUY AMERICAN! - 2009 Ford F-150
  By dvick - April 15 - 2:50 pm

  Looked at everything on market- saw the competitive videos that Ford did, that, plus the fact that it is an IIHS Safety pick made the decision-even tough I liked the looks of the Dodge better. Go for the Platinum, you get the deployable running boards, infinitely adjustable tilt wheel and much more for less than $1G more than the KRanch. Others talked about the headrests, they can be bent back out of the way w/out hurting the seat. Only have about 275 miles, all in town, getting about 12mpg, about as expected. This is one ritzy truck, rides like a Caddy, hauls like a Superduty safe, strong, well built- cant go wrong! Will update later when I know more about MPG over long haul.

  FX-4 ROCKS!!! - 2009 Ford F-150
  By j.m. - April 14 - 3:36 pm

  I keep writing reports because everyone must know how great Ford Trucks are. I just sold my 05 FX-4 with 92,000 for $15,000 and that truck was great. Not one single problem! I have had this 09 since late October, and between horse trailering and work, I have accumulated 17,600 miles. Friend and I did 2800 mile roadtrip from NJ to FL in Feb. and I ave. 19.1 mpg doing 75 with ac on and that includes the Orlando and Miami Beach traffic ( and I have the biggest combo Supercrew 4x4 with 6.5 ft bed and 3.73 rear and 5.4) The ride and handling are great. I pulled a car trailer loaded with 69 Torino and 73 Suburban at the same time for 80 miles, no problem. This is simply the best truck on the road!

  Drive the Ford LAST! - 2009 Ford F-150
  By GOTOPLESS - April 14 - 10:26 am

  I have owned them all. The last was the Toyota Limited Tundra. Yea, it is nice, but....IT WAS NOT A FORD. Ford has built a great all around truck. Easy to drive, park, haul, pull, ect. Plenty of power, great improvement in transmission, descent gas mileage, backup camera is a must for the boat pullers. No hoopla. GREAT TRUCK!

  Best Ford EVER! - 2009 Ford F-150
  By Firemark - April 14 - 4:57 am

  Ive owned several Toyotas, just sold my O4 CrewCab Tundra. I was blown away with the quality and features of the Platinum F150. This holds up well past the first impression. Now have over 3,500 miles in 3 months and havent found any flaws. Interior room is cavernous and perfectly appointed. The reason I bought this was the rear floor space when you fold up the seats. New Tundras have NO floor space in back since seats only fold down. The Synch system took longer to learn than all other features. The blue- Tooth phone provides the best quality call ever, even vs the handset on the phone. Gas mileage exceeds my old Tundra, never less that 13.5 with best 15.5 on a highway trip.

  Love The Truck-but it needs a Nose Job - 2009 Ford F-150
  By dvickers - April 6 - 12:55 pm

  Havent purchased one yet, but soon will-looked at everything else- really liked the dodge, but safety rating on Dodge(side crash) unnaceptable. Superior ride, billet solid, no squeaks. Seats MUCH more supportive than last model, last one hurt my back after only 10 minutes. Ford did their homework-anti-trailer sway control might save your life-only thing I disliked is the gawdawful grill-Im from TX, where everything is big, but they went overboard! Last models grill much more attractive. Will purchase Platinum vs King Ranch- price it out, theres less than $1,000 difference, and you get the automatic running boards that are actually in the right place to use as a step when deployed.
