  • Bad Investment - 2008 Ford F-150
    By -

    I acquired a F-150 for a heavy work load. Big mistake. This vehicle would be good for occasional work and commuting, but has limited capabilities. It is underpowered, loud, poor gas mileage, and unreliable. I spent a small fortune keeping this truck running. I replaced this truck as quickly as financially possible.

  • Wow! - 2008 Ford F-150
    By -

    I have owned this decked out King Ranch a while now and gotta say that I am extremely impressed with the build quality of Ford. I had a 2006 Dodge diesel 4x4 that had given me so many problems that I was really worried about getting into another American made truck. All I can say is wow!

  • Basic truck - 2008 Ford F-150
    By -

    I was looking for my first truck not car. I knew I wanted a real vehicle. This is it. Good power. Below average gas mileage was expected. About 15-17 city and 22-25 highway. The 4.6l V8 has plenty of power. The only thing I regret about getting this truck is I did not get it in 4x4 only because I could not afford it. The msrp was 21,000 I got it for 16,000. I very strongly reccomend this truck

  • Great truck - 2008 Ford F-150

    Beautiful truck for 32,500.  I wanted a working truck and wanted another 4x4 Lariat, the king ranch was the same price as my 7 yr old Lariat.

  • Disappointed - 2008 Ford F-150
    By -

    This is my third Ford and I am somewhat disappointed. The truck itself is beautiful and stylish. The ride is smooth and the interior is the best I’ve ever seen in a truck. The truck also does what it was designed to do. However the truck does not perform well on the freeway. The 4.6L V-8 engine is not powerful enough for a vehicle this size. When I press the accelerator there is almost no response. Its like the engine is telling me I going to take my sweet time getting on the freeway and if I feel like it I may pass this vehicle. I’m not a speed demon, but I expect my vehicles to respond. Overall it’s a nice truck.

  • The best investment ever - 2008 Ford F-150

    An XLT crew cab 4x4 5.5ft box and a 5.4L ffv. which tows my 4500lb John Deere tractor and a 2000lb car trailer and has no problem doing it and also tows my grandfathers 16ft hilo camper. The ride is much better then my uncles 2007 Tundra and better the my grandpas 2003 Dodge Ram. So if youre looking for a good truck that can haul a family or almost anything you can tow.

  • Love my truck - 2008 Ford F-150
    By -

    Ive owned this STX for 2 months now. I drive it on interstates, secondary roads, and use it off road for farm work. It rides very smooth. Gets OK gas mileage if you drive slower. (17 MPG). I like the cargo doors compared to not having them on my previous F-150 standard cab. Ample power when hauling weight. Nice truck.

  • Loving It - 2008 Ford F-150
    By -

    I have driven many differnet trucks but I always come back to Ford, man they did an outstanding job with this truck, 300 HP is plenty for anyone that knows trucks, 365 torque is where its at. It drives awesome like driving a car, 4wd in the snow is great. Think this maybe my last truck for some years to come, very happy

  • Base model is a great value - 2008 Ford F-150
    By -

    Truck seems very sturdy and strong. Drives easily and smoothly. Quiet except for slight wind noise around small rear doors and only when very windy outside. This truck w/o all the costly bells and whistles is exactly what we wanted -- i.e. it cost less than many high mileage used trucks we looked at, is very comfortable, has the long bed with high sides, and has some storage space behind seat. Also, seats can be reclined slightly.

  • Easy Choice for New Truck...Ford is #1 - 2008 Ford F-150
    By -

    The styling, the comfort, the handling, the ride, the sound system, the power is all perfect for a pickup. I test drove Chevys, Dodges, and the Toyota and the Ford beat them out every time! Best truck by far! The GM products dont even compare in the looks/trim department the Toyota is very cheap looking, and the Dodge wasnt even close to the other three in any category! I spent lots of time driving all of these trucks and easily a simple decision. When it comes to value, comfort, appearance, ride, its hands down the F150. Plus my wife looks great standing next to it!
