Ford has always been a forerunner on the market of full-size trucks. In terms of strength and durability in heavy-duty vehicles, Ford outraces its competitors. Now channelizing many structural and internal design features of Ford F-series trucks in to the 2009 model line Ford reinforces its commitment to durability and reliability.
The F-Series is a class of full-size pickup trucks by Ford Motor Company sold for over fifty years. The most popular model of the F-Series is Ford F-150. It was the best-selling truck in the United States for almost 25 years and has been the best-selling vehicle for three decades though this does not contain combined sales of GM pickup trucks. Specialists claim that F-Series trucks alone make up half of the Ford Motor Company's profits in the recent years. Introducing the 10th generation of the F-series, Ford has split it into the F-150 & F-250/350 - 2 different body styles. The new F-250/F-350 is called the Super Duty now.
These E85 capable trucks come in seven trim levels with additional choices of cab and bed styles to meet the need of widest range of customers. Ford F-150 SuperCrew offers more room for passenger as well as cargo. Its flexible seating arrangement can be adjusted according to everybody's need. The 2009 Ford F-150 reviews shed light on newly added features of F-150.
Designed in the line of Ford's heavy-duty trucks Ford F-Series has ushered into its 12th generation in 2009. While the exterior gets minor makeover, the internal components are vastly improved in new generation trucks. Outside the frame is much lighter yet more robust increasing durability and safety. Lighter chassis allows better speed up, improved payload and fuel economy.
Ford's innovative design and technologies ensure easy handling of these 1-ton trucks. You can choose from standard cab, super cab and crew cab. Engine options include 300Hp 5.8L V8, 362Hp 6.2L V10 and a turbo charged DI. Purposing to retain its monopoly in the heavy-duty market Ford has come up with wide range of cargo haulers. Those who handle heavier loads can opt for 2009 F-250 Super Duty or its higher versions such as F-350 and F-450.
New improved suspension, a drop down tailgate, billet grills, a tow command system integrating the trailer's brakes with the truck's own braking system, folding mirrors and an exclusive electronic stability control system in Ford-F-Series Super Duty trucks guarantees easier driving and more comfortable and safer ride.
If there's been one upside to the collapse of full-size pickup truck sales this year, it has been the way it has served to exponentially increase the amount of semi-entertaining trash talk spouted by manufacturers in the segment. And Ford Motor Company has led that charge, using the introduction of its substantially improved 2009 Ford F-150 as the club with which to pummel the competition.
Although styles and options have changed throughout the years, reliability and durability remain the hallmark of this solid pickup. Gas mileage tends to be surprisingly decent for a vehicle with this much power, and recent models offer a return to fuel economy not seen since the late 1970s.
The most popular entry in Ford's market-dominating F-series of trucks, the Ford F-150 is a favorite workhorse for farm and ranch, as well as a choice for tuners and off-road enthusiasts. Available in a variety of trims and configurations, the Ford F150 is a real American legend, a rugged muscle truck with power to spare.
