2009 Ford F150 Truck

Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

Redesigned for 2009, the Ford F-150 pickup truck has gained power and also features more interior passenger room for increased comfort. A 248 hp 4.6L V8 replaces the 202 hp V6 as the base engine and is connected to a four-speed automatic. A 292 hp 4.6L V8 and a 320 hp 5.4L V8 are available as well, and both are mated to Ford's six-speed automatic transmission. The 5.4L V8 can run on E85 ethanol-blended fuel. Rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are both available; however, the four-wheel drive cannot be left engaged on dry pavement. Ford F-150 standard features include ABS, traction control, roll stability control, front side airbags and curtain side airbags. The regular cab trim, which no longer has rear access doors, is considered the base model. The SuperCab extended cab features rear-hinged back doors that do not open independently of the front doors. The SuperCrew crew cab has four conventional doors. The F-150 achieves 14 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway.

Benefits of Driving a 2009 Ford F150 Truck

The F-150 has been the best-selling truck nameplate for 31 years, and Ford shows no indication of giving that title up with the completely redesigned model this year. While the new F-150 is more capable, more passenger-friendly, and safer, it's still offered in one of the widest equipment ranges of any vehicle, to suit the needs of those who work out of their vehicles in many different ways. As such, the F-150 spans one of the widest price ranges of any vehicle, from the low $20,000 range for the base XL models to over the $50,000 mark for a loaded Platinum.

What's new for 2009?

The F-150 has been completely redesigned for 2009, with a new, more macho appearance, a stronger frame, more versatile and luxurious interior and a more powerful engine lineup. Safety has also been stepped up on all F-150s, with side-impact airbags, side curtain airbags and electronic stability control now standard.

Model Review

The new redesigned F-150 has a new look as well as extensive mechanical changes, including a more imposing front end modeled after Ford's Super Duty Trucks and a taller, chunkier appearance throughout. The F-150's interior has been rounded out a bit but still is undeniably that of a truck. Three different cab configurations, four box options and seven different trims are available to fit the specific needs of pickup users.

Safety Ratings What do the Safety Ratings mean? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) performs independent crash testing of new vehicles and then assigns them a score based on their performance. The overall crash test rating is based on how a vehicle performs in the following tests: Driver Crash Grade: Measures the chance of a serious injury to a crash test dummy that is placed in a driver's seat and driven into a fixed barrier at 35 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less chance of injury. Passenger Crash Grade: Similar to the driver crash grade, only now the focus is on the passenger. Rollover Resistance: Simulates an emergency lane change to measure the likelihood of a vehicle rolling over. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less risk of rollover. Side Impact Crash Test - Front: Focuses on the front side of a vehicle. It simulates crashes that can occur in intersections by striking a 3,015-pound weight against the side of a vehicle at 38.5 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 5 percent or less chance of injury. Side Impact Crash Test - Rear: Similar to the front side impact test only now the focus is on the rear passenger.

Original Warranty Original Warranty An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment. The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including: Basic Warranty: Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters. Drivetrain Warranty: This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be. Roadside Assistance: The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car. Corrosion Warranty: This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal. Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.	Miles	Months
Basic	36,000	36
Drivetrain	60,000	60
Corrosion	0	60
Roadside Assistance	60,000	60

Ford Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Certified Pre-Owned Warranty To be eligible for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) status, vehicles generally must be recent models with relatively low mileage. CPO vehicles must also pass a detailed inspection, outlined by the manufacturer, which is measured by the number of inspected points. Warranty coverage can vary from one manufacturer to the next. While most certified pre-owned programs transfer and extend the existing new car warranty terms, others offer a warranty that simply represents an additional year and mileage value. Always check with the manufacturer for the specific warranties they offer. Common features and benefits of Certified Pre-Owned warranties include: Age/Mileage Eligibility To even be considered for certification, a car must be a recent model year and have limited mileage. The exact requirements are established by individual manufacturers. Lease Term Certified Some manufacturers offer certified pre-owned cars for lease. The length of the lease is often shorter than a new car lease, but it will cost you less. Point Inspection These inspections entail a comprehensive vehicle test to ensure that all parts are in excellent working order. The point inspection list is simply a numbered list of exactly what parts of the car are examined. While many inspections range from a 70- to 150-point checklist, most are very similar and are performed using strict guidelines. Ask your local dealer about specific details. Return/Exchange Program Some manufacturers offer a very limited return or exchange period. Find out if you will get the sales tax and licensing/registration fees back should you return or exchange the car. Roadside Assistance Most certified pre-owned programs offer free roadside service in case your car breaks down while still under warranty. Special Financing Reduced-rate loans are available through many certified pre-owned programs. Manufacturer-backed inspections and warranties help eliminate the risks involved with buying pre-owned, so buyers who qualify can take advantage of the great offers. Transferable Warranty When a new car warranty transfers with the certification of the car and remains eligible for the next owner, it is known as a transferable warranty. Once the original transferable warranty expires, an extended warranty takes effect. Warranty Deductible This is the amount for which you are responsible when repair work is performed under the warranty. Some manufacturers require a deductible while others don't, so always ask.
