2009 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"Built Ford Tough!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing serious but a few little annoyances.
- Rear Supercab doors rattle a little bit. If it continues to get worse, I may take it in to get it fixed.
- Power/Volume knob on the stereo is loose to the point of rattling sometimes.
- Excessive tire wear for brand new truck
- The gauge cluster is dark and difficult to see on a bright day.
General comments?
The truck drives and handles great. It has very comfortable seats and is very roomy for a supercab. It steers great and drives very quiet. Gets pretty good gas mileage for a full-size truck (mine meets EPA estimates), but at the expense of quick acceleration (does not feel like 292 hp). However, it does tow a 4000 lb. boat/trailer very well.
Overall it is a great vehicle as I knew that it would be. I am a proud owner so far and would buy another one.
