2009 Ford F150 XLT Chrome SuperCrew 6.5 box review from North America
"How big is the F150 gonna get?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing went wrong was a faulty electric trailer controller.
Find the A/C is not cold enough when idling, but OK once the motor is revved up. I'm guessing because of the engine cooling fan has to turn faster for the A/C condenser to work properly.
General comments?
I had the 05 F150, on which I found the ride not as stiff as this one, but for towing this one is a lot better because it's more stable; no trailer sway compare to my 05 F150.
The 6 speed tranny has more torque and the cabin is a lot quieter than the 05 F150 I had. Even when downshifting, it's quiet.
Because of the long wheelbase, it doesn't turn too sharp.
Get the back up camera, it's worth it!
Wish that you could lock out the overdrive on tow mode, as it still goes on overdrive!
Interior dash could have used better quality than hard plastic.
Back seat room is stupidly big! Which I love.
Should have a locking gas door, because there is no more gas cap and it makes it very easy for thieves.
Needs more back underseat compartments. Back seat should fold down also.
