Bring it by for a fair offer! My 1995 F150 has 170,000 rust free miles 4. It's substantial and not a tiny space behind the front row which I really like, although in hindsight I would prefer to have the larger back seating area with the fold down bench seat. The 2008 Ford F-150 carries over with only minor exterior upgrades. The rake on the truck tilts forward, and rain collects in the bed of the truck. There is a bed liner, but the factory bed liner has large access holes on the sides near the bottom. If I whack the top of the dash real hard they come back on. I intend to go through more in-depth once it warms up and swap all the fluids.
For buyers who don't require the quickest rig out there, the F-150 compensates with its civility. A look at the Fair Purchase Price shows the typical transaction price being paid for the F-150 in your area, so be sure to give it a look before you set out to buy. I think in the long run this could become a major problem for rust. Interior Design and Special Features In SuperCrew form, the F-150 can comfortably seat five or six people. Proof of this can be seen in the overwhelming popularity of crew-cab-style trucks over standard and extended-cab versions.
My truck has the 4. The King Ranch and Harley-Davidson trims are available only as SuperCrews. Once we finally had it home went through and did a small tune-up plugs, belts, synthetic oil to it and it runs way better. The ride is comfortable, and my gas mileage is not too bad. The only issue I have is there is no place to store things out of the way. Though it looks different, some may find the tall bed walls make it difficult to reach a toolbox from the side of the truck.
Having just four gears to work with contributes to the F-150's tepid performance; many competitors have five- and six-speed units, which improve both acceleration and fuel efficiency. Gas mileage is what's to be expected of a vehicle of this type and it has enough pickup to feel adequate and features to match. Oh, and the dizzying variety of body styles, trim levels and options that it offers. Compare Us With Others , Please! I have 81,000 miles and have not had any mechanical problems. Runs smooth after my repair and I'm super careful now.
I'm actually afraid to take the bed liner off to see what has resulted. The SuperCrew can have either the 5. The model I have is just one up from the base cabin. Unlike most of its competitors, the F-150 does not offer side airbags or stability control -- the latter a key feature for avoiding accidents in the first place. If you want that you'll have to upgrade the stereo or buy a model that has it.
F-150s with the Lariat trim offer an upscale ambiance with brushed aluminum and wood highlights, leather upholstery, a power driver seat, automatic climate control and a trip computer. All versions offer simple controls and solid materials. Hauling larger items is no problem, however, as the rear seats in SuperCabs and SuperCrews quickly fold up to make way for cargo. The holder of that prestigious title is Ford's F-Series. Notable options include a 300-horsepower 5. Reverse-opening rear doors are standard on regular and SuperCabs for easier cab access, while SuperCrews have four full-size doors.
The Limited tops that by featuring a monochrome White Sand paint scheme, 22-inch alloy wheels with body-color accents, polished running boards, smoked taillights, two-tone leather upholstery and unique instrument cluster trim. A beefed-up version of the 4R75E automatic transmission has been assigned to handle the engine's added muscle. There is a need cover so plenty of protected storage in the bed but it would have been nice to have room in the cab. The brakes feel solid, with a firm pedal, but stopping distances are still longer than most of the F-150's competition. An optional overhead console features interchangeable modules so owners can customize it as they see fit. Vehicle Details The F-150's interior is as close to car-like as you'll find in any pickup.
Offroad capabilities are really good with oversized wheels and tires and a 4wd system that works. In Arizona it's common for trucks to go beyond 200,000+ miles so the timing chain is nice to have. The latter includes the Cargo Management system a combination of bins, crossbars and adjustable cleats that allows one to secure virtually anything short of the space shuttle in the bed and a rearview camera mounted inside the rearview mirror that kicks on when the truck is shifted into reverse. We don't recommend this engine for towing or hauling heavy loads. This is not to say that you won't be satisfied with a 2008 Ford F-150 purchase -- as vehicle reviewers we tend to be harsher critics than the typical consumer. There is a subwoofer under the left side back seat and the Jack is under the right side. Plenty of power, the interior design is great.
Of course, this begs the question: Why the F-Series? The combination of these features makes these the best-handling, best-riding F-150s to ever leave a Ford factory. There is no back bench seat on my model, just enough room for tool boxes, golf clubs, etc. If you look left on that model to change lanes you'll be staring at an interior rear cab column which will force you to lean forward to look out and back from the side window. This extra little door has a small window which is perfect for visibility when changing lanes. All the dash cluster lights go out sometimes at night.

This vehicle rides well and is very quiet on the inside.
The 2008 Ford F-150 sees incremental changes. I have the two regular doors and two smaller side doors that can open up if the main doors are open. Unfortunately, the truck's beefy curb weight is too much for the 4. Disregarding the supercharged V8 that's optional in the niche-market Harley-Davidson edition, the F-150's top engine is the 5. If you have room in the garage get the model with the fold down rear bench because it adds so much more versatility. Cash or Financing Runs and Drives Great!
