Edmunds Top Rated for 2009
Edmunds Top Rated for 2009
"Ford's F-Series truck has been the best-selling vehicle in America for most of the last 30 years. So it's no surprise that the F-150, which was redesigned for 2009 and faces steep competition (the Dodge Ram was also all-new this year), takes the top full-size truck spot in our Consumers' Top Rated this year. The F-150 wins owners' hearts with its fuel-economy improvements, a more comfortable ride and better front-seat comfort, an upscale interior and additional power. Our editors agree that these traits make the F-150 a great truck for commuters who also need the utility of a full-size truck. When asked to list elements of the truck they thought could be improved, the vast majority of owner-reviewers mentioned the desire for a telescoping steering wheel and complained of the extreme forward angle of the new head restraints. Several also wished for even more power, a sentiment echoed by our editors, as the F-150 remains the least powerful truck in the category, even with its recent horsepower gains."
