Ford introduces the 2009 F-150.
Ford has come out with the 2009 version of its best selling truck, the F-150. The F-150 has a formidable reputation of being the best selling vehicle in the US for 23 years, and of being most sold truck for over three decades.
The 2009 F-150 has many new features; it is now available in seven trims, inclusive of a luxury Platinum trim, which is a replacement for the Lincoln Mark LT. It is offered in three cab styles: Regular, Extended and Crew Cab. This year’s model also has slightly enhanced fuel efficiency; more bed styling configurations and some changes to the exterior styling. From 2009, Ford will no longer make F-150’s with manual transmission.

For 2009, the height has gone up by a couple of inches; the nose has got squarer; as are the grille and hood. Each of the trims is given a unique finish. The trims are given 12 different wheel options, ranging from 17 to 20 inches in diameter. Two manually telescoping/folding outside trailer mirrors are another of the F-150’s exterior features.
