What Owners Say
"Lots of leaning when cornering."
Anonymous, MN (2009 Ford F-150)"This pickup has excellent acceleration and power. You do not feel as though you will lack power to pass, climb hills, or do other normal highway drive. It handles smoothly, comfortably, and effortlessly."
Anonymous, AB (2009 Ford F-150)"Comfort of ride and amount of space."
Anonymous, IL (2009 Ford F-150)"Has xxxxx hasn’t let us down except it’s windows are manual"
Anonymous, OR (2009 Ford F-150)"4.6L 3V engine provides good acceleration, towing capacity and fuel mileage. Trouble free and easy to maintain."
Anonymous, VA (2009 Ford F-150)"I hate the amount of steering wheel turns to get a given amount of change in direction. I use it for ranch work and weary of turning the wheel significantly to accomplish a turn. Also hate the long turning radius. Can't turn the damn thing around on two acres."
Anonymous, TX (2009 Ford F-150)"when I need the power to go it doesn't hesitate"

Anonymous, IN (2009 Ford F-150)"Power and great handling."
Bruce R., CA (2009 Ford F-150)"5.4L engine has all the power I want and need. Handles great for a pickup. It's not a Corvette, but it's not supposed to be."
Steve F., TX (2009 Ford F-150)"acceleration acceptable, but handling requires constant attention due to 'jiggles and jumps' from the suspension."
J F., IN (2009 Ford F-150)"Very good acceleration. Okay handling for a big truck."
Anonymous, PA (2009 Ford F-150)"Lots of power. I can downshift with trailer funtion."
James L., CA (2009 Ford F-150)"Acceleration is very good for a large truck. Plenty of power."
Ken G., AZ (2009 Ford F-150)"good on road or off road conditions."
Anonymous, ME (2009 Ford F-150)"The acceleration is excellent even with a taller rear gear."
Anonymous, AZ (2009 Ford F-150)"I pull a fifth wheel trailer and I find the 6 speed transmission gives me good towing ability on hills plus the trailer mode keeps speeds in check on downgrades. These features are outstanding compared to my previous Chev 2500"
Anonymous, BC (2009 Ford F-150)"Glad I got the 5.4L it gives great torque when pulling a trailer. You can punch it when needed and it is very responsive no hesitation. Turning radius is fair."
Gary W., TX (2009 Ford F-150)"Very good acceleration for a heavey vehicle."
Andrew M., BC (2009 Ford F-150)"turning radius is horrible."
Darwin T., OR (2009 Ford F-150)"smooth acceleration and excellent responsive handling"
Ron C., ON (2009 Ford F-150)"Handles very well and accelerates well with or without hauling. Only thing that stands out is that if you accelerate really quickly the engine is loud..sometimes gave impression that driver was leaving mad ir aggressively."
Anonymous, LA (2009 Ford F-150)"Truck has v8 and lots of power. Handles well in traffic or on back roads. It has met or exceeded all expectations."
Jim W., UT (2009 Ford F-150)"Accelerates and tows great."
Scott P., WA (2009 Ford F-150)"good acceleration for a truck"
Anonymous, MN (2009 Ford F-150)"Bearing in mind that It's a truck, handling and braking are quite satisfactory. The big V8 pulls very strongly when lightly loaded, adequately with heavier loads. Load and weight distrinution have a great impact on all parameters: handling, braking, and acceleration."
Joshua S., NY (2009 Ford F-150)
"The engine/transmission combination provides excellent acceleration while still yielding good mileage. It handles very well for a large vehicle in both highway and suburban settings."
Daniel L., RI (2009 Ford F-150)
