Very Reliable — I am very impressed with this truck, I can haul almost anything and also fit alot of material or pachages in the bed. I can take up to 4 passengers with me, the more that you load the truck up with, the better the ride, it is the smoothest ride I have ever had in a truck. Will look to own another Ford in the future if needed.

Pretty Nice — Looks great, handles great, accelerates and stops great. Roomy, love the power windows in the back. Some extended cabs don't have that. Build quality is very decent. Fuel economy sucks as expected. Very fun to drive. What else can I say?

Pros

My opinion you cant go wrong with owning any american truck. i just think the F-150 is the best priced, and is the sexiest out of them all.

Cons

Don't get cloth interior.

Awesome, I Would Buy Another. The New '09's Are Even Sexier, And Faster. — This truck gets up and goes, has decent gas mileage, and can hug the road. Only problem is as a 2wd truck it is an adventure to drive on snow and wet pavement. I am nearing 50k on it, and not a single repair other than brakes. It is a beautiful truck. Mine is black, which is the best color but hardest to maintain. The interior is tan, not my choice of color, and not a huge fan of it. Also go with leather seats, the cloth seats are terrible for keeping clean.

Best Truck On The Road Today! — This is an excellent vehicle! It does everything I want it to do with ease. Gas mileage is very good for this type of vehicle and it has sufficient power and cargo space. It is also a very attractive truck and a very dependable one as well. Performance, build quality, appearance, everything is great!

Best All Around Truck Between 2001 And 2007. — Great truck for all purposes. Interior styling is STILL unmatched by the 09 models.

Pros

#1 pro of the 150 FX4 is the interior. The FX4 model has a very luxurious interior that rivals any other truck I've sat in. Its quiet, comfortable, and rides like an expensive Sedan. Perfect for family. Yet this truck still has the power to do any work you need it to do. Its a win win truck. You can use it for work, travel, and anything with the family. Back seats have a lot of space also.

Cons

Gas mileage is a little less then estimated MPGs.

Love This Truck, But Mpg Is Not Practical For A Student. — I loved this Fx4 truck very much. You can do everything with this truck from work, to basic offroad use, and anything family related like long trips. The Fx4 model has a very luxurious and spacious interior. Only con is the gas mileage.

Large vehicle that has plenty of room for road trips, storage, and leg space.

being a larger vehicle it doesn get nearly as good of gas mileage as a smaller car

Overall I'd Say This Vehicle Was A 4 Out Of 5 Star Option — Very comfortable vehicle with a stylish outer and appearance and interior that matches. Little to no blind spots due to large windows that make it very easy to see 360 degrees around you. Although the gas mileage isn't the greatest, the vehicle is very reliable and easy to maintain. Very safe, fun to drive on and off the road.
