2009 Ford F-150 King Ranch Trim Level Overview

2009 Ford F-150 King Ranch LWB 4WD

Take the boatload of standard features and options offered with the F-150 King Ranch lineup, stick them on the styleside, five-passenger, four-door 2009 Ford F-150 King Ranch LWB 4WD, with its part-time, electronic shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive, and haul the crew or the family safely and comfortably through all sorts of weather and terrain. Multi-level heated seats, 18-inch painted alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, and leather captain's chairs in front are but a few of the standard offerings included with the ’09 F-150 King Ranch LWB 4WD full-size pickup. Auto-locking hubs, electronic hi-lo gear selection, and all-terrain tires, along with available skid plates and 3.73 limited-slip axle ratio, make the ’09 F-150 King Ranch LWB 4WD a formidable off-road vehicle.

For 2009, the F-150 King Ranch LWB 4WD is powered by the standard 5.4-liter Flex Fuel V8 and its standard six-speed automatic transmission. This combo puts out 310 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque, good for a towing capacity of 11,100 pounds and payload capacity of 1,500 pounds, at an EPA-estimated 14/18 mpg.

Notched one slot below the top-shelf Platinum trim, the 2009 F-150 King Ranch trims are available only in the SuperCrew configuration. The rear-wheel-drive, four-door, styleside ’09 F-150 King Ranch LWB, with the standard 6.5-ft bed, offers many of the options available with the lower-level trims as standard equipment, including a universal garage door opener, 18-inch painted alloy wheels, step running boards, premium leather, multi-level heated front captain's chairs (which obviously drop seating capacity to only five passengers, instead of the typical six), simulated wood and leather trim on the steering wheel, dashboard, and doors, a premium-leather-trimmed console, power adjustable front driver and passenger lumbar supports, dual-zone climate control, the SYNC system, and a 6-CD changer with four speakers. Options for the ’09 F-150 King Ranch LWB are typical of all the higher-end F-150 trims, with the addition of 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with jewel gold painted accents that are unique to the King Ranch trim.

The ’09 F-150 King Ranch LWB offers the 5.4-liter EFI Flex Fuel V8 as its standard powerplant, which combines with the standard six-speed transmission to produce 310 hp and 365 lb-ft torque, good to tow 11,300 pounds with the available Class IV Max Trailer Tow Package. The EPA rates the 5.4-liter V8 at 14/20 mpg, and the Flex Fuel feature allows the '09 F-150 King Ranch LWB to burn unleaded E85-ethanol gasoline.

Take the 2009 Ford F-150 King Ranch 4WD from downtown streets to mountain trails using its part-time, electronic shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive for added traction and stability. This 5.5-foot bed, four-door, five-passenger, full-size pickup features all the bells and whistles common to the King Ranch lineup, including 18-inch painted alloy wheels and a 6-CD changer. Auto-locking hubs and electronic hi-lo gear selection will keep each of the four all-terrain tires churning through mud and snow, and available skid plates add serious off-roading capability to the ’09 F-150 King Ranch 4WD short-bed pickup.

Though cargo capacity is marginally cut back by its 5.5-foot bed, engine power in the ’09 F-150 King Ranch 4WD remains strong, with the standard 310-hp, 365-lb-ft/torque, 5.4-liter EFI Flex Fuel V8 and its sturdy six-speed automatic with tow/haul mode. Mileage suffers just a little with the 4WD configuration with a rating of 14/18 mpg.

The 2009 Ford F-150 King Ranch, the penultimate trim level in the F-150 lineup, packs all the standard features of the King Ranch LWB, including the multi-level heated, premium leather, 10-way adjustable front captain’s chairs, into a more compact configuration with its 5.5-foot bed. The styleside, full-size ’09 F-150 King Ranch, available only with the four-door SuperCrew cab, is a bit easier to maneuver and park downtown than its LWB (6.5-foot bed) sibling. Options and standard safety features, of course, match those for the LWB King Ranch trims as well, including a Max Trailer Tow Package, ABS, and traction and stability control.

Standard with the ’09 F-150 King Ranch is the 5.4-liter Flex Fuel EFI V8 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission with tow/haul mode. This matchup is capable of 310 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque, and willing and able to haul some 11,300 pounds of trailer, when properly equipped. Gas mileage is estimated at 14/20 mpg.
