2009 Ford F-150 FX4 SuperCab Flareside 4WD

Want the retro look of flareside styling? The 2009 Ford FX4 SuperCab Flareside 4WD is delivered with all the standard accoutrements of the FX4 SuperCab line and features the narrow bed and wheel wells outside the bed wall that are common to this distinctive look. Part-time, electronic shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive (4WD) is standard on the ’09 F-150 SuperCab Flareside 4WD, as is a limited-slip rear differential, skid plates, all-terrain tires, six-passenger seating, and four doors for easy entry and exit. Options are identical to those for the rest of the FX4 trims, including 20-inch aluminum-spoked wheels, a power rear sliding window, heated leather captain's chairs, and an in-dash, voice-activated DVD navigation system.

The ’09 F-150 FX4 SuperCab Flareside 4WD, reflective of the FX4 breed, is equipped with the standard 310-hp, 365-lb-ft/torque 5.4-liter Flex Fuel V8 engine, along with the standard six-speed automatic transmission. The EPA estimates 14/18 mpg with this combo. Though the narrow bed cuts a bit of cargo capacity, the ’09 F-150 FX4 SuperCab Flareside 4WD can still haul some 11,300 pounds of trailer, when properly equipped, and do it with flair.
