When the going gets tough, get the crew to the site or the family safely home with the 2009 Ford F-150 Lariat SuperCab 4WD styleside pickup with part-time, electronic shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive (4WD). As with all of Ford’s SuperCab trims, the ’09 F-150 Lariat SuperCab 4WD has rear-hinged back doors that can be opened only in conjunction with the front doors. Though the standard six-passenger seating configuration for the F-150 SuperCab and SuperCrew trims includes bench seats front and rear, if the optional front bucket seats or captain's chairs are selected, only five passengers can be accommodated. All standard Lariat amenities and options, including available heated premium-leather captain’s chairs, are offered with the ’09 F-150 Lariat SuperCab 4WD.
In addition to the standard 310-hp, 365-lb-ft/torque, 5.4-liter Flex Fuel EFI V8 and six-speed automatic transmission, the ’09 F-150 Lariat SuperCab 4WD offers auto-locking hubs, a limited-slip rear differential, electronic hi-lo gear selection, as well as available skid plates and all-terrain tires, making this full-size pickup a more-than-competent off-road vehicle.
