2009 Ford F-150 King Ranch LWB

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.
