The Ford F-150 does not lead the pack on power, but it sets the bar for cabin design and driving characteristics.

The full-size truck segment is among the most competitive in the whole car market. These big, utilitarian vehicles need to be capable of towing, hauling, and other “truck” duties. But full-size trucks have evolved through the years to be more comfortable for daily commuting, road trips, and many of the other tasks that were once the sole domain of minivans and station wagons. No more apparent is this dual personality than in the 2008 Ford F-150.

The eleventh generation of the F-150 arrived for the 2004 model year and has been carried over to the 2007 model year, gaining additional features and trims along the way. The F-150 may not be the most powerful truck available, but it is an approachable, useful truck that puts as much priority on the commute as it does on the worksite.
