Ford F150 Regular Cab

(21 available)Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
The 2012 F-150 pickup receives a few important new features, beginning with the addition of Hill Start Assist and the inclusion of neutral tow assist on all 4x4 trucks. A new automatic 4x4 system is added to Lariat and higher trims, while a new FX Appearance package adds flat-black wheels and accents, black leather seats with red piping, and FX graphics. The FX Luxury package gains heated and cooling front seats.
Four new engines mark the big changes for the 2011 Ford F-150: a 3.7-liter V6, 5.0- and 6.2-liter V8s, and a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. For the first time, a six-speed automatic is standard on all F-150 models. Other new features include the use of electric power-assisted steering, an available 4.2-inch LCD message center, a larger in-mirror rearview camera system, and a telescoping steering wheel.
For 2010, the MyKey programmable vehicle key is made standard on all models except the base XL, while the upscale King Ranch and Platinum models gain heated second-row seats, power sliding rear window with defrost and a Sony six-disc in-dash CD changer. 4x2 models with the three-valve 4.6-liter engine see improved fuel economy.
Though it utilizes a great deal of what has made the F-150 a perennial bestseller, the 2009 model is all new. Key changes include rugged "big-truck" exterior styling, a roomier and more refined interior and a new top-of-the-line Platinum trim level.
If Ford does one thing better than building tough trucks, it's selling them. Rising fuel prices and a move toward smaller vehicles have forced the company to revise its F-150 lineup by offering more features and options with an aggressive new pricing strategy. Determined to keep the F-150 America's best selling pickup, Ford continues to offer a dizzying array of configurations (a total of 60 in all) as well as a new 5.4-liter V8 Flex Fuel engine that can run on E85, a blend of 85-percent ethanol and 15-percent gasoline. Tough competition from Dodge, as well as new lines from GMC and Chevrolet, will keep the fire under the F-150's tires, which could very well translate into some great deals for the savvy consumer.

"Truck has been pretty impressive, but the Ecoboost engine has been a disappointment. It wasn't long after buying the truck that I started having turbo problems. The truck actually stopped on me in the middle of a busy highway. The Ford dealer rolled the truck in on a flatbed, provided me a loaner, ordered parts and made the fix, but I'm still not too happy. Gas mileage is barely 14 mpg and engine has a lot of hesitation to it. I think I would recommend the F150 with V8 engines only."

"Truck is comfortable, quiet and handles heavy loads very well, but gas mileage is poor, transmission isn't too great and I believe the truck was overpriced."

"Truck now has a new trans after the first one failed on me. Not planning to keep it much longer. The new transmission feels just as rough and erratic as the old trans before it failed on me. How long will this new one last?"
