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.

"I purchased my truck new in Feb 2010 as a left over 2009 at a great price. I have since driven 19000 trouble free miles and have loved every minute of it! The truck is currently worth 2k less that what I paid for it new(as if I would sell it). Mine has the 4.6L 3V and 6-speed trans. It pulls my 18ft boat (fiberglass runabout with a 4.3 i/o) like a freight train. I have gotten over 23mpg on the hwy and average 18mpg in a mix of mostly city driving. To say that I love this truck is an understatement. The smooth responsive ride and quiet cab is amazing. I love all of the extra features ( SYNC, steering wheel audio, etc) that the truck has with just the STX trim. I test drove all of the half tons and Ford had them all beat. Don't send you money to Japan;buy the best truck available, BUY AMERICAN!"

"5.4 V8 getting 15 mpg. Great ride and comfortable. My 3rd Ford truck and I would get another. Quiet inside with no rattles - well built. I have the towing package - the side mirrors are awesome, great vision and very little wind noise when the window is open."

"To me, this is the perfect truck. With the Ecoboost engine, I am getting around 22/gal highway, yet have the power of the twin turbos when needed. It is extremely quiet and rides like a car. Spacious interior, with more leg room in the back seat than the front. the SYNC system is very nice and convienent."
