To redesign the 2009 F-150, the Ford engineering team worked with its customer base to determine the needs and wants of today’s truck buyer. The 2009 F-150 gives Ford owners more choice and more options than before – with the ability to create 35 separate configurations – all delivered with Ford quality.

Customers can customize their F-150 with a choice of three cabs. In addition to the regular cab and SuperCab options, the 2009 F-150 offers a SuperCrew cab that features a class-leading 56.7 cubic feet of space behind the front seats and more usable space due to a six-inch stretch that improves rear seat legroom and cargo capacity.

With four pickup box options, customers can pick from the following:
Box Sidestep – With a weight capacity of 500 lbs., the Box Sidestep option makes loading and unloading cargo much easier.

Tailgate Step – Tucked away in the tailgate, the hidden step stays out of sight until needed. It includes a flip-up grab bar for easy access to the bed and its content.

Stowable Bed Extender – Durable and corrosion resistant, this strong extender helps owners maximize their box space. When not in use, it splits in the middle, folds and stows.

Cargo Management System – The basic system, which comes with two siderails, delivers 600 lbs.-per cleat strength (two cleats per rail maximum).

Grille treatments give each trim level in the series a distinct look. There are seven trim levels – XL, STX, FX4, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum. In addition to the satin chrome grille with fine egg crate mesh set into the three horizontal chrome bars, the Platinum model also sports satin chrome appliqué at the back of the truck.

When it comes to powertrain, the Ford F-150 has three engine options, all of which feature Ford-tested V-8 engines. F-150 customers can opt for:

A 5.4-liter, 3-valve Triton V-8,
A 4.6-liter, 3-valve V-8,
Or a 4.6-liter, 2-valve V-8.
Fully compliant with LEVII, all three engines meet California’s Tier 2 Bin 4 tailpipe and evaporative emissions regulations.
