2008 Ford F-150 Styleside 4WD Review

The 2008 Ford F-150 Styleside 4WD is a pickup truck that simply commands attention on and off-road. Its incredible sleek down the road graphics hides the fact that the F-150 Styleside is a tough truck to be reckoned with. The 2008 F-150 far surpasses its competition, including the GMC Canyon in towing capacity and payload, and the price is simply unbelievable. Potential buyers can be confident that purchasing the 2008 F-150 Styleside 4WD is an excellent choice for both drivers that do a lot of hauling and drivers that purely want a good-looking pickup truck.

Pop the hood and buyers will find three different engine options. The 4.2L OHV 12-valve V6 provides just enough power and excellent fuel economy, while the highest 5.4L Triton SOHC 24-valve V8 engine will crush the competition with its staggering power. Though the 4.2L engine only gets around 202 horsepower, the 5.4L Triton boasts a whopping 300 horsepower. A 5-speed manual or 4-speed electronic automatic transmission is available in any of the ten different trim levels. With an estimated 14 city MPG and 20 highway MPG, drivers will be confident knowing that their F-150 4WD is saving them money at the pump. Towing and hauling is a cinch with the 2008 Ford F-150 also. Buyers can opt for the standard 6,800-lb tow package or can upgrade to the heavy-duty package for a 1,400-lb increase. The payload is just as impressive with 2,730-lb.

If buyers are looking for a truck that out-performs and looks great, the Styleside 4WD is the perfect purchase. Styleside refers to the bed style that appears completely streamlined on the outside, but incorporates the wheel wells into the inside of the bed. Unfortunately, the Styleside version does make for smaller bed capacity; however, the look that is achieved with interior wheel wells is sleek and aerodynamic. Available chrome side steps allow for easier entry and also add a bit of flair to the exterior. Tinted windows and a muscular front end give the 2008 Ford F-150 4WD a tough appearance.

Overall, the 2008 Ford F-150 Styleside 4WD is both a great buy and a powerful ride. For the driver that doesn't just want a tough truck, the F-150 Styleside's design beats the competition as well. A streamlined down the road graphics gives the truck a sleek look, and the extra features provide even more of an allure. Go ahead and take the 4WD for a spin; any driver will see that the 2008 F-150 is no joke.
