The lineup for the 2009 Ford F-150 Styleside 2WD full-sized pickup truck includes over 75 variations available. The line begins with MSRPs below $20,000 and climbs up to the mid 30s. These F-150s can play as well as they can work - and owners love to make them do both. Three engines and two transmissions are offered. The engines are a 4.2 V6, a 4.6L V8 and a 5.4L V8. Base trim fuel economy ratings are at 14/19 mpg city/highway - the lowest in the class, although by very little.

The exterior has been freshened for 2009 and some say that the conservative approach is somewhat unimaginative. Like you would expect - others love it. Even the base trim offers a fair number of standard features and there is plenty of room for customization here. Several cab styles and bed lengths are also available for the 2009 F-150 2WD Styleside truck. The F-150 line also features more bed depth than most of its competitors.

The realm of pickup truck design is somewhat limited. You basically have three boxes to work with: 1 for the engine, 1 for the cabin and 1 more for the bed. For over 70 years, Ford has been working with different mixes of these space constraints. The Ford F-150 Styleside 2WD is a conservatively-designed truck that offers considerable utility and appreciable style. It is great for a muddy job site or even a weekend cruise on the strip.

Ford trucks have a very good reputation for reliability and solid performance. Customer loyalty continues to keep Ford in the race for the top spot year after year - even in times when many are opting for smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. There will always be a pickup truck segment though - and Ford will always be there sharing the lead. The F-150 Styleside 2WD by Ford offers more cargo area than does its brother, the Flareside. Styleside basically signifies a box with a few well-placed lines of character.

On the inside, the 2009 F-150 2WD is available in many different designs, patterns, feature combos and the like. The cabins are rated to be considerably quiet and comfortable. There are also 3 separate gauge clusters available to select from as well. The control mechanisms are kept simplistic and accessible. One nice feature is that most of the interior features will remain operational even with the key removed for a given time period. That eliminates the maddening "can't roll my window up" after the engine has been cut off.

The system for navigation is receiving rave reviews. It works flawlessly and easily. The learning curve is small and the feature list is large. If anything is wrong at all with it, it would be that the screen is just a bit on the small side. A full-sized pickup should be spacious on the inside and the 2009 Ford F-150 Styleside 2WD is sure to please. Even the Regular cab design has plenty of space for 3 full-sized men to sit across the seat without having to feel like they are in love with one another.

Overall, the 2009 Ford F-150 Styleside 2WD is a winner. It is tough, dependable, a good value and comes with a nice selection of standard features. Test drive your new Ford today!
