2010 Ford F-150 Styleside 2WD Review

The 2010 Ford F150 Styleside 4WD is one member of the totally redesigned new lineup from the world's top-selling pickup truck manufacturer. The Ford F150 has consistently enjoyed the bragging rights of being the sole most excellent-selling nameplate amongst all vehicles on the planet. Redesigned last year, Ford makes its intentions to retain that honor very obvious.

The 2010 Ford F150 lineup is versatile to say the least. There are absolutely loads of available models, options and features available to meet the needs of every driving enthusiast and vocation. With price points beginning at slightly more than $20,000 (and rising to more than twice that), you will definitely find the Styleside 4WD permutation that suits you optimally. In fact, there are more than 65 different such permutations to choose from. That's more than some auto manufacturer's entire lineup offerings. And every one of them presents you with the confident ability to play and work with equal dedication.

The 2010 F150 Styleside from Ford is available with your choice between three separate V8 engines. At the base level, you have a 4.6L 248 horsepower V8/4-speed auto gearbox combination that delivers 14/19 MPG on the cities and highways respectively. Stepping up in class, you can choose the 4.6L 292 horsepower/6-speed auto tranny combo that delivers slightly increased fuel economy. And if you want top-of-the-line power, opt for the 5.4L 310 horsepower 365 lb-ft V8 that delivers 14/20 MPG. Coincidentally, this engine is flex fuel compatible and when using E85 fuel, horsepower bumps up to 320, torque increases to 390 lb-ft and fuel efficiency drops to 10/14 MPG.-

The 2010 F150 Styleside 4WD cost about $4000 more than its two-wheel-driven counterparts. The F150 presents proud owners with one of the deepest beds in this segment for half-ton full-sized pickups. This accommodates a copious volume for cargo hauling as well as a 3030 pound payload rating. And when equipped properly, the F150 Regular Cab Styleside can tow as much as 11,300 pounds.

The Styleside version of the Ford F150 for 2010 is flared out and takes owners back to the days when pickups traditionally featured a step on the sides in front of their rear wheels. Take note that the Styleside bed is not able to be combined with the Lariat SuperCab or XL trims.

The 2010 Ford F150 Styleside 4WD enjoys beating up its competition including the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500, the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the 2010 Toyota Tundra and the 2010 GMC Sierra 1500 whenever it can. Of course that has a lot to do with customer loyalty. And these trucks can get as fancy as you want them to be. Body-color bumpers, mind blowing audio systems, Sirius radio, the Ford SYNC system for communications and navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, luxurious seating with effective lumbar support, automatic climate control, power mirrors and more are all available. If you are in the market for a full-sized, full-powered pickup truck, then you definitely owe it to yourself to check out the unique styling and design standards included on the F150 Styleside 4WD from Ford.
