The Ford F-150 comes in a broad range of models, yet they all have nicely balanced suspensions that make them enjoyable trucks to drive with well-designed, comfortable cabs.
The F-150 is available in six distinct trim levels: XL, XL Super Crew, STX, XLT, FX2/FX4, Lariat, and King Ranch. Each boasts its own interior style, engine, suspension and cab configuration. Engines include a 4.2-liter V6, a 4.6-liter V8, and a 5.4-liter V8. The V6 offers a choice of four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission. Both V8s come with four-speed automatic transmissions, although the 5.4 comes with a heavy-duty unit. The flexible fuel version of the 5.4-liter V8 can run on E85 ethanol. Properly equipped, a Ford F-150 can tow 10,500 pounds or haul more than 3,050 pounds in the bed. For 2008, the Ford F-150 gets a XL Super Crew trim and a rear back-up camera. [source:]
