2009 Ford F-150 SuperCrew 4X4 User Reviews

Pros

Qualilty Has Improved

Cons

But Has Not Matched The Quality Of Honda

Purchased As New

I traded my 2007 Honda Pilot EX 4X4 for the 2009 F-150 Crew 4X4 XLT. Ford has better quality than the last F-150 I owned, 2003 Lariat. The interior has improved. However, as much as Ford has improved, it still hasn't matched the quality of Honda. Ford skimps on the small things, alot of small things. For instance, my Pilot had two layers of door rubber trim to keep down air infiltration and noice in the cabin. Ford just has one, SMALL piece of FOAM trim. It is cheap and doesn't keep air infiltration down. The seats in my Pilot are much better, firmer cushions and thicker cloth. I've had my F-150 for three weeks and the drivers seat cloth is already starting to frey. The cushion is already starting to break-down. Not Good. At first, I didn't like the exterior looks of the new F-150. But it is starting to grow on me. I purchased it for its safety equipment. It is standard on the Ford but optional on the GM. I wanted a GMC but couldn't find one with the safety features that I wanted along with tan interior, of which I was told by a salesman at a GM dealership that tan interior is hard to find because GM just doesn't make very many trucks with the tan cloth interior...not sure if it is the truth or a lie just to get me to purchase from his current dealer inventory. However, I needed a truck because an SUV just doesn't have the utility ability that I needed. Ford had what I wanted,so I purchased it, on the X-Plan and $4,000 rebates. I couldn't beat that deal at any other Manufacturer.
