The Ford “F” truck series has been in existence for 60 years. Therefore the purchase of a used Ford F-150 pickup should afford quite a wide selection. For the past 3 decades the Ford F-150 has overwhelmingly been the most popular pickup in the United States. The latest incarnation of this vehicle was from 2009 to 2013. The used Ford F-150’s of this generation tend to have a more “masculine” style and improved technological advancements such as a navigational system that works off ones voice commands.
There are several varieties of trim lines to choose from. The most popular was the XLT as it provides the best value. The STX offered more features and the XL was the basic style. Available engines during this time period ranged from a 4.2L, 202HP V6 to a 5.4L, 300HP V8. The 6 cylinder model came with a manual transmission while the other was mated to a 4 speed automatic.
The model years from 1997 to 2003 were very capable pickups in their own right as well. The purchase of a used Ford F-150 pickup is the perfect choice if you have a boat to tow, cargo to haul or simply a recreational lifestyle that calls for this type of vehicle.
