Today on PickupTrucks.com: 2009 Ford F-150 First Drive

The 2009 Ford F-150 lands amid deep trouble in the pickup truck market, but Ford’s best-seller remains a champion in its segment and a long-running heavyweight in the entire automotive market (the recent ascendance of the Honda Civic not withstanding).

Our pals over at PickupTrucks.com recently test-drove the new F-150 on Ford’s Michigan Proving Grounds, where the truck was developed. Covering everything from the new-and-improved transmission to a segment-best towing capacity of 11,300 pounds, their full report is now available.
