Original Owner After Almost 12 Years

I’m updating my ‘Original Owner After 10 Years’ review below. Almost two more years on the ‘09 F150 5.4 FX4 s/crew and it’s still going basically trouble free. I just put its second set of new brake pads / rotors on along with new calipers as well, I also installed a new Cat back exhaust on it however the old exhaust was still basically fine. In the fall of ‘19 for some reason the hood heat/ noise insulator pad started deteriorating so I replaced that. I also have new Motorcraft coil packs and fuel injectors just because I think they’ll perk the 5.4 up a bit but haven’t installed them yet. I figure if I put $1000 of extra maintenance in wear parts a year into it that’s a bargain compared to a monthly new truck payment so that’s my plan with a truck in excellent condition of this age. Overall for a truck going on 12 years old that’s been paid off since 2014 I’m way ahead of the game with this F150 FX4, nice 09-14 styles are starting to thin out now now so this one draws as much or more attention as when it was new. It’s still my daily driver and looks basically like when it came off the dealers lot so I’m going to try and get another 10 years out of it just because I’m sure I probably can. I’d be pretty careful if I was buying one used now however as they’re not all in the condition that mine is. I will say that since 2009 this truck has never let me down and has never broke down once although I credit that to proper maintenance and fixing little issues before they become big problems.

This is a great truck even though I don't drive it much, but I know it will always start and run great. A great vehicle so far.

Most dependable truck I have owned.

Sporty but practical daily driver. Great mileage if driven sensibly. Easy to find customized parts. Lot of room for passengers and cargo. Drives firm but smooth for a truck.

Great truck

I’ve always driven Fords and always wanted the King Ranch version. It’s a beautiful truck and comfortable to boot. I recommend it to anyone in the market for a truck.

So far, the best truck I've ever owned

Excellent to date except for a minor issue with the tire pressure monitoring system. It runs great, looks great, was beautifully prepped, and met all of my needs.

Worst used vehicle I have ever owned

When first shown this vehicle, this F-150 FX4 was a dream come true. During the summer I noticed excessive antifreeze usage, which I assumed was from the use of the a/c. It is now 6 months later, I have replaced the heater core, both front struts, control arms and ball joints. The truck has only 14,000 miles more than when I bought it.
