The vision for Ford’s truck team was clear: redesign America’s favorite truck inside and out to give customers unrivaled capability, unprecedented choice and a host of smart, game-changing features.

The result is the all-new 2009 Ford F-150, the new benchmark in the full-size pickup segment from the industry’s truck leader-which has built more than 33-million F-Series pickups since 1948.
