The 2009 Ford F-150 has a fully boxed frame constructed with hydro-formed and high strength steel side rails. The lightweight frame delivers 10 percent more torsional rigidity, which provides increased durability and safety. This helps improve towing and hauling capacity as well.
There is a choice of three modern V-8 engines, mated to either a four-speed or a new fuel-efficient six-speed automatic transmission. The engines include a 5.4-litre, three-valve Triton V-8 (which has been optimized for better performance with improved horsepower and torque, and is capable of running on E85, regular unleaded gasoline or any blend in between), and a 4.6-litre, three-valve V-8, which is new for F-150. Both the 5.4-litre and 4.6-litre 3-valve V-8’s utilize open valve injection. Also available is a 4.6-litre, two-valve V-8.
