The new truck has a larger and more flexible interior, updated radiator grille and additional cab options. The chassis has been upgraded to have a lower weight, better fuel consumption while maintaining high rigidity, and the weight of the load to be loaded has also been increased. The 2009 Ford F150 features front airbags, side airbags in the event of a side impact, as well as the exclusive AdvanceTrac RSC system (electronic stability control).
This hugely popular pickup has won many different awards. Motor Trend magazine named it the SUV of the Year and the US Security Institute the safest car of the year.
The F-150 has been used in some rally races - Best In The Desert and Argentina-Chile Dakar Rally.
