F-150 best for family of 5.
As a family of 5 with a large dog our f-150 with crew cab fits us perfectly. We can put the dogs kennel in the back, tied down, and head up the mountains or out to the beach. As an outdoor family I couldn't imagine having any other vehicle. The f-150 is definitely a great fit for us.

2009 ford f-150 pickup truck built tough for the road.
We like the 2009 ford f-150 4 wheel drive very much. It is built tuff in every way. We have about 40,000 miles on it with the original tires and battery. Truly amazing. Every time we take it in at a ford dealer, they change the oil and tell us nothing else needed. We like the comfort and it is great for traveling.

F-150 The Money Pit
I love the look of my 2009 150 lariat, interior tuff looking but also luxurious, that’s where my compliments end. Since purchasing it I have replaced 2 oxygen sensors, power sliding rear window motor and switch right front caliper locked up, 3rd brake light leaked water in and stained the headliner now I need a new blend door actuator for the drivers side another 1500.00 and I was going to change spark plugs and coils but was told plugs can break off in the head and what would be a small expense now could mean a large one. I don’t call this reliability. Ford knows they have huge issues with blend doors yet still put these in there trucks. The truck is in great condition so it wasn’t abused. If I can get my money back out of the truck I will get rid of it and not purchase another ford I will look at other brands.
accountCircle Cynthia C
Be prepared financially to be able to service the vehicle.
It is a very nice vehicle and just what we needed, however, if given a choice I would not purchase it again. The vehicle is not very durable. In less than a year, we had to take it to the shop twice for services over $1,000 each time. Thankful we purchase a warranty when we purchased the vehicle.

The truck is very comfortable, but has had reliability issues.
I bought my vehicle with 115, 000 miles, a week after purchasing my water pump was going bad and had to replace. Reliability is an issue. Although, vehicle is very comfortable and useful. I used my truck to move into my new apartment, hauling out household goods and furniture. My truck model is the xlt supercrew long bed.

It is a ticking time bomb.
My vehicle is a 2009 Ford f-150. It was bought for me by my parents to drive to college. It was formerly a work truck on a farm. It is pretty ragged out. Almost has 200, 000 hard farm work miles on it. Transmission is slipping and the engine sometimes sounds real bad. Dents and scratches give the ole girl some character.

Its functional no bells and whistles. Check engine light is always on. Normal wear & tear have been the only problems. Everyone needs the truck for moving or hauling. It has a speed. We have driven to Arizona, Utah California several times. The air was leaking due to condensation.

Good reliable truck but ac is not good.
I have had my Ford for 6 years and bought it used. I have not had many issues with the truck. The worst thing about the truck is the ac. It never blows cold like it should no matter what I do to fix it.

The Ford F-150 2009 has extremely nice wheels. The wheels are strong and durable and the suspension is strong and lasts.
The Ford F-150 2009 is a great vehicle. It lasts long and is extremely powerful. However, it depreciates a lot after a few years. It can still run properly but it has little value. I love it because it was my first truck but it has no value in the world now.

What Problems Does the 2009 Ford F-150 Have?

There are fewer problems with the 2009 Ford F-150 than many other full size trucks from the same year. Both the 2008 and 2010 models have more complaints from owners, making 2009 a better year to buy.

Engine problems, including spark plugs ejecting, are a problem on some trucks around 105,000 miles. Spark plug ejection problems have been a common issue across the F-150 lineup, and are a component owners should check regularly. If the spark plugs do come out of the engine, repairing the problem costs about $2,600.

A faulty door ajar sensor is another problem happening, in some cases around 130,000 miles. There are two main sources to the problem including a damaged wire, and failed sensors. Replacing the sensor costs only $20 on average, and is an easy part to change.

There are rare transmission problems, including hard shifting between gears which show up in the first 15,000 miles. If the transmission is regularly shifting hard and there are signs of damage to the gears, then the unit will need to be replaced. A new transmission can cost over $3,000 to install, depending on local labor rates.

There are 3 recalls, which is fewer than other full size trucks from 2009. They include brake stop lamps, and interior door handle springs. The lamps are the most important item to address for safety.

How Much is the 2009 Ford F-150 Worth?

Ranging in price from $11,132 to $21,524, the 2009 Ford F-150 is more affordable than other half-ton trucks on the market including the Silverado and Ram. When new, the price range was $21,565 to $44,355. Depreciation is average for a full size truck and in current market conditions only loses about 5% of its current value per year.

How Long Will the 2009 Ford F-150 Last?

A properly cared for 2009 Ford F-150 will last almost 300,000 miles, which is longer than many of the other full size trucks. Repair Pal estimates annual maintenance costs to be over $100 more expensive than the Ram or Silverado 1500 series, at $812 per year.

As the truck ages and passes 100,000 miles, there are a few common maintenance items buyers should be prepared for. They include thermostat replacements for $550, wheel hubs costing around $500, as well as drive belt tensioners which cost around $150.

accountCircle Jarod S

My 2009 ford f-150 XLT is very reliable. I do not have any issues out of it. If you keep your vehicle serviced regularly then you'll never have problems.

accountCircle Shane S

So far, it has been very reliable. Aside from one instance where the battery failed (which ended up being at the fault of the dealership), I have had no problems with it.

accountCircle Patty C

It is very reliable and keeping up with regular maintenance has successfully helped to avoid major problems.

What Technology & Safety Features Are Included?

Technology in the Ford F-150 is average for a truck from 2009, but feels very dated to use as the vehicle has aged.

  • Base technology includes a 4-speaker stereo system with AM/FM playback on the XL model. Upgrading to the XLT adds CD playback, and a 3.5mm AUX input.
  • Optional upgrades include 6 and 8-speaker stereo systems, an 8-inch touchscreen navigation, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, as well as SYNC voice control.
  • Standard safety features include antilock disc brakes, air bags, stability control, and trailer sway control. There’s an optional rear view camera available on models with navigation.

What Engine Options are Available?

Performance is not as good as some of the competitors in the F-150, taking 7.4 seconds to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour with the largest engine. Although the F-150 has less power than  rivals from Toyota, Chevrolet, and Dodge, it still has the highest towing capacity at up to 11,300 pounds.

  • The base engine is a 4.6L V8 with 248 horsepower and 293 lb.-ft. of torque.
  • A re-tuned high-output version of the 4.6L V8 is available with 292 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. of torque.
  • The flagship engine is the 5.4L V8 with 320 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque.

What Color Options are Available?

How Big is the F-150?

The 2009 Ford F-150 is a half-ton truck, similar in size to the Silverado and Ram 1500. There are three cabin configurations available including a 2-door regular cab, 4-door SuperCab, and larger 4-door SuperCrew. Passenger room is excellent in the backseats of the SuperCrew, but is limited in the SuperCab.

Three bed lengths are also available including a 5-foot-6-inch short bed, 6-foot-5-inch regular bed, and 8-foot long bed.

How Does the 2009 Ford F-150 Compare to Other Trucks?

Ranking 6th out of 13 full size trucks, based on owner reviews, the 2009 Ford F-150 is in the middle of the class.

The highest-rated half ton truck from 2009 is the more expensive Toyota Tundra. The Tundra offers similar long-term reliability, but has more powerful engines as standard. Where the Ford stands out is with a higher towing capacity, and better optional technology. Overall, both are good trucks, and the decision comes down to personal preference.

Another close rival is the Chevrolet Silverado, which also has a higher starting price. The Silverado has fewer complaints from owners, and a higher-quality interior. Where Ford wins out is with a higher towing capacity, and more technology available. Both trucks are good choices, but the refreshed F-150 gives you more for your money.

Yes, the 2009 Ford F-150 is a good truck. We reached our conclusion after considering 154 verified owner reviews, with owners having a generally positive view of the F-150, rating it 4.4/ 5. The positives include outstanding safety scores, and a higher towing capacity than rivals.

Owner Reviews

accountCircle 14 Year Owner on September 21, 2023
I’ve Owned My 2009 F150 Over 14 Years Since New
I’ve owned mine with the 5.4 3v since it was new and just took it on a multi day road trip where it still averaged 20.25 mpg or 11.6l/100km which is good for a 4x4 Supercrew V-8. Overall I would rate it a very good truck but it has had some repairs over the years which is to be expected. These include the passenger side exhaust manifold, a/c compressor clutch, VCT solenoids, heater core and fan motor and a water leak around the satellite radio antenna back when it was new. The key to these trucks and especially the 5.4 3v engine is proper maintenance, especially the oil change intervals. If you can find one that you know has been maintained correctly and the engine doesn’t knock you can feel fairly confident buying it. If the person hasn’t taken care of it run away in the other direction as fast as you can. After over 14 years I still plan to keep mine indefinitely.

The best V8 Ford F-150 extended cab truck on the market.
Our Ford F-150 extended cab has a V8 engine. The cab is big enough for 5 people to sit very comfortably. It has a lot of legroom so your legs don't get cramped and It rides very smoothly. We have a big family so it holds a lot of things we need while traveling. We use this truck for just about everything from dump runs, hauling large items to cross country traveling. It is very good on gas mileage. It has a hitch in the back so we can hook up just about anything we want. From a camper, boat, lift ramp for an ECV and it doesn't take hardly any time to get it hooked up. It also has a special towing system when you are towing something. So far we haven't had any trouble with it besides changing the oil and putting new tires on it. I love this truck and I think that anyone who buys one will feel as I do about it.

F-150 The Money Pit
I love the look of my 2009 150 lariat, interior tuff looking but also luxurious, that’s where my compliments end. Since purchasing it I have replaced 2 oxygen sensors, power sliding rear window motor and switch right front caliper locked up, 3rd brake light leaked water in and stained the headliner now I need a new blend door actuator for the drivers side another 1500.00 and I was going to change spark plugs and coils but was told plugs can break off in the head and what would be a small expense now could mean a large one. I don’t call this reliability. Ford knows they have huge issues with blend doors yet still put these in there trucks. The truck is in great condition so it wasn’t abused. If I can get my money back out of the truck I will get rid of it and not purchase another ford I will look at other brands.

Excellent condition, super cab, center console, moonroof, 6.5ft bed!
I recently purchased my ford f-150. It has 114k miles. I bought it used, but it is in excellent condition. It runs very smoothly, compared to the XLT, which was another model I was looking at. I love the size of the cab, there is lots of legroom as well as storage space. I also really like having a center console (rather than a third front seat).

It is definitely a family truck. The crew cab is roomy, and comfortable.
Our f150 is absolutely wonderful. It has the most comfortable cab we can ask for. It fits our family wonderfully. It is one of the most reliable vehicle we have ever had.
