The rack-and-pinion steering is also solid, as are most of the underbody components of this truck. It's a bit vague too, which is expected from such a big vehicle, and the turning radius is quite large. You have to think twice before making a U-turn on a crowded street.
Those who have not sampled this pickup truck for a long time will first notice how its ride has gotten more car-like. The suspension has a lot to do with it, particularly the rear dampers which have been positioned closer to the corners. As a result, the hopping tendency of previous F-150s has been pleasantly reduced.
Wide selection of configurations
Neat layout and finish
Underbody components more robust than average
Great resale value
Quality audio and navigation system
Bioethanol (60 to 85%) is not yet offered by oil companies
Competitors are getting dangerously close
High fuel consumption
Large turning radius
Needs to be redesigned
