I dont own a 09 YET,but my 07 drives like a dream. As soon as the looks of the 09s grow on me i'll own one most likely. I just need to get used to the headlight and taillight looks. Dont get me wrong the truck looks good it just the new look i guess. I love the interior looks. And if it performs as everyone says i want it. My 07 runs like a deer right now and i cant knock 18mpg. If anyone knocks a FORD they must be out of their minds. Ive owned fords since 1970( with the exception of a 2005 Dodge Ram). The Ram was traded in on the 07 F150 in a hurry.

I picked up this truck one month ago . It's 4.6 V3 engene Super cab XLT-XTR model. All ok in the truck exept one major problem---- It drives like sh..t!!! The pedal vibrates, sounds from the engen is horrable. At the Ford sarvice nobody cares. I gueess I may officialy congratulate Ford on making me angry with my purchse. Next time I 'd rother try Toyota or GM. If you still planning to by one------ my advise don't!!! This is the worst driving truck ever!

So you buy a truck and never post on the forum once in the time you have it but then you decide that it now rides like crap and you wanna tell everyone on the forum. Good one. You must think everyone is stupid. Most people when they first post on a forum introduce there self and then say about what truck they have! But to be honest i couldn't careless if the truck you clearly don't have drives like crap because my platinum f150 drives like a dream.

Thanks.... I realy dont have anythig against F-150 I had ford f-150 before 1999 S/Cub 4X4 v8( 4.6 triton)... In fackt i traded in that truck for this one... on the test drive everething was grate. Honestly my old F-150 at he's age was driving much better than this new one. On the New one... RPM jums, cabin is quite from ouside Yes but when the engen starts to sound like it ready to explode and when the acceleration pedal vibrates... it's not the best ride.Maybe it have something to do with this new 6 spd transmission. I am Just mad becouse i was expecting much more from the new truck.

The reason i post this one is not to hear all the nasty replys about my spelling. But maybe sombody also had this problem, and can share with me what was wrong... I don't care it's uder waranty untill 60k. It will probably brakes if ther is somethimg wrong, and they'll fix it. But i want to enjoy this ride untill than. It will not help if it get fixed on 55K ( after 1.5 year of driving) At least know i know that it's clearly not a problem of a new model. Becose most of you say it's rides good. So all you who are trying to sound tough presing on keboard pleas don't bother replying on this one.

I think I remember reading a thread on this a while back. Some were complaining of a vibration in the pedals when the windshield wipers were running. Don't know what to tell you if it's happening all of the time other than to take it back to the dealer and express your concerns.
On another note, I noticed the OP is from Canada. Not knowing much about Toronto or Canada, is it possible that he speaks French and English and may not be as fluent in English as the rest of us? Just a thought. And, we're all a little guilty of keyboard faux pas from time to time.
Good luck with your truck. It is frustrating to have a problem like that and I hope it gets repaired soon. One other thought would be to take it to a different dealer and if you get no resolution there, contact Ford directly and voice your concerns.
