Used Ford F-150 for Sale in Clinton, NC

My 2008 Ford F-150 STX4X4 has been exactly the vehicle I was looking for when I started looking to replace its predecessor. My previous truck was a 1996 Ford F-150 though not 4X4. The 2008 Ford has a one touch starting system which was a new experience for me. At first it felt as if I had given up control of the starting process but, now that I have become accustomed to it, I hate the thought of going back to an ignition switch that I must hold to keep the starter engaged. At 72,000 miles and nearly nine years of age, it still has not posed any problems. The 2008 extended cab has the two small, rear hinge doors for the rear passengers that the '96 did not. They are good quality doors that close and seal quite well and the easy access they provide is invaluable. This style of cab makes it quite easy to avoid the length issues of the 'crew cabs' but still maintains the ability to transport six passengers very nicely. One really nice thing is that this cab style, because there is no post between the doors, is a perfect fit for my upright bass. I simply recline the passenger seat and the instrument lies nicely in heat or cold. The 4.6 liter V8 engine is smooth and gutsy. On the negative side, the driver's seat quickly shows the wear of entry/exit if a sidestep is not installed, or the driver over 6'4". Overall, another winner from Ford and I would not only buy another, I would recommend to others.

Overall, it is a great truck. It has all the bells and whistles one could want without paying the platinum price. We go to stock shows and I can fit all four of us in the vehicle, plus luggage, and not compromise on room. Gas mileage is a steady 16 mpg whether I am city driving or highway driving. The truck has held up extremely well during the two years we've owned it. Many stock shows, going up and down bumpy roads, and kids, practically living out of it, and nothing is tore up.
